Abstract

Fe-based single-atomic site catalysts (SASCs), with the natural metalloproteases-like active site structure, have attracted widespread attention in biocatalysis and biosensing. Precisely, controlling the isolated single-atom Fe-N-C active site structure is crucial to improve the SASCs’ performance. In this work, we use a facile ion-imprinting method (IIM) to synthesize isolated Fe-N-C single-atomic site catalysts (IIM-Fe-SASC). With this method, the ion-imprinting process can precisely control ion at the atomic level and form numerous well-defined single-atomic Fe-N-C sites. The IIM-Fe-SASC shows better peroxidase-like activities than that of non-imprinted references. Due to its excellent properties, IIM-Fe-SASC is an ideal nanoprobe used in the colorimetric biosensing of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Using IIM-Fe-SASC as the nanoprobe, in situ detection of H2O2 generated from MDA-MB-231 cells has been successfully demonstrated with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity. This work opens a novel and easy route in designing advanced SASC and provides a sensitive tool for intracellular H2O2 detection.


Highlights:


1 A facile ion-imprinting method (IIM) is used to synthesize the isolated Fe-N-C single-atomic site catalyst (IIM-Fe-SASC), which mimics the natural enzyme-like active site and shows excellent peroxidase-like activity.
2 The ion-imprinting process can precisely control ion at the atomic level and form numerous well-defined single-atomic Fe-N-C sites.
3 The IIM-Fe-SASC has been successfully used as the nanoprobe for in situ H2O2 detection generated from MDA-MB-231 cells.
