Exploring peroxidase-like nanozymes with high catalytic activity is an urgent task to construct a fast, convenient, and selective colorimetric sensing platform. In this work, a nanozyme, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyl phenyl)porphyrin-functionalized NiS 2 nanoparticles, anchored on the surface of graphene (Por-NiS 2 /GO) was designed. Compared with NiS 2 nanoparticles anchored on the surface of graphene (NiS 2 /GO), Por-NiS 2 /GO had a higher peroxidase-like activity due to the introduction of porphyrin. The size of NiS 2 nanoparticles was about 110−250 nm. The peroxidase-like behaviors of Por-NiS 2 /GO were evaluated using the chromogenic substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with a fast-blue color change in less than 1 min. Electron spin resonance (ESR) data revealed that the excellent performance of Por-NiS 2 / GO was due to the active oxygen species produced, including hydroxyl radical ( • OH) and superoxide radical ( • O 2 − ), during the catalytic reaction, owing to the synergetic effect among different components including porphyrin, NiS 2 , and GO. Thus, based on the enhanced peroxidase-like activity of Por-NiS 2 /GO, a fast, sensitive, and selective colorimetric sensing platform of H 2 O 2 has been constructed, and furthermore, a sensing platform for cholesterol was also developed coupled with cholesterol oxidase (ChOx). The colorimetric sensing platform was validated by detecting cholesterol in serum samples.
