To develop effective alternatives to natural enzymes, it is crucial to develop nanozymes that are economical, resource efficient, and environmentally conscious. Carbon nanomaterials that have enzyme-like activities have been extensively developed as substitutes for traditional enzymes.
Carbide-derived carbons (CDCs) were directly synthesized a one-step electrochemical method from a MAX precursor using an ammonium bifluoride electrolyte at ambient conditions. The CDCs were characterized by systematic techniques.
CDCs showed bienzyme-like activities similar to that of peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. We systematically studied the dependence of CDC enzyme-like activity on different electrolytes and electrolysis times to confirm activity dependence on CDC content. Additionally, the synthesis mechanism and CDC applicability were elaborated and demonstrated, respectively.
The demonstrated synthesis strategy eliminates tedious intercalation and delamination centrifugation steps and avoids using high concentrations of HF, high temperatures, and halogen gases. This study paves the way for designing two-dimensional material-based nanocatalysts for nanoenzyme and other applications.
开发经济、资源高效且环保的纳米酶以替代天然酶至关重要。具有类酶活性的碳纳米材料已被广泛开发为传统酶的替代品。
在环境条件下,使用氟化氢铵电解质通过一步电化学法直接从 MAX 前体合成了碳化硅衍生碳(CDCs)。通过系统的技术对 CDCs 进行了表征。
CDCs 表现出类似过氧化物酶和超氧化物歧化酶的双酶样活性。我们系统地研究了不同电解质和电解时间对 CDC 类酶活性的依赖性,以确认活性对 CDC 含量的依赖性。此外,分别阐述了合成机制和 CDC 的适用性。
所展示的合成策略消除了繁琐的插层和剥离离心步骤,避免了使用高浓度 HF、高温和卤素气体。本研究为设计基于二维材料的纳米催化剂用于纳米酶和其他应用铺平了道路。
