Description

Fan, Wei, and Yan introduce in 2026 a special issue on nanozymes, engineered nanomaterials that act like enzymes. After nearly two decades of growth, the field now stretches across chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine.

The issue gathers 40 papers from research groups worldwide. Themes include sharpening catalytic performance, sensing, environmental cleanup, and therapies that fight oxidation, infection, or immune imbalance. The editors highlight several directions. One is tuning the small molecules attached to carbon dot iron nanozymes to control two enzyme-like activities at once. Another is a cerium nanozyme built on renewable lignin that stayed stable when heated and broke up bacterial biofilms. A third is an iron framework grown directly on a 3D-printed metal support to make a reusable glucose sensor. Together, the collection shows design shifting from discovering activity to engineering it deliberately.
