Platinum (Pt)-based nanozymes display exceptional stability and catalytic activity in the activation of HO, making them ideal peroxidase (POD)-like substitutes for immunoassay applications. However, specific catalytic progress is hindered by the excessive orbital overlaps between Pt and oxygen-based intermediates. Herein, a highly efficient mesoporous medium-entropy alloy (m-MEA) nanozyme is reported to selectively enhance POD activity through synergy interaction of multiple elements. Such synergy reduces the 5 orbital energy of Pt, thereby lowering antibonding energy levels and weakening - orbital hybridization between the O 2 and Pt 5. The reduced orbital overlap lowers energetic barriers and suppresses the excessive adsorption of oxygenated intermediates (*OH/*OH), as well as weakens oxygen poisoning of active sites. In addition, the exposed mesoporous structure of m-MEA nanozyme ensures accessible active sites, resulting in a high POD specific activity of 304 ± 1.69 U mg, which is 6.58- and 507-folds higher than that of mesoporous Pt and nonporous MEA nanozymes, respectively. The m-MEA-based immunoassay platform has been utilized for the detection of prostate-specific antigens, achieving an exceptionally low detection limit of 1.20 pg mL, surpassing the sensitivity of traditional enzyme-linked assays.
基于铂(Pt)的纳米酶在激活过氧化氢(HO)方面表现出卓越的稳定性和催化活性,使其成为免疫分析应用中理想的类过氧化物酶(POD)替代物。然而,铂与氧基中间体之间过度的轨道重叠阻碍了特定的催化进程。在此,报道了一种高效的介孔中熵合金(m-MEA)纳米酶,其通过多种元素的协同相互作用选择性地增强POD活性。这种协同作用降低了铂的5个轨道能量,从而降低了反键能级并减弱了O₂与Pt₅之间的轨道杂化。轨道重叠的减少降低了能量势垒,抑制了氧化中间体(*OH/*OOH)的过度吸附,并减弱了活性位点的氧中毒。此外,m-MEA纳米酶暴露的介孔结构确保了活性位点的可及性,导致其POD比活性高达304±1.69 U mg⁻¹,分别比介孔铂和无孔MEA纳米酶高6.58倍和507倍。基于m-MEA的免疫分析平台已用于检测前列腺特异性抗原,实现了1.20 pg mL⁻¹的极低检测限,超过了传统酶联检测的灵敏度。
