Bimetal MOFs catalyzed Fenton-like reaction for dual-mode detection of thiamphenicol

Abstract

In this work, we used a simple ultrasonic stripping method to synthesize a bimetal MOFs at room temperature as a nanoenzyme with peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity. Through bimetal MOFs catalytic Fenton-like competitive reaction, thiamphenicol can be quantitatively dual-mode detected by fluorescence and colorimetry. It realized the sensitive detection of thiamphenicol in water, and the limits of detection (LOD) were 0.030 nM and 0.031 nM, and the liner ranges were 0.1–150 nM and 0.1–100 nM, respectively. The methods were applied to river water, lake water and tap water samples, and with satisfactory recoveries between 97.67% and 105.54%.
