Abstract
The morphology affects the catalytic activity of nanozymes. This work prepared different ytterbium Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanozymes with flower-like and rod-like morphologies through changing various amount of K3[Fe(CN)6] and Yb(NO3)3. Flower-like ytterbium PBA (F-YbFe-PBA) prepared using freeze-drying method and lanthanide-doped strategy with 1.5 mmol K3[Fe(CN)6] and Yb(NO3)3 had highest peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity among other F-YbFe-PBA nanozymes with freeze-drying method and rod-like YbFe-PBA (R-YbFe-PBA) nanozymes with traditional coprecipitation approach. F-YbFe-PBA exhibited higher POD-like activity than R-YbFe-PBA, which was attributed to the higher surface area and larger pore size of F-YbFe-PBA. F-YbFe-PBA demonstrated superior POD-like performance compared to other PBA nanozymes of SmFe-PBA, PrFe-PBA, MnFe-PBA, and CuFe-PBA. F-YbFe-PBA provided excellent POD-like activity with Michaelis constant of 0.16 mM and Vmax value of 6.21 × 10−8 M s−1 for substrate of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). In the presence of H2O2, F-YbFe-PBA catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 to generate reactive hydroxyl radicals. However, thiosulfate (S2O32−) has the reducibility capability, effectively suppressing the colorimetric reaction. Therefore, F-YbFe-PBA was successfully utilized to construct a triple-mode selective detection combining colorimetric, photothermal, and smartphone sensing for S2O32− analysis. This triple-mode sensor demonstrated excellent linear detection of S2O32− across a range of 0.1–75 μM through colorimetric, photothermal, and smartphone assays, achieving detection limits of 0.01, 0.01, and 0.03 μM, respectively. Notably, a smartphone-based paper senor with red/blue (R/B) values was developed for real-time and portable detection assay of S2O32−. The proposed sensor had high selectivity for S2O32−. The F-YbFe-PBA-based sensor was successfully employed for S2O32− detection in tap water and milk samples.
