Article Abstract

Plants such as herbs, vegetables, fruits, and cereals are closely related to human life. Developing effective testing methods to ensure their safety and quantify their active components are of significant importance. Recently, nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity (known as nanozymes) have been widely developed in various assays, including colorimetric, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and electrochemical analysis. This review presents the latest advances in analyzing phytochemicals and hazardous substances in plant samples based on nanozymes, including some active ingredients, organophosphorus pesticides, heavy metal ions, and mycotoxins. Additionally, the current shortcomings and challenges of the actual sample analysis were discussed.

A novel dual-mode sensing system integrating a magnetic core-shell CuFeO/Cu/MnO nanozyme with a stimuli-responsive agarose-deep eutectic solvent hydrogel (DES-Aga) is reported. The nanozyme exhibits exceptional oxidase-like activity, characterized by a low Michaelis constant (K = 0.14 mM) and high catalytic efficiency (V = 1.

Mesoporous metal nanomaterials (MMNs) have gained interest in biomedicine for their unique properties, but their potential is limited by the predominance of spherical shapes and the neglect of morphological effects on biological activity, which hinders the reasonable evaluation of morphology-dependent enzyme-like activities and biological behaviors and its further biomedical applications. It is therefore imperative to find an effective and facile method to design and prepare MMNs with novel, well-defined morphologies. Herein, we fabricated 3 mesoporous platinum nanoenzymes including sphere, rod, and bipyramid topologies [Au@mesoPt sphere, Au@mesoPt rod, and Au@mesoPt bipyramid nanoparticles (NPs), respectively] via a facile atomic layer deposition method using gold NPs (Au NPs) as the templated cores and Pluronic F127 as a structure-directing agent.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is a key signaling molecule in tumor progression, making its real-time detection vital for elucidating the complex mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis. Herein, we report a rationally colorimetric sensing platform for rapid tumor screening, leveraging the bifunctional enzyme-like activity of a heterostructured h-NiO/CoO/C nanosphere. Notably, by activating electron structure reconstruction with abundant oxygen vacancies and utilizing a dual-non-precious-metal method, h-NiO/CoO/C nanosphere enhances catalytic performance beyond the limitations of single-non-precious-metal-doped nanomaterials (e.

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.
