description MoS<sub>2</sub> quantum dots (QDs) functionalized g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> nanosheets (MoS<sub>2</sub>@CNNS) were prepared through a protonation-assisted ion exchange method, which were developed as a highly efficient biomimetic catalyst. Structural analysis revealed that uniformly-dispersed MoS<sub>2</sub> QDs with controllable size and different loading amount grew in-situ on the surface of CNNS, forming close-contact MoS<sub>2</sub>@CNNS nanostructures and exhibiting distinct surface properties. Compared to MoS<sub>2</sub> QDs and CNNS, the MoS<sub>2</sub>@CNNS nanocomposites exhibited a more than four times stronger peroxidase-like catalytic activity, which could catalyze the oxidation of 3,3&#8217;,5,5&#8217;-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> to generate a blue oxide. Among the MoS<sub>2</sub>@CNNS nanocomposites, MoS<sub>2</sub>@CNNS(30) was verified to present the best intrinsic peroxidase-like performance, which could be attributed to the more negative potential and larger specific surface area. A simple, rapid and ultrasensitive system for colorimetric detection of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> was thus successfully established based on MoS<sub>2</sub>@CNNS, displaying nice selectivity, reusability, and stability. The detection limit of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> could reach as low as 0.02 &#956;M. Furthermore, the kinetic and active species trapping experiments indicated the peroxidase-like catalytic mechanism of MoS<sub>2</sub>@CNNS. This work develops a novel, rapid, and ultrasensitive approach for visual assay of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, which has a potential application prospect on clinical diagnosis and biomedical analysis.
