Rational Construction of Light‐Enzyme Hybrid System Driving Interfacial Electrons for Selective Degradation of Bisphenol A: Controlled Immobilization Strategy and Synergistic Catalytic Mechanism

ABSTRACT Conventional enzyme immobilization often blocks active sites and disrupts electron transfer due to random binding. Here, a rational interface engineering strategy for laccase immobilization is reported. Laccase (LaC) is anchored onto amino/hydroxyl‐functionalized mesoporous carbon spheres (MCS) to form LaC‑MCS. Then, a hydrogen‑bonded organic framework (HOF‑101) shell is grown in situ to yield a core–shell photoenzyme hybrid (LaC‑MCS@HOF). The bifunctional MCS core provides rigid anchoring and flexible stabilization, maximizing active‑site exposure. The HOF shell selectively enriches bisphenol A (BPA) by 52.1% via static adsorption, and under light irradiation, photogenerated electrons are directionally injected into the T1 copper center of laccase, accelerating the rate‑limiting enzymatic cycle. The hybrid achieves 90.3% BPA degradation in light (75.1% in dark), with a 3.7‑fold activity enhancement over free laccase. Electron paramagnetic resonance confirms a cooperative multi‑ROS pathway (·O 2 − and ·OH). The system maintains >86.2% efficiency after 90 days (360 cycles) in a double‑straight‑channel microfluidic reactor. The platform's universality is demonstrated by immobilizing catalase and horseradish peroxidase, achieving >98.3% degradation within 30 min. This work provides a new conceptual framework for designing photoenzyme hybrids with interfacial electron transfer, selective enrichment, and exceptional stability for environmental remediation.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Conventional enzyme immobilization often blocks active sites and disrupts electron transfer due to random binding. Here, a rational interface engineering strategy for laccase immobilization is reported. Laccase (LaC) is anchored onto amino/hydroxyl‐functionalized mesoporous carbon spheres (MCS) to form LaC‑MCS. Then, a hydrogen‑bonded organic framework (HOF‑101) shell is grown in situ to yield a core–shell photoenzyme hybrid (LaC‑MCS@HOF). The bifunctional MCS core provides rigid anchoring and flexible stabilization, maximizing active‑site exposure. The HOF shell selectively enriches bisphenol A (BPA) by 52.1% via static adsorption, and under light irradiation, photogenerated electrons are directionally injected into the T1 copper center of laccase, accelerating the rate‑limiting enzymatic cycle. The hybrid achieves 90.3% BPA degradation in light (75.1% in dark), with a 3.7‑fold activity enhancement over free laccase. Electron paramagnetic resonance confirms a cooperative multi‑ROS pathway (·O 2 − and ·OH). The system maintains >86.2% efficiency after 90 days (360 cycles) in a double‑straight‑channel microfluidic reactor. The platform's universality is demonstrated by immobilizing catalase and horseradish peroxidase, achieving >98.3% degradation within 30 min. This work provides a new conceptual framework for designing photoenzyme hybrids with interfacial electron transfer, selective enrichment, and exceptional stability for environmental remediation.
