Abstract

The flexible two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet structure, high specific surface, and unique electrical properties make graphene an emerging nano-building block for molecule-responsive nanochannels. Herein, we report a novel graphene and V2O5 nanowire–based porous asymmetric membrane, which shows excellent catalytic performance and sensitive and quick response for H2O2. Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)–functionalized graphene nanosheets were made into restacked lamellar film with porous structure and high anion selectivity. V2O5 nanowire, a kind of enzyme-mimetic nanomaterial, was mounted on one side of the graphene membrane through a sequential vacuum filtration method. The V2O5 nanowires on the membrane have high catalytic activities for H2O2 reduction, with the Michealis-Menten constant (KM) of 1.74 mM, better than various reported peroxidase-based nanocomposites and peroxidase mimics. This composite membrane showed quick response to H2O2 within 5 s, with good reproducibility and high operational stability. The responsive linear range was from 10 μM to 1 mM, with the detection limit of 9.5 μM. This fabrication of 2D layered nanomaterials and enzyme mimics could be extended for developing novel smart molecule-responsive devices.
