Abstract
The development of novel non-enzyme mimics for (bio)sensing applications is of great practical importance. Herein, an efficient chemiluminescence (CL) system is presented according to the significant mimetic behavior of the copper metal-organic framework decorated with cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co3O4@CuMOF). The catalytic activity of nanocomposite was proved by its strengthening effect on the CL emission of rhodamine B (RB)-hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) reaction. More documents were also obtained using colorimetric and fluorometric peroxidase substrates. The presence of Cu and Co in the Co3O4@CuMOF structure, as well as the high porosity and great surface area of the obtained composite, was responsible for the observed synergetic catalytic activity. The Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) for the composite (0.108 mM) was remarkably lower than that of pristine CuMOF and Co3O4 NPs, illustrating its superior affinity towards H2O2. A linear correlation was found between the CL intensity and H2O2 concentration in the extensive range of 1–250 nM, with a detection limit (3S) of 0.244 nM. Furthermore, the developed system was exploited as a reliable sensing device for individual measurement of cholesterol and glucose after their enzymatic oxidations. The obtained data verified the high sensitivity and selectivity of the probe, which could be linked to the presence of high-performance Co3O4@CuMOF and the accompanying enzymes, respectively. The designed method was appropriately applied to measure cholesterol and glucose levels in human serum samples, and its accuracy was validated by analyzing the standard materials.
