Abstract
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is promising for biodetection in home healthcare due to advantages of simplicity, rapidity, low cost, portability, high sensitivity and accuracy, and object-oriented POCT platform can be developed by nanozyme-based biosensing. However, designing high-performance nanozymes with targeted regulated catalytic activity remains challenging. Herein, advanced PtRhRuCu quaternary alloy nanozymes (QANs) were rationally designed and successfully synthesized. Cu atoms induced mechanisms of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) activation and d-band center regulation, achieving high enhancement of peroxide (POD)-like activity and inhibition of oxidase (OXD)-like activity. Inspired by this, a smartphone-assisted colorimetric platform integrated with test strips was established for glucose detection of soft drinks, with a detection limit of 0.021 mM and a recovery rate of 97.87 to 103.36 %. This work not only provides a novel path for tuning specific enzyme-like activities of metal nanozymes, but also shows the potential feasibility for rational design of POCT sensors in actual samples.
