Abstract
Due to their effective catalytic activity and maximum atom utilization, single metal atoms dispersed in carbon matrices have found diverse applications in electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, organic catalysis, and biosensing. Herein, iron is atomically dispersed into nitrogen-doped porous carbon aerogel by a facile pyrolysis procedure, and the resulting nanocomposite behaves both as a peroxidase mimic for the sensitive detection of glucose by fluorescence spectroscopy and as an effective catalyst for the electrochemical oxidation of glucose. The glucose concentration can be quantified within the millimolar to micromolar range with a limit of detection of 3.1 and 0.5 μM, respectively. Such a dual-functional detection platform also shows excellent reproducibility, stability, and selectivity, and the performance in glucose detection of clinical and artificial human body fluids is highly comparable to that of leading assays in recent studies and results from commercial sensors. Results from this study suggest that carbon aerogel-supported single atoms can be used as a dual-functional nanozyme for the construction of low-cost, high-performance dual-signal readout platforms for glucose detection.Keywords
