Synthesis of Porous CoFe₂O₄ and Its Application as a Peroxidase Mimetic for Colorimetric Detection of H₂O₂ and Organic Pollutant Degradation.

ABSTRACT: Porous CoFe₂O₄ was prepared via a simple and controllable method to develop a low-cost, high-efficiency, and good-stability nanozyme. The morphology and microstructure of the obtained CoFe₂O₄ was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), specific surface area and pore analysis, and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the annealing temperature has an important effect on the crystallinity, grain size, and specific surface area of CoFe₂O₄. CoFe₂O₄ obtained at 300 °C (CF300) exhibits the largest surface area (up to 204.1 m² g−1) and the smallest grain size. The peroxidase-like activity of CoFe₂O₄ was further verified based on the oxidation of peroxidase substrate 3,3&rsqu
