Optimal Synthesis of Organic@Inorganic (Algea@Cu) Hybrid Nanoflowers and Their Fenton-like Catalysis and Antioxidant Properties

Abstract

Organic@inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (hNFs), which are widely used in enzyme purification and catalytic activity applications, consist of organic and inorganic components. Herein, hNFs was synthesized by the coordination of Ascoseria mirabilis extract and Cu in PBS, depending on concentration and medium pH, instead of expensive and difficult to obtain molecules (enzymes, DNA etc). According to the FE-SEM images, the morphology of hNFs depend to the pH of the PBS (synthesis did not occur at pH 5) and the volume of extract. The presence of Cu and other components was detailed with EDX mapping. The presence of functional groups playing key role in the synthesis was discussed with FT-IR peaks. Cu hNFs exhibited peroxidase like catalytic activity against guaiacol, and antioxidant activity. It is thought that this study will shed light on hNFs synthesis and catalytic activity application studies with bioextracts instead of biomolecules obtained by expensive and complex processes.
