Three-Dimensional Hierarchical HRP-MIL-100(Fe)@TiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 Janus Magnetic Micromotor as a Smart Active Platform for Detection and Degradation of Hydroquinone.

A novel multifunctional Janus magnetic micromotor was designed and constructed by using MIL-100(Fe)@TiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 multicore-shells modified with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a smart active platform to realize detection and degradation of hydroquinone (HQ). The obtained micromotor showed a unique three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical architecture with highly exposed active sites and could autonomously move at a speed of 140 ± 7.0 μm·s -1 by O 2 bubbles generated from the catalytic decomposition of H 2 O 2 fuel. Benefiting from the combination of active self-propulsive motion, high peroxidase-like activity, tuned heterojunctions with matching band structures, and a 3D hierarchical structure, an effective platform involving dynamically sensitive detection and quick removal of HQ from water was established by using the multifunctional HRP-integrated MIL-100(Fe)@TiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 Janus micromotor. The proposed multifunctional Janus magnetic micromotor had advantages of simple and feasible fabrication, sensitive detection and effective photo-Fenton degradation of HQ in a wide pH range of 4-7, and magnetic recycling, revealing potential for environmental remediation applications.
