Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •Peroxidase-like property of Pt@mSiO2 NPs has been demonstrated.•Pt@mSiO2 NPs have both high catalytic activity and good dispersion stability.•Pt@mSiO2 NPs could be used as a substitute of enzyme in immunoassay.•As low as 10ngmL−1 hCG could be detected with a linear range from 5 to 200ngmL−1. Nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes have received great attention in recent year due to their potential application in immunoassay techniques. However, such potential is usually limited by poor dispersion stability or low catalytic activity induced by the capping agent essentially required in the synthesis. In an attempt to address these challenges, here, we studied the novel Pt nanoparticles (NPs) based peroxidase-like mimic by encapsulating Pt NP in mesoporous silica (Pt@mSiO2 NPs). Compared with other nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes, the obtained Pt@mSiO2 NPs not only exhibit high peroxidase-like activity but also have good dispersion stability in buffer saline solution when grafted with spacer PEG. Results show that when the thickness of silica shell is about 9nm the resulting Pt@mSiO2 NPs exhibit the catalytic activity similar to that of Pt NPs, which is approximately 26 times higher than that of Fe3O4 NPs (in terms of Kcat for H2O2). Due to the protection of silica shell, the subsequent surface modification with antibody has little effect on their catalytic activity. The analytical performance of this system in detecting hCG shows that after 5min incubation the limit of detection can reach 10ngmL−1 and dynamic linear working range is 5–200ngmL−1. Our findings pave the way for design and development of novel artificial enzyme labeling.
