Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nanozymes are demonstrating a key enabling role in the field of imitating new enzymatic activities with high-performance nanomaterials, regulating nanozyme activities, elucidating catalytic mechanisms, and broadening potential applications. The unique physicochemical properties of nanomaterials not only endow nanozymes with multiple functionalities but also provide more possibilities for rational design and future applications. The Special Issue will provide a forum for the latest research activities in the field of nanozymes and their applications. Both review articles and original research papers are solicited for, though not limited to, the following areas:

  • Novel concepts of nanozyme chemosensors;
  • New operating principles for nanozyme chemosensors;
  • Enabling technologies of nanozyme chemosensors;
  • New materials for bio-integrated nanozyme chemosensors;
  • Emerging applications of nanozyme chemosensors;
  • Sensor networks based on nanozyme chemosensors;
  • Enabling role of nanozyme chemosensors in the field of digital health.

Single-atom nanozymes, with their atomically dispersed metal active sites, distinctive atom utilization rate, and tunable electronic structure, demonstrate great promise in the field of sensing analysis. This paper reviews the latest research progress on single-atom nanozymes in sensing applications. We classify single-atom nanozymes based on both their structural characteristics, such as carbon-based carriers, frameworks and their derivatives, metal oxides, metal sulfides, and organic polymer carriers, and their unique catalytic properties, including peroxidase, oxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and multi-enzyme mimetic activities. Furthermore, we discuss the application of single-atom nanozymes in the sensitive detection of biological small molecules, antioxidants, ions, enzyme activities and their inhibitors, as well as cells and viruses. Finally, we highlight the opportunities and challenges for advancing the practical application and further research of single-atom nanozymes in the field of sensing analysis. Full article
