The Ag NPs exhibited remarkable catalytic activity and a high specific surface area, effectively lowering the oxidation potential of adrenaline molecules and accelerating electron transfer, thereby enhancing detection sensitivity. As a biocarbon material, PCMs possess a high specific surface area and a porous structure, facilitating the adsorption and distribution of adrenaline molecules and thereby improving sensor performance. The synthesized ternary nanocomposite, Ag@POM/PCMs, exhibited synergistic catalytic behavior arising from the combined effects of catalytically active Ag NPs, electron-transfer-promoting POMs, and porous PCMs with a large surface area.

Considering the inherently fragile nature of AChE, a novel composite membrane (PVDF/PDA/PEI) was introduced to immobilize AChE for its excellent simplicity, portability and ease of separation.
