Abstract

In this work, we reported the FeS2@C nanocapsules-modified petal-shaped MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2/FeS2@C) peroxidase prepared by arc discharging combined with hydrothermal methods. We thoroughly investigated their peroxidase-like activities in the colorimetric detection of H2O2 and glutathione (GSH). The results indicate that the prepared petal-shaped MoS2/FeS2@C nanocomposites exhibit enhanced peroxidase activity compared to the single-component MoS2 or FeS2@C. The detection ranges and detection limits (LOD) are 1–150 μM and 0.43 μM for H2O2, respectively, while for GSH, they are 0.2–40 μM and 0.14 μM, respectively. The superior peroxidase-like activity of the MoS2/FeS2@C results from the synergy between the MoS2 and FeS2@C. This synergy creates abundant active sites and more substance shuttle channels, which increases the cyclic efficiency among Fe3+/Fe2+ and Mo6+/Mo4+ and improves the yield of hydroxyl radicals. As a result, the MoS2/FeS2@C nanocomposites acquired quick electron transport and improved peroxidase-like catalytic performance. Moreover, the MoS2/FeS2@C nanocomposites exhibit high stability and selectivity, retaining high-activity levels even after 30 days. These make them promising candidates for use in biosensing and catalysis applications.
