The invention relates to the technical field of nano-
enzyme preparation, in particular to Mn-MOF with
laccase-like activity and a preparation method and application thereof. The limitation of a
copper-based
laccase simulant is broken through. Compared with Cu < + >,
manganese has a partially-filled d
orbit structure ([Ar] 3d54s2), and can more effectively accept and contribute electrons in the
catalytic cycle process. Meanwhile,
manganese serves as hard acid and forms a stable coordination compound with a [MnO6] octahedral structure with hard alkali, so that the possibility of dissociation or
structural deformation of the catalyst in the
catalysis process is greatly reduced, and the stability of active sites is kept. In addition, the cost of
manganese is lower than that of
copper, so that Mn-MOF becomes an ideal choice for designing a high-efficiency
laccase simulant. Experiments prove that Mn-MOF has excellent laccase-like catalytic activity which is 75.87 times of that of Cu-MOF and 11.97 times of that of natural laccase. Moreover, in the process of catalytically degrading
phenol substrates, the main reduction product of O2 is H2O, the generation amount of a by-product H2O2 is extremely small (1.7%), and the high efficiency and environmental friendliness of the reaction process are ensured.
