Advancements in organic materials-based nanozymes for broader applications

Abstract

Nanozymes and their constituent substances have primarily relied on inorganic materials. However, researchers now use organic compounds as base materials to create new nanozymes. This review article comprehensively addresses the advent of organic-material-based nanozymes (organic nanozymes) and their broader applications beyond the traditional biomedical and chemical disciplines. It explores the ability of organic nanozymes to address key obstacles of inorganic nanozymes, demonstrating examples and highlighting advancements. The potential impacts and the enhanced capability of organic nanozymes for broader and sustainable applications are succinctly highlighted, and how organic nanozymes will be actively utilized across various domains is envisioned.
