Article Abstract
The work describes a carbon-based peroxidase mimic, N- and B-codoped reduced graphene oxide (NB-rGO), which shows high peroxidase-like activity without oxidase-like activity and has a catalytic efficiency nearly 1000-fold higher than that of undoped rGO. The high catalytic activity of NB-rGO is explained by density functional theory by calculating Gibbs free energy change during the peroxide decomposition reaction. Acetylcholine and C-reactive protein are successfully quantified with high sensitivity and selectivity, which were comparable to or better than those obtained using natural peroxidase. Furthermore, NB-rGO, which does not have oxidase-like activity, is proven to have higher sensitivity toward acetylcholine than Pt nanoparticles having oxidase-like activity. This work will facilitate studies on development, theoretical analysis for rational design, and bioassay applications of enzyme mimics based on nanomaterials.

Current colorimetric sensing arrays for antioxidant detection often struggle with discrimination due to cross-reactive signals from individual nanozymes. These signals are typically modulated by external factors such as pH or chromogenic substrates, offering limited kinetic and mechanistic diversity. To overcome this, we present a novel triple-channel colorimetric sensing array utilizing two distinct single-atom nanozymes (Cu SA and Fe SA) and one dual-atom nanozyme (CuFe DA).

N-doped carbon nanomaterials (NCMs) have attracted significant interest as metal-free nanozymes for sensing due to their exceptional stability and biocompatibility. However, the controversial active sites and catalytic pathways severely hinder the application of NCM-based nanozymes. Here, postsynthetic modification methods have been developed to study the catalytic mechanism, including selective deactivation, chemical grafting, and surface doping.

Emerging nanomedicines that target and disrupt redox homeostasis present a compelling yet technically demanding strategy for cancer therapy. Herein, a multifunctional oxidative stress amplifier, denoted as C-COF@MnO-BSA-FA/Ce6 (CMBFC), was engineered to disrupt redox homeostasis through synergistic mechanisms precisely. The nanoplatform was constructed with a core of N-doped carbon nanospheres derived from covalent organic frameworks (C-COF), which was then coated by an in situ mineralized MnO layer.

Manganese-based nanozymes have shown great potential in sensor construction. However, building manganese-based nanozymes with high oxidase-like activity under mild preparation conditions remains challenging. Herein, for the first time it has been proposed a simple strategy using ethylenediamine to synthesize a amorphous/crystalline hetero-phase nanozyme (B-MnO-EDA) by avoiding harsh conditions.

Tetracycline residues in food pose risks to human health and contribute to antibiotic resistance, thereby requiring sensitive detection methods. This study developed a fluorescence sensor using a single-atom CoNC nanozyme, which was synthesized via pyrolysis of a cobalt phthalocyanine-encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 precursor (CoPc@ZIF-8). This strategy directly converted the pre-organized CoN macrocyclic structure of CoPc into atomically dispersed CoNC sites, exhibiting exceptional oxidase-like activity with 20-fold higher specific activity than its cobalt nitrate-derived counterpart.
