Kinetic analysis of pristine ZIF-9 as a peroxidase mimic: from substrate oxidation to H2O2 detection
摘要
Herein, we demonstrate that pristine Co-based ZIF-9 exhibits exceptional peroxidase-mimicking activity, catalyzing the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine as a model substrate in the presence of H2O2. The nanozyme shows a maximum reaction rate (Vmax) of 3.66 ± 0.10 × 10–5 (M/s) which is 103-fold higher than horseradish peroxidase (HRP). A simple, rapid, and low-cost colorimetric sensor platform for the detection of H2O2 was also developed, demonstrating a linear range of 10−4 − 1.4 × 10–3 M and a detection limit of 0.94 × 10−5 M (S/N = 3).
