Abstract
Bimetallic Pt/Ag nanoparticles (Pt/Ag NPs) were synthesized using 3-hydroxyphenyl-boronic acid as the reducing and stabilizing agent by a simple, one-step hydrothermal method. The bimetallic Pt/Ag NPs were demonstrated to possess intrinsic peroxidase mimetic catalytic activity for the luminol/H2O2 reaction to generate chemiluminescence (CL). The catalytic properties of the bimetallic Pt/Ag NPs were thoroughly investigated. The results showed that the combination of Pt and Ag greatly enhanced the chemiluminescence which is attributed to their synergy. Moreover, the prepared bimetallic Pt/Ag NPs exhibited superior peroxidase mimetic activity to horseradish peroxidase and were stable under a wide range of pH values and temperatures. Using the bimetallic Pt/Ag NPs as the catalyst, a novel chemiluminescence sensor was developed for the determination of glucose with a linear range from 1 to 500 µM and a detection limit of 0.35 µM. The developed method was successfully employed to determine glucose in human serum with satisfactory results. Bimetallic Pt/Ag NPs with peroxidase mimetic catalytic activity have promising applications for determination of glucose in clinical samples.
