The long-term overuse of ciprofloxacin has resulted in its ubiquitous release into aquatic environments, seriously threatening public and ecological security. Herein, a photo-assisted-electro-Fenton-like (PAEF-like) system using p–n type Cu2O/Bi2MoO6 (CBM) as photoelectric catalyst was designed for efficient ciprofloxacin removal. The realization of photo-assisted function benefited from the perfectly constructed p–n heterojunction, which effectively regulated the carrier migration behaviors and drove the directional delivery of photoinduced electrons with flexible reactivity. Furthermore, photoinduced electrons directly or indirectly promoted the activation of H2O2 to enhance the ability of the PAEF-like synergy system to form ˙OH, improving the photoelectric catalytic activity. As dominant active species, ˙OH cooperated with h+ and ˙O2−, leading to the efficient elimination of ciprofloxacin. Finally, the degradation rate within 120 min reached almost 100%, and the corresponding kinetic constant was 208 and 1.5 times that of the photocatalytic and EF-like system, separately. Importantly, CBM-25% still maintained superior removal effect after four consecutive runs, revealing the high stability and practical feasibility of the PAEF-like system.

Moringa oleifera leaves are a kind of new food raw materials, rich in functional factors, M. oleifera leaves aqueous extract have antioxidant activity and M. oleifera leave protein is an important active ingredient in the aqueous extract. Numerous studies have shown that peptides have strong antioxidant activity. To reveal the antioxidant effects of M. oleifera (MO) leaves peptides, MO leave antioxidant peptides were isolated and prepared to clarify their antioxidant activity. MLPH1 (<1 kDa), MLPH3 (1~3 kDa), MLPH5 (3~5 kDa), and MLPH10 (5~10 kDa) fractions were obtained by the membrane ultrafiltration classification of MO leaves proteolytic hydrolysate (MLPH). MLPH1 was further separated by centrifugal filters, and the fraction separated by <1 kDa (MLPH1-1) was identified and analyzed by LC–MS/MS. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of MO leaves antioxidant peptide pretreatment on H2O2-treated HepG2 cells and to refine the antioxidant activity. The results showed that MLPH1 had the strongest antioxidant activity, and three MO leaves antioxidant peptides (LALPVYN, LHIAALVFQ, and FHEEDDAKLF) were obtained. The peptide with the sequence LALPVYN and a molecular weight of 788.44 Da had the strongest antioxidant activity. After 24 h of LALPVYN pretreatment, the cell viability and the CAT, GSH-Px, and SOD enzyme activity were significantly increased, and the MDA, ROS, and apoptosis rates were significantly decreased. These results provide a theoretical basis for further research on the antioxidant mechanism of MO leaves peptides.

A conventional colorimetric method based on CuS-catalyzed H 2 O 2 is improved by a dual-modification strategy and employed for thioglycolic acid (TGA) determination. The doping of Co(II) can enhance ion exchange efficiency. Meanwhile, the modification of g-C 3 N 4 can increase specific surface area and decrease unspecific aggregation. The constructed g-C 3 N 4 /Co-CuS nanocomposite exhibited a favorable catalytic feature. A Michaelis constant (K m ) value of 0.02 mM has been achieved, which is 1/160 of those of CuS and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The g-C 3 N 4 /Co-CuS displays a rapid color response in 3 min and resulted in a stable measurable signal within 10 min. In the determination procedure, the sulfhydryl contained in TGA is capable of preventing TMB oxidation via competing the · OH produced by catalysis and caused a color distinction that is related to the TGA amount. The distinctions of absorbance (λ max = 652 nm) of different concentrations of TGA are recorded. Linearity is obtained in the ranges of 2.5 – 20 µM and 20 – 160 µM, and the LOD is 0.14 µM. In the real sample assays of perm agent and Qianhu lake water, the recoveries were 96.70 – 106.84% and 100.21 – 101.90%, respectively. This demonstrates that the proposed dual-modification strategy for CuS contributes to highly efficient and convenient determination of TGA in daily cosmetics and water analysis. Graphical Abstract

As recently emerging nanomaterials, boron nanosheets (BNSs) have attracted more and more attention in various fields such as supercapacitors, photodetectors, bioimaging, and electrocatalysis due to their advantages of good biological compatibility, environmental friendliness, and good electro-optical properties. However, the study and application of BNSs in chemical and biological sensing are still in the infant stage, mainly due to the requirement of complicated, high-cost, and time-consuming preparation strategies. In this work, a new class of BNSs, namely oxidized-BNSs (i.e., ox-BNSs), were easily and rapidly synthesized by chemically treating boron powder with diluted HNO3 in a very short time (less than 15 min). The composition, morphology, optical property, and peroxidase mimetic activity of obtained ox-BNSs were investigated in detail. The prepared ox-BNSs were several-layered nanosheets with abundant oxygen-containing groups, emitted blue fluorescence, and possessed good intrinsic peroxidase mimetic activity, based on which a sensitive and selective colorimetric sensor was developed for detection of H2O2 and glucose. The new easy preparation strategy and good sensing performances of the prepared ox-BNSs would greatly stimulate the study and application of BNSs in chemo- and biosensing.

The excellent selectivity and anti-interference ability of enzyme-based biosensors have attracted considerable attention by researchers. However, the short lifetime, difficult electron transfer, and easily leak from the supporting materials restrict the practical applications of enzyme. In this study, an enzyme–inorganic hybrid biosensor constructed from slack Hb–Mn3(PO4)2·3H2O nanosheets was prepared by a simple and effective in situ immobilization method. Designed as an H2O2 sensor, it exhibits a fast electron transfer rate constant (ks = 4.16 s−1), an ultra-wide linear range for H2O2 detection (20 to 56 100 μM), and long life-time (85% of initial response after 29 days), which may be attributed to the effective immobilization of the enzyme and the good biocompatibility of Mn3(PO4)2·3H2O. For the detection of a real sample, the range of recovery of our designed biosensor was around 98.2–102.6%, confirming that our proposed method presents a promising immobilization enzyme-based biosensor for use in practical applications.

Photo-Fenton degradation as a promising strategy for antibiotic wastewater treatment attracted extensive attention, while the unsatisfactory catalytic performance vitally limits its industrial application. Herein, we demonstrate that confining atomically dispersed Cu into C3N4 (Cu–C3N4) enables fast H2O2 activation and efficient separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, resulting in a dramatic improvement of the degradation efficiency of the Photo-Fenton reaction. Photo-Fenton degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) was close to 99% within 30 min over optimized Cu–C3N4, corresponding to a pseudo-first-order rate constant of ∼0.0978 min–1, almost 4.5 times higher than pure C3N4 counterpart. The electron paramagnetic resonance, quenching experiments, and X-ray absorption fine structure results reveal that the superior Photo-Fenton catalytic performance is attributed to a nonradical reaction pathway, where the H2O2 is activated by the formation of the O═Cu–N4═O intermediate. The advanced catalyst as well as the refreshing H2O2 activation mechanism are of profound significance for the materials design in the wastewater treatment field.

By employing NH 2 -MIL-88 as a template, we synthesized the intermediate Fe@CN under high-temperature calcination and further fabricated the FeS 2 @CN nanocomposites in the presence of sulfur powder. Under varying temperatures (300–600 °C) and Fe@CN-to-S ratios (1:3–6), FeS 2 @CN 500-5 nanocomposites had the highest peroxidase-mimetic activity. Under optimized conditions (incubation temperature 40 °C; solution pH 4.0 and nanocomposite concentration 10 μg/mL; 652-nm absorption), the Michaelis-Menten constant ( K m ) of FeS 2 @CN was much lower than that of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), therefore demonstrating that it had a higher affinity for both chromogenic substrates than conventional HRP. The limits of detection for H 2 O 2 and glucose were 0.15 and 0.30 μmol/L, respectively, and the recoveries for glucose were 91.8–103% with RSDs <5.2%. The novelty of this study lies in (1) the FeS 2 @CN was confirmed to possess stronger enzyme-mimetic activity than its precursors (NH 2 -MIL-88 and Fe@CN); (2) the enhanced activity resulted from the unsaturated sites of N and S doping and the plentiful defects on the porous carbon surface; and (3) free radical trapping experiments evidenced that •OH played a major role in the catalytic reaction, while h + and •O 2 − simultaneously participated in the catalytic process. These convincing performance metrics lead us to postulate that the FeS 2 @CN-based colorimetric biosensor provides a promising approach for several real-world applications, such as point-of-care diagnosis and workplace health evaluations.

Constructing hollow mesoporous nanostructures for dispersing catalytically active sites has attracted growing interest. Here, for the first time, Co 3 O 4 hollow nanocages (Co 3 O 4 HNCs) derived from ZIF-67 were prepared for loading iron nanoparticles (FeNPs), resulting in FeNPs@Co 3 O 4 hollow nanocages (FeNPs@Co 3 O 4 HNCs). FeNPs@Co 3 O 4 HNCs were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS and FT-IR. The FeNPs@Co 3 O 4 HNCs composites could catalyze the oxidation of TMB into blue product by H 2 O 2 , showing better peroxidase-like activity than FeNPs and Co 3 O 4 HNCs. Notably, kinetic studies indicated that FeNPs@Co 3 O 4 HNCs behaved an excellent affinity to H 2 O 2 with K m value of 0.019 mM, which was 195 times lower than that of HRP. On this basis, a facile colorimetric biosensing method was established to detect glucose. The linear range was 0.5–30 μM, and the limit of detection was 0.05 μM. The proposed sensor was successfully used to determine glucose in human serum samples. The highly catalytic performance of FeNPs@Co 3 O 4 HNCs is attributed to its porous hollow structure, which is beneficial for dispersion of in situ formed FeNPs and for reducing the agglomeration. Further, the FeNPs@Co 3 O 4 HNCs catalysts with porous character provide an essential way to expose active sites as far as possible to the substrate and increase the catalytic active sites.

With increasing requirements of replacing the high-cost and unstable natural enzymes, the rational design of highly efficient inorganic mimetic enzymes (nanozymes), as one of the most important bioactive materials, has attracted more and more attention in recent years. In our work, using the solvent evaporation induced co-assembly strategy with high-molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polystyrene (PEO- b -PS) diblock copolymer as the template and two metal salts as the co-precursors in one-pot system, we synthesized ordered mesoporous heteroatom-doped CeO 2 with high surface area, bimodal pore sizes and highly crystallized walls. The composite materials were then constructed as the mimetic enzymes to investigate their peroxidase-like catalytic performance and detect H 2 O 2 and glucose as bioactive materials in diverse systems including complex biological samples. It was demonstrated that mesoporous 5%CoO/CeO 2 catalyst was the best peroxidase mimic, following the typical Michaelis–Menten kinetics and exhibiting the excellent peroxidase-like catalytic performance toward 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with comparable K m and V m values to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme. A highly sensitive and selective colorimetric assay was developed to detect H 2 O 2 and glucose with detection limits of 0.88 and 19.6 μM, respectively. The promising catalytic behavior of mesoporous 5%CoO/CeO 2 as the peroxidase-like bioactive catalyst could be ascribed to its interconnected large mesopores, rich exposed surface defects and oxygen vacancies introduced by the heterojunction interface of ultrasmall CeO 2 and CoO nanocrystals within pore walls.

Noble-metal nanostructures are promising for biosensing applications owing to their fantastic physicochemical properties, but the rational design of their easy-accessible and reactive surface is still challenging. This work is devoted to the interfacial engineering of Ag-Pd alloys, including tuning alloy composition and geometric structure, to promote the electrochemical biosensing performance. Through a co-tuning tactic with controlled reduction, channel-rich Ag 1 Pd 3 alloys with optimal electronic configurations and accessible active surface are successfully obtained, which afford high sensitivity, outstanding selectivity and excellent repeatability to detect H 2 O 2 and glucose biomarkers. As experimentally and theoretically evidenced, tailoring the composition of Ag-Pd alloys ameliorates electronic configurations due to ligand effects, which can optimize the binding with the key intermediate of OH*, and thereby boost electrochemical kinetic steps on surface. Meanwhile, tuning geometric structure with abundant channels enables fast transport of analytes toward largely-exposed active sites. Providing an atomic-level interpretation of structure-dependent biosensing, this work is anticipated to offer guidelines for the development of efficient sensing platforms.

A highly energy-efficient flow-through Electro-Fenton (E-Fenton) reactor for oxidation of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was designed using a perforated DSA as anode and the graphite felt modified by carbon black and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as cathode for the in situ generation of H 2 O 2 . The modified cathode had a high H 2 O 2 production with low energy consumption, which was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption study and contact angle. The flow-through E-Fenton system was compared to the flow-by and regular one, and confirmed to be best on MB removal and TOC degradation. The operational parameters such as current density, pH, Fe 2+ concentration and flow rate were optimized. The MB and TOC removal efficiency of the effluents could keep above 90% and 50%, respectively, and the energy consumption was 23.0 kWh/kgTOC at the current density of 50 mA, pH 3, 0.3 mM Fe 2+ , and the flow rate of 7 mL/min. OH was proved to be the main oxidizing species in this system. After 5 times operation, the system, especially cathode, still showed good stability. Five more organic pollutants including orange II (OG), tartrazine, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), tetracycline (TC) and 2,4-dichlorophen (2,4-DCP) were investigated and the electric energy consumption (EEC) was compared with literatures. All results demonstrated that this flow-through E-Fenton system was energy-efficient and potential for degradation of organic pollutants.

Artificial enzymes have received much attention because of easy access, low cost and good stability. In this work, we report on a core–shell artificial peroxidase, namely, Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-100(Fe), which can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H 2 O 2 to produce a blue product. The combination of Fe 3 O 4 and MIL-100(Fe) can remarkably enhance peroxidase-like activity. The catalytic behavior of Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-100(Fe) followed Michaelis–Menten equation and the affinity of Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-100(Fe) to substrate was higher than horseradish peroxidase. Under the optimal conditions, the absorbance of oxidized TMB at 652 nm is linearly correlated with the concentration of H 2 O 2 . As H 2 O 2 is the oxidative product of cholesterol in the presence of cholesterol oxidase, a sensitive and selective method of cholesterol detection was also developed. As low as 0.8 μM of cholesterol could be detected with a linear range from 2 to 50 μM ( r = 0.999). The proposed method was successfully applied to the detection of cholesterol levels in serum samples. As an artificial peroxidase, Fe 3 O 4 @MIL-100(Fe) has advantages of high catalytic efficiency, low cost, good stability, easy preparation and storage. This work demonstrates that MOF-based materials hold great promise for applications in bioanalysis.
