Abstract

Carbon nanomaterials, including fullerene, carbon nanotube, graphene, carbon dots, graphene quantum dots, etc., have become a star family in materials science. Since the 1990s, fullerene and its derivatives were found to display superoxide dismutase like activity, various kinds of carbon nanomaterials have been considered as nanozymes, which could be divided into two categories, fullerene-based superoxide dismutase mimics and carbon nanotube, graphene, graphene quantum dots, or carbon dots based-peroxidase mimics. In this chapter, we first give a brief introduction to carbon nanomaterials. Then we discuss their enzymatic activity and catalytic mechanism of both superoxide dismutase and peroxidase mimics. We also focus on and investigate carbon nanomaterials which work as modulators in the nanozyme hybrid. In conclusion, we give future perspectives on carbon-based nanozymes. We hope our summary in this chapter will attract more attention from researchers in related fields and produce new breakthroughs to carbon-based nanozymes in the near future.
