Abstract

Ferrous(II) phosphate nanoflowers (Fe(PO)·8HO NFs) were synthesized by a facial co-precipitation method. The structure, composition and morphology were characterized by XRD, EDX, element mapping and FESEM. The as-prepared Fe(PO)·8HO NFs exhibited excellent intrinsic peroxidase-like activity. Steady-state kinetic studies showed that Fe(PO)·8HO NFs exhibited stronger affinities with 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and HOas the substrates compared with the natural horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and the catalytic constant (k) value was even higher than HRP and other reported nanomaterial based peroxidase mimics. The investigation of the catalytic mechanism by cyclic voltammetry, fluorescence spectroscopy and ESR displayed the catalytic activity of Fe(PO)·8HO NFs originated from the generation of ?OH. The Fe(PO)·8HO NFs also exhibited higher robustness and better storage stability than HRP. Then, a Fe(PO)·8HO NFs-based colorimetric platform was developed to determine HOand glucose. The linear range of HOand glucose was as broad as 1 × 10-2.5?mM and 8 × 10-1.2?mM, and the detection limit (LOD) was as low as 5?nM and 35?nM, respectively. This simple assay offered a highly sensitive and specific strategy for HOand glucose determination, which had been successfully utilized for real sample analysis with good reproducibility and accuracy.

Iron

See more Iron products. Iron (atomic symbol: Fe, atomic number: 26) is a Block D, Group 8, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 55.845. The number of electrons in each of Iron's shells is 2, 8, 14, 2 and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d6 4s2. Iron Bohr ModelThe iron atom has a radius of 126 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 194 pm. Iron was discovered by humans before 5000 BC. In its elemental form, iron has a lustrous grayish metallic appearance. Iron is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust and the most common element by mass forming the earth as a whole. Iron is rarely found as a free element, since it tends to oxidize easily; it is usually found in minerals such as magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite, or siderite.Elemental Iron Though pure iron is typically soft, the addition of carbon creates the alloy known as steel, which is significantly stronger.

Phosphorus

Phosphorus Bohr ModelSee more Phosphorus products. Phosphorus (atomic symbol: P, atomic number: 15) is a Block P, Group 15, Period 3 element. The number of electrons in each of Phosphorus's shells is 2, 8, 5 and its electronic configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p3. The phosphorus atom has a radius of 110.5.pm and its Van der Waals radius is 180.pm. Phosphorus is a highly-reactive non-metallic element (sometimes considered a metalloid) with two primary allotropes, white phosphorus and red phosphorus its black flaky appearance is similar to graphitic carbon. Compound forms of phosphorus include phosphates and phosphides. Phosphorous was first recognized as an element by Hennig Brand in 1669 its name (phosphorus mirabilis, or "bearer of light") was inspired from the brilliant glow emitted by its distillation.
