Nanozyme: A promising tool from clinical diagnosis and environmental monitoring to wastewater treatment

However, they face inevitable problems such as relatively high cost and lack of stability, dramatically hindering their practical applications in the industry. Recently, a class of nanomaterial that possesses intrinsic enzyme-like properties, nanozyme, has emerged exhibiting numerous advantages over its natural counterpart and has been used as a viable enzyme alternative.

In the past decade there are many reviews on nanozyme. The previous discussions tend to view nanozyme as a type of nanomaterial rather than an enzyme. However, it is the enzyme-like activity of nanozymes that provides foundation for their application and nanozymes with the same enzymatic activity usually have some regularity in application.
