contents Laccase is a natural green catalyst and utilized in pollution treatment. Nevertheless, its practical application is constrained by limitations including high cost, poor stability, and difficulties in recovery. Herein, with inspiration from catalytic mechanism of natural laccase, we designed and prepared a bimetallic metal-organic framework, namely, CoNi-MOF, using low-temperature plasma (LTP) technology. We employed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma to prepare CoNi-MOF, and by precisely modulating the N2/O2 gas ratio, we could modulate the distribution concentration of oxygen vacancies in CoNi-MOF. Experimental investigations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidated that the critical role of the oxygen vacancies in enhancing the laccase-like activity, which promoted the activation of molecular oxygen (O2) for generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Compared to natural laccase, CoNi-MOF exhibited superior catalytic performance in the degradation of antibiotic tetracycline (TC), along with enhanced resistance to harsh environmental conditions, improved stability, and low biotoxicity. Notably, aeration increased the dissolved oxygen (DO) content, further improving the TC degradation efficiency. As such, this study not only proposes a facile and efficient low-temperature plasma technology for synthesizing high-performance laccase-like nanozymes but also provides a promising and environmentally friendly strategy for the remediation of antibiotic contamination in the environment.
