Nanozymes represent a new generation of artificial enzymes that provide a way to perform biological catalysis using nanomaterials.In 2007, Yan and co-workers discovered for the first time that ferromagnetic nanoparticles exhibited peroxidase-like activity, [1] which paved the way for the development of nanozymes.In 2013, Wei and Wang used the term "nanozymes" to define nanomaterials with enzyme-like properties as next generation artificial enzymes.[2] Owing to their unique features, including high activity, high stability, tunability of activity, multifunctionality, and low cost for scale-up, nanozymes have attracted great attention compared to enzymes, traditional enzyme mimics, and common nanomaterials.In the past 16 years, nanozymes have become an emerging interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology, catalysis and biomedicine.To date, more than 420 laboratories from 42 countries have reported over 1200 types of nanozymes and published over 10 000 papers [3] (see Figure 1).Now, nanozymes can be rationally designed instead of being produced by trial-and-error.Excitingly, some nanozymes show comparable or even better catalytic performance compared to their nature counterparts.Consequently, nanozymes have shown great potential in the fields of functional nanomaterials, biomedicine, new energy, green synthesis, environmental treatment, etc. Nanozymes were selected in the Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) in...
