Green Synthesis of Kudzu Vine Biochar Decorated Graphene-like MoSe with the Oxidase-like Activity As Intelligent Nanozyme Sensing Platform for Hesperetin

It is an urgent need to exploit a potentially green, cost efficient and eco-friendly strategy for the utilization of waste kudzu vine. We developed a one-step green preparation of kudzu vine biochar (BC) decorated graphene-like molybdenum selenide (MoSe) with the oxidase-like activity as intelligent nanozyme sensing platform for voltametric detection of hesperetin (HP) in orange peel using the in-situ hydrothermal synthesis method. The structure and properties of MoSe-BC was characterized, and found that BC significantly improved electrochemical cycle stability, electronic conductivity, electrochemical active area, and electrocatalytic activity of MoSe. The oxidase-like activity of MoSe-BC was confirmed by the oxidization of the colorless substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to form blue products and the change of absorbance intensity of UV-vis absorption spectra. The MoSe-BC exhibited excellent electrochemical sensing performance for the detection of HP in wide linear ranges from 10 nM to 9.5 μM with a low limit of detection of 2 nM using differential pulse voltammetric method. An emerging machine learning technique is used to realize the intelligent sensing of HP, and the performance evaluation of regression analysis was selected to evaluate this technique. This work will provide a guidance for the preparation and application of biochar decorated graphene-like nanomaterials with the oxidase-like activity and the development of intelligent nanozyme sensing platform.
