Abstract
Fe-N-C single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit excellent peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity, owing to their well-defined isolated iron active sites on the carbon substrate, which effectively mimic the structure of natural peroxidase's active center. To further meet the requirements of diverse biosensing applications, SAC POD-like activity still needs to be continuously enhanced. Herein, a phosphorus (P) heteroatom is introduced to boost the POD-like activity of Fe-N-C SACs. A 1D carbon nanowire (FeNCP/NW) catalyst with enriched Fe-N4 active sites is designed and synthesized, and P atoms are doped in the carbon matrix to affect the Fe center through long-range interaction. The experimental results show that the P-doping process can boost the POD-like activity more than the non-P-doped one, with excellent selectivity and stability. The mechanism analysis results show that the introduction of P into SAC can greatly enhance POD-like activity initially, but its effect becomes insignificant with increasing amount of P. As a proof of concept, FeNCP/NW is employed in an enzyme cascade platform for highly sensitive colorimetric detection of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
