Abstract
Recently, nanozymes as an outstanding alternative to natural enzymes has attracted wide attention because of its high stability performance. In this study, PNC nonmetal nanozymes with high oxidase-like activity was synthesized can specifically catalyze colorless 3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-benzidine(TMB) to form blue oxidized TMB (TMBox). In the presence of nitrite, it further oxidizes TMBox to obtain yellow derivative products attributed to nitrite inducing diazotization reaction in TMBox. Based on this principle, a colorimetric and electrochemical sensing system was developed, and the ultra-sensitive multi-mode detection of nitrite was realized by combining RGB mode of smart phone, UV–Vis spectrum and electrochemical method. Compared with single signal detection, the multi-mode sensing system can realize self-validation to achieve more reliable detection results. What's more, the developed multi-mode sensing could quickly and sensitively detect nitrite in real sample, especially RGB mode of smart phone meeting the equipment limited areas, suggesting a broad application prospects in food safety.
