tetracycline and ferric-ferrocyanide

As a typical antibiotic pollutant, tetracycline (TC) is producing increasing threats to the ecosystem and human health, and exploring convenient means for monitoring of TC is needed. Here, we proposed alkali-etched imprinted Mn-based Prussian blue analogues featuring superior oxidase-mimetic activity and precise recognition for the colorimetric sensing of TC. Simply etching Mn-based Prussian blue analogues (Mn-PBAs) with NaOH could expose the sites and surfaces to significantly improve their catalytic activity. Density functional theory calculations were employed to screen the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layer for target identification. Consequently, the designed Mn-PBA
