V2O5 nanowires as a robust and efficient peroxidase mimic at high temperature in aqueous media

Abstract

For the first time, this article demonstrated that V₂O₅ nanowires served as a robust and efficient peroxidase mimic catalyst in luminol-based chemiluminescence reaction in aqueous media at high temperature. Over 90% of the maximum catalytic activity remained at 70 °C. Singlet oxygen was involved in the CL reaction catalysed by V₂O₅ nanowires, which was quite different from the traditional catalysts.
