Abstract
Nanozyme is a class of nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like characteristics that can be used as an enzyme substitute to address the limitations of natural enzymes and conventional artificial enzymes. Since the first evidence published in 2007, nanozyme has from a new concept to new materials, new technologies, and new applications achieved great progress. Today, nanozymology is becoming an emerging field bridging nanotechnology and enzymology.
