Nanozymes: Preparation and Characterization

Abstract

To rationally design high-performance nanozymes and to explore their broad applications, it is critical to develop effective methods to prepare the designed nanozymes and to fully characterize the as-prepared nanozymes. First, numerous methods for preparing nanozymes are discussed in this chapter, which include hydrothermal method, solvothermal method, co-precipitation method, sol-gel method, oil-phase methods, etc. Then, characterization techniques for nanozymes are discussed, which cover general techniques for nanomaterials characterization as well as special techniques for studying nanozyme kinetics, catalytic mechanisms, and interactions in biological systems.
