PBA-MoS2 nanoboxes with enhanced peroxidase activity for constructing a colorimetric sensor array for reducing substances containing the catechol structure

Abstract

Some nanoperoxidase-based colorimetric sensors have been used to detect only one molecule at a time. Thus, the simultaneous detection of various molecules coexisting in the same system is a great challenge. In this work, an excellent nanoperoxidase, nickel cobalt Prussian blue analogue-MoS2 nanoboxes (PBA-MoS2), have been successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method and used to construct a colorimetric sensing array to determine a series of reductive substances containing the catechol structure (such as catechol, epinephrine hydrochloride, procyanidin, caffeic acid and dopamine hydrochloride). The excellent peroxidase-like activity of PBA-MoS2 is verified by the chromogenic reaction of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2 in 2 min. The catalytic mechanism of PBA-MoS2 is attributed to generated reactive species including holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (˙O2) in the process of catalysis. The fast economic H2O2 colorimetric sensing array has been constructed based on the PBA-MoS2 nanoperoxidase. Due to the presence of different reducing substances, the catalytic oxidation of TMB can be restricted to different extents, accompanied by blue colour changes to varying degrees. Therefore, on combining PBA-MoS2 nanoperoxidase with H2O2 and TMB, five reductive substances can be quantitatively distinguished by linear discriminant analysis (LDA) at the 2 mM level.
