Abstract:
Nanozyme-based colorimetric analysis has potential applications in environmental monitoring and food safety. Here, we report a novel copper nanocluster (CuNC) nanozyme with high peroxidase-like activity. The results demonstrate exceptional catalytic activity of up to 114.29 U mg-1 in the presence of high oxidation state Cu2+ species. Accordingly, a CuNC-based colorimetric platform was established for high selectivity Hg2+ monitoring with a limit of detection of 4.21 nM. Excitingly, the color change induced by Hg2+ can be detected not only with the naked eye but also using a smartphone, without the need for sophisticated instruments or trained personnel. This work not only provides an economical and reliable multimodal detection method for Hg2+ but also enriches the existing armory of nanozymes in colorimetric studies and beyond.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
