Abstract

Nanoparticles’ catalytic activity and intrinsic ability in generating or scavenging reactive oxygen species in general can be used to show the catalytic activity of natural enzymes. Many nanoparticles with enzyme-like activities have been found, potentially capable of being applied for commercial applications, such as in biosensors, pharmaceutical processes, and the food industry [1] . Compared with natural catalase or artificial CAT enzymes, CAT-like nanozymes have unique properties of low cost, size-dependent properties, high catalytic activity, stability, and easy surface modification[2] . One of the key oxidative threats to oxygen-tolerant organisms is hydrogen peroxide H2O2 [3] . Virtually all organisms employ catalases and peroxidases to keep the steady-state level of endogenous H2O2 below the threshold of toxicity. Herein, CQD/Sb2Wo6were used as a catalase, catalyzing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen.CQD/Sb2Wo6 had better stability than natural catalase when they were exposed to solutions with different pH values and temperatures. The activity of the ,CQD/Sb2Wo6 was measured by UVvisiblespectroscopy. The prepared Catalase were identified using FE-SEM, DRS, EDS, FT-IR, and PL.
