Abstract

Hybrid nanozyme graphene quantum dots (GQDs) deposited TiO nanotubes (NTs) on titanium foil (Ti/TiO NTs-GQDs) were manufactured by bestowing the hybrid with the advantageous porous morphology, surface valence states, high surface area, and copious active sites. The peroxidase-like activity was investigated through the catalytic oxidation of chromogenic substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of HO, which can be visualized by the eyes. TiO NTs and GQDs comprising oxygen-containing functional groups can oxidize TMB in the presence of HO by mimicking peroxidase enzymes. The peroxidase-mimicking activity of hybrid nanozyme was significantly escalated by introducing light illumination due to the photosensitive features of the hybrid material. The peroxidase-like activity of Ti/TiO NTs-GQDs enabled HO determination over the linear range of 7 to 250 μM, with a LOD of 2.1 µM. The satisfying peroxidase activity is possibly due to the unimpeded access of HO to the catalyst's active sites. The porous morphology provides the easy channeling of reactants and products. The periodic structure of the material also gave rise to acceptable reproducibility. Without material functionalization, the Ti/TiO NTs-GQDs can be a promising substitute for peroxidases for HO detection.
