Multiwalled carbon nanotube@reduced graphene oxide nanoribbon heterostructure: synthesis, intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activity, and its application in colorimetric biosensing

and 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine than that of horseradish peroxidase. On this basis, we have employed the MWCNT@rGONR heterostructures as novel biosensing platforms to develop a simple, sensitive, and selective colorimetric biosensor for free cholesterol determination. This work will facilitate the formation of MWCNT@rGONR heterostructures with narrow ribbons and the utilization of their intrinsic peroxidase-like activity in biotechnology and medical diagnostics.
