Enhanced luminol–O₂ chemiluminescence reaction by CuO nanoparticles as oxidase mimics and its application for determination of ceftazidime

Abstract

A cursory survey of the literature shows that although peroxidase-like activity is a well-known and well-applied property of CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs), the oxidase-like activity of CuO NPs is a property that is somehow neglected to be incorporated in analytical applications.
