Nitrogen-functionalization is an effective means of improving the catalytic performances of nanozymes. In the present work, plasma-assisted nitrogen modification of nanocolumnar Ni GLAD films was performed using an ammonia plasma, resulting in an improvement in the peroxidase-like catalytic performance of the porous, nanostructured Ni films. The plasma-treated nanozymes were characterized by TEM, SEM, XRD, and XPS, revealing a nitrogen-rich surface composition. Increased surface wettability was observed after ammonia plasma treatment, and the resulting nitrogen-functionalized Ni GLAD films presented dramatically enhanced peroxidase-like catalytic activity. The optimal time for plasma treatment was determined to be 120 s; when used to catalyze the oxidation of the colorimetric substrate TMB in the presence of H2O2, Ni films subjected to 120 s of plasma treatment yielded a much higher maximum reaction velocity (3.7⊆10−8 M/s vs. 2.3⊆10−8 M/s) and lower Michaelis-Menten coefficient (0.17 mM vs. 0.23 mM) than pristine Ni films with the same morphology. Additionally, we demonstrate the application of the nanozyme in a gravity-driven, continuous catalytic reaction device. Such a controllable plasma treatment strategy may open a new door toward surface-functionalized nanozymes with improved catalytic performance and potential applications in flow-driven point-of-care devices.

In order to improve the surface hydrophilicity and the resistance to protein deposition of fluorosilicone acrylate RGP (rigid gas permeable) contact lens, low temperature ammonia plasma treatment was used to modify the lens surface. The changes of surface structures and properties were characterized by contact angle analyzer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Effects of exposure time and plasma generating power on surface properties of the RGP contact lens were investigated. The surface contact angle measurements showed a great improvement of hydrophilicity after plasma treatment. XPS analysis indicated that the oxygen content and the nitrogen content increased remarkably after ammonia plasma treatment. Furthermore, the content of the hydrophilic group O-C=O/N-C=O on the surface increased and the content of the hydrophobic group CF2 decreased after plasma treatment. AFM results showed that ammonia plasma could lead to surface etching.
