The preparation and dual-mode detection of ascorbic acid based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) nanogel with oxidase-like activity

Abstract

Nanozymes have recently become a research hotspot because of the advantages of good stability, excellent catalytic performance and easy storage in comparison to natural enzymes. Nanozymes with oxidase-like activity get special attention because they needn't the participation of hydrogen peroxide. In this paper, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) nanogel with oxidase-like activity was synthesized for the first time. The catalytic mechanism was explored by EPR and UV spectroscopy after adding specific trapping agents of ROS, and the results showed that PNIPAM NG can catalyze O2 to 1O2. In the presence of PNIPAM NG, o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and ascorbic acid (AA) can be oxidized to 2,3-diaminophenazine (oxOPD) and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), and DHA can further react with OPD to produce a fluorescence substance. The colorimetric and fluorescence detection platforms for AA were constructed based on the above principles. Both platforms have satisfactory results in real samples. The fluorescence platform has better sensitivity and selectivity than the colorimetric platform.
