Article Abstract
In this work, we report a fast and colorimetric method for the detection of antioxidants based on the oxidase-like activity of two-dimensional MnO nanosheets. Specifically, MnO nanosheets can transform the colourless substrate, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), into a deep blue product (oxTMB) via catalytic oxidation, with a specific absorption peak arising at 652 nm. In the presence of antioxidants, both the dramatic colour fading and the decrease in absorbance at 652 nm are observed owing to the inhibition of catalytic oxidation of TMB, where MnO nanosheets can be transformed into Mn with the aid of antioxidants. Based on the linear relationship between the absorbance at 652 nm and the concentration of the antioxidants, quantitative determination of antioxidants in the range of 0.1-12 μM has been achieved. Moreover, combined with smartphone-based technology, a portable colorimetric analytical platform for assay of antioxidants is further developed. This method shows advantages including easy operation, low cost, rapid detection and high sensitivity and has been successfully applied in the determination of total antioxidants in red wine.

Introduction: Manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) play a critical role in converting soluble Mn(II) to insoluble Mn(III/IV) oxides, which have been widely applied for environmental remediation, particularly in heavy metal pollution control. Therefore, the discovery of novel MOB strains is of great significance for advancing pollution mitigation and ecosystem restoration.
Methods: In this study, a manganese-oxidizing bacterial strain was isolated from Mn-contaminated soil near an electroplating factory using selective LB medium supplemented with 10 mmol/L manganese chloride (MnCl), and the Leucoberbelin Blue (LBB) assay was employed to screen and identify strains with strong Mn(II)-oxidation ability.

Eu-MOF with rhomboid structure and strong fluorescence was successfully synthesized in this work. By combining fluorescent Eu-MOF with peroxidase mimic MnO nanosheets, a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensing method was developed for the sensitive detection of piceatannol (PCT), a naturally occurring stilbene-type polyphenolic compound. The sensing mechanism relies on the strong antioxidant ability of PCT, which reductively decomposes MnO nanosheets into Mn and results in the attenuation of the fluorescence intensity of the o-phenylenediamine (OPD) oxidation product and the concomitant recovery of Eu-MOF fluorescence.

The fungicidal efficacy of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) on fungal biosynthetic pathways and metabolic processes has been well-documented, but the precise modulation of •OH generation remains a significant challenge. Herein, we engineered a dual-cocatalyst-modified BiFeO (BFO) system by loading Au nanoparticles on (010) facets and MnO nanosheets on (100) facets. Au/MnO/BFO demonstrates a 4.

Manganese dioxide (MnO)-based heterogeneous catalysts have gained significant attention in nanozyme research due to their exceptional oxidase-mimicking capabilities. This work reports the rational design of MnO functionalized magnetic carbon nanotubes (FeO@C@MnO) through a multistep synthesis strategy. The magnetic N-doped hollow carbon substrate (FeO@C) was first synthesized via controlled pyrolysis of FeOOH-coated polydopamine precursors.
