The present article introduced an natural enzyme-covered/amino-modified Pd-Pt bimetallic-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework (NAPPZ) for ultrasensitive and specific detection of glucose. The dodecahedral nanomaterial zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8)-loaded Pd-Pt bimetallic nanoparticles endowed the composite with peroxidase-like activity. The modification with glucose oxidase (GOx) facilitated the rapid access of H2O2 produced through glucose oxidation to the Pd-Pt nanoparticles vicinity reducing diffusion. GOx specifically catalyzes the transformation of glucose into H2O2, which then H2O2 rapidly migrates to the Pd-Pt nanoparticles, catalyzing the oxidation of colorless o-phenylenediamine into the orange-yellow product 2,3-diaminophenazine. Based on the aforementioned cascade reaction, the NAPPZ and NAPPZ based on ChOx were utilized for detecting glucose in human urine samples and cholesterol in milk, respectively. The NAPPZ strategy presented a broad detection range (20-1100 μmol L-1) and a low detection limit (15.9 μmol L-1) for glucose, and the NAPPZ based on ChOx strategy approach offered a broad detection range (10-500 μmol L-1) and low detection limit (6.4 μmol L-1) for cholesterol. Therefore, this novel method holds significant potential in the areas of clinical diagnostics and food safety.
