Polyelectrolyte-functionalized reduced graphene oxide wrapped helical POMOF nanocomposites for bioenzyme-free colorimetric biosensing. Talanta. 2020 Dec 01;220:121373 Authors: Tong Z, Xu M, Li Q, Liu C, Wang Y, Sha J Abstract For the sake of effective colorimetric sensing-pattern, a sensitive colorimetric sensor was conceived based on polyoxometalates based metal-organic frameworks (POMOFs) and polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride functionalized reduced graphene oxide (PDDA-rGO) for the first time, in which PDDA as a "glue" molecule turns rGO nanosheets into general platforms for bonding POMOFs nanoparticles. Herein, a new POMOF compound with fascinating helices-on-helices feature, [Ni4(Trz)6(H2O)2][SiW12O40].4H2O (Trz = 1,2,4-triazole) (abbreviated as Ni4SiW12), was synthesized and characterized, then PDDA-rGO sheet as dispersive and conductive material was successfully introduced to Ni4SiW12 fabricating new PDDA-rGO/Ni4SiW12-n nanocomposites, (abbreviated as PMPG-n). The resulting PMPG-n nanocomposites as peroxidase mimetic show excellent catalytic activities under extreme condition (pH value 2.5), attributed to the nature and synergies from POMs, MOFs and PDDA-rGOs. Note that the peroxidase-like activity of PMPG-1 (the mass ratio of Ni4SiW12 to PDDA-rGO is 1:1) exhibits higher sensitivity (1-60 μM), faster response (10 min) and the lowest limit of detection (2.07 μM) among all reported materials to citric acid (CA) to date....
