ABSTRACT
Designing highly active nanozymes for bioanalysis and environmental sensing remains a challenge. In this study, transition metal, palladium (Pd) and iron (Fe), doped germanium oxide (GeO2) nanozyme was designed and optimized. Compared with the pristine GeO2 nanozyme, the transition metal doped GeO2 nanozyme have lower Michaelis-Menten constants and higher catalytic activity, indicating that the Pd and Fe doped GeO2 nanozyme not only enhance their affinity for the substrate but also improve its catalytic activity. In addition, a colorimetric sensor based on the GeO2@Pd-H2O2-TMB system was constructed for the visual detection of simazine in water samples due to the good affinity between TMB and simazine. This sensor has good selectivity and sensitivity with a detection limit of 6.21 µM because of the highest catalytic performance of GeO2@Pd nanozyme. This study broadens the application of nanozymes in environmental field and other nanozymes can also be enhanced in activity by simple transition metal doping.
