Abstract

concentration effects, highlighting its intrinsic oxidase-like activity. While this preliminary study demonstrates a proof-of-concept for MnFeAC as an oxidase mimic for catechol detection, further optimization of nanomaterial composition, reaction conditions, and assay design is needed to improve detection limits and extend the method to broader classes of phenolic pollutants. These findings provide a foundation for developing hybrid aminoclay-based nanozymes as safe and effective sensing platforms for environmental monitoring applications.
