Abstract

Seeking simple, green, and inexpensive preparation methods and materials of enzyme mimics has always been highly desirable. In this paper, a nanocomposite with laccase activity was successfully fabricated by using a simple self-association method with copper and tannic acid. Characterizations through SEM, XRD, FTIR, and XPS showed that the Cu-TA hybrid composites had good spherical in shape with a diameter of about 20 nm and three different valence Cu ions (Cu2+, Cu+, and Cu0). The catalytic activity was displayed against typical oxidation substrate of laccases, 2,4-DP. Compared to natural laccases, Cu-TA composites were able to better tolerate changes of pH, temperature, ionic strength, and storage conditions. The Cu-TA composites could remove malachite green (MG) from aqueous solutions effectively. The removal efficiency of MG was optimized using a series of batch tests with single-factor experiment design. Under the optimum conditions, the removal efficiency of MG still retained about 90% after 3 times cycles. Therefore, the Cu-TA composites, as a laccases-like nanozyme, have excellent developing potential in wastewater treatment due to the low-cost of TA and simplicity of preparation.
