Mussel-Inspired Magnetic Nanoflowers as an Effective Nanozyme and Antimicrobial Agent for Biosensing and Catalytic Reduction of Organic Dyes.

ABSTRACT: Mussel-inspired chemistry has been embodied as a method for acquiring multifunctional nanostructures. In this research, a novel mussel-inspired magnetic nanoflower was prepared through a mussel-inspired approach. Herein, magnetic PDA-Cu nanoflowers (NFs) were assembled via incorporating magnetic Fe₃O₄@SiO₂-NH₂ core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) into mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) and copper phosphate as the organic and inorganic portions, respectively. Accordingly, the flower-like morphology of MNPs PDA-Cu NFs was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the crystalline structure of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and copper phosphate. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) data revealed th
