5-Carboxyfluorescein: intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activity and its application in the biomimetic synthesis of polyaniline nanoplatelets

Abstract

5-Carboxyfluorescein is verified to possess intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activity and can serve as a robust artificial peroxidase for the biomimetic synthesis of polyaniline nanoplatelets under harsh conditions. Our work discloses the potential of using this small molecule as a peroxidase surrogate for the biomimetic synthesis of nanostructured polymers.
