Exploring the Antibacterial and Biosensing Applications of Peroxidase-Mimetic Ni_0.1Cu_0.9S Nanoflower.

ABSTRACT: Nanozymes, as artificial enzymes with the biological action of natural enzymes, have enormous potential in the fields of disease diagnosis, bacteriostasis, biosensing, etc. In this work, the Ni_0.1Cu_0.9S nanoflower was successfully synthesized through a one-step hydrothermal method. A combined strategy of Ni doping and morphology design was employed to adjust its electronic structure and active sites, endowing the Ni_0.1Cu_0.9S nanoflower with excellent peroxidase-like activity. Therefore, it can catalyze the decomposition of H₂O₂ to generate •OH with higher antibacterial activity, establishing a broad-spectrum antibacterial system based on the Ni_0.1Cu_0.9S nanoflower against E. coli and S. aureus
