Applications

Nanozymes, as a new and promising artificial enzyme, have attracted widespread attention in the past decade due to their significant advantages over natural and traditional artificial enzymes, such as high catalytic activity, low cost, ease of large-scale production, and high stability. Researchers are not limited to studying the performance and catalytic ability of nanozymes. They are committed to a deeper understanding of nanozymes and exploring their complex applications. Today, the application range of nanozymes cover biosensing, antioxidation, cancer treatment, antibacterial agents, environmental treatment and other novel applications such as bioimaging, food detection, antithrombosis, individual living cell encapsulation, UV-protective sunscreens, etc.

Biosensing

Nanozymes are used for the detection of metal ions, nucleic acids, proteins and some important biological target molecules.

Antioxidation

Nanozymes have been developed for antioxidant applications such as cytoprotection, treating inflammation, treating Alzheimer's disease, etc.

Cancer Treatment

The intrinsic catalytic activity, biological safety and photothermal performance of nanozymes enables their use in cancer treatment.

Antibacterial Agents

Nanozymes have been discovered to exert antimicrobial nature, and are good alternatives to traditional antibacterial agents.

Environmental Treatment

Nanozymes have shown huge potential in the environmental treatment. They can catalyze the degradation of organic pollutants, chemical warfare agents, etc.

Other Novel Applications

Nanozymes can also be used for other novel applications such as bioimaging, food detection, antithrombosis, individual living cell encapsulation, etc.
