Abstract

Over the past few decades, studies have focused on nanomaterials with enzyme-like features (nanozymes) as simple, stable, high-performance alternatives to natural enzymes in a wide range of implementations. A variety of inorganic nanomaterials including Cd, carbon based nanomaterials, CeO 2 , Co 3 O 4 , CuO, Au, Fe, Mn, Pd, Pt, SiO 2 , Ag, VO 2 , and Zn NPs have been considerably used to mimic the activity of naturally occurring enzymes. These nanomaterials have shown to mimic extensively enzyme-like activities, and great progresses have been made in these systems due to the enormous development in nano-research and the distinctive properties of nanomaterials. To accentuate the growth in the field of nanozymes, this review considers different inorganic nanomaterials that have been investigated to mimic peroxidase-like enzyme in biological, chemical and medical applications. We discuss regarding the kinetics, mechanisms and applications of peroxidase-like nanozymes. Finally, we will discuss regarding the different parameters that influence the catalytic activity of nanozymes and focus on the current challenges and future outcomes. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
