Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have significant applications in nanozymes. However, previous studies have not elucidated the structure-activity relationship and enzyme mechanism. In this study, we employed a one-step microwave method to synthesize ultra-trace Ag-doped carbon quantum dots (Ag-CQDs). In the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), we used the oxidative coupling reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to evaluate the intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, kinetics, and mechanism of Ag-CQDs. The trace amount of doped Ag (1.64 %) facilitated electron transfer from the CQDs interior to the surface. The electron transfer triggered the peroxide activity of CQDs, producing hydroxyl radical (·OH), which oxidized the colorless TMB to blue-colored TMB (oxTMB). By coupling with glucose oxidase (GOx), the Ag-CQDs/H2O2/TMB system has been used for colorimetric glucose determination. The system demonstrated a low detection limit (0.17 µM), wide linear range (0.5-5.5 µM), and satisfactory results when fruit juice was analyzed. This study reports a feasible method for the colorimetric detection of glucose by synthesizing ultra-trace Ag-doped carbon quantum dots with peroxidase-mimicking activity.

Abstract
Sepsis is a lethal systemic inflammatory disease against infection that lacks effective therapeutic approaches. Liver resident macrophage Kupffer cell (KC)-initiated bacterial clearance is crucial for the host to defend against infection. However, it remains unclear whether this process also governs the antibacterial therapy of sepsis that would be used to improve therapeutic outcomes. Here, we found that copper-doped carbon dots (Cu-CDs) exhibited superior antibacterial capabilities in vitro but displayed limited therapeutic effects in septic mice due to their limited ability to target the liver and restore KC antimicrobial capacity. Thus, we developed a composite nanodrug of copper-doped carbon dot-loaded apoVs (CC-apoVs) that combined the antibacterial ability of Cu-CDs and liver KC targeting features of apoV. Moreover, intravenous injection of CC-apoVs markedly alleviated the systemic infection and decreased the mortality of septic mice compared to Cu-CD and apoV infusion alone. Mechanistically, CC-apoV injection rescued impaired liver KCs during sepsis and enhanced their ability to capture and kill bloodborne bacteria. In addition, apoV-promoted macrophage killing of bacteria could be blocked by the inhibition of small GTPase Rab5. This study reveals a liver KC-targeted therapeutic strategy for sepsis and provides a nanodrug CC-apoV to improve the host antibacterial defense and amplify the therapeutic effect of the nanodrug.

Abstract
This work reports an improved enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) via the interaction between prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) and amines for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection. The effect of different amines on the structure and properties of PBNPs was systematically investigated. Amines with pKb < 7, like ethylenediamine (EDA), can decompose structure of PBNPs, leading to the reduction of extinction coefficient and photothermal effect. Whereas, amines with large pKb > 7, such as o-phenylenediamine (OPD), could undergo catalytic oxidation by PBNPs, resulting in the production of fluorescent and colored oxidation products. Accordingly, EDA and OPD were used to construct improved ELISA. Specifically, silica nanoparticles, on which AFB1 aptamer and amino binding agent (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt, EDTA•2Na) were previously assembled via carboxyl-amino linkage, are anchored to microplates by AFB1 and antibody. EDA concentration can be regulated by EDTA•2Na to affect extinction coefficient and photothermal effect of PBNPs, thereby achieving visual colorimetric and portable photothermal signal readout (Model 1). OPD concentration can also be controlled by EDTA•2Na, thus generating colorimetric and ultrasensitive fluorescent signals through PBNPs catalysis (Model 2). The proposed strategy not only opens new avenue for signal readout mode of biosensing, but also provides universal technique for hazards.

Abstract
FeOx-TiO2@Carbon hybrid structure materials (FeOx-TiO2@CHs) with high peroxidase (POD)-like activity have been prepared by one-pot hydrothermal method. Based on the excellent POD activity of FeOx-TiO2@CHs, one pot colorimetric detection for glucose was constructed by using TMB as substrate with the synergistic reaction of glucose oxidase; the linear range and the limit of detection (LOD) are 25 ~ 1000 and 1.77 µM, respectively. Using this method, the glucose in serum real samples was detected with satisfactory results, and the results are consistent with that of the glucometer method in the hospital. The recovery in diabetic and artificial urine samples was 95.71 ~ 104.67% and 99.01 ~ 103.16%, respectively. The mechanism of the catalytic colorimetric reaction was also investigated by multiple measurements, and the results indicated that superoxide anions (O2•-) between FeOx-TiO2@CHs and substrate play a main role, but a small quantity of hydroxyl radical •OH and singlet oxygen 1O2 is also generated simultaneously. The one-pot reaction method is simple and fast; the detection process only requires a simple mixing, which is suitable for application in special environment.

Abstract
Ratiometric fluorescence carbon dots (CDs) that serve as probes have attracted more attention on account of their unique optical properties, low toxicity, anti-interference, and internal reference. However, the facile fabrication of CDs with the aim of detecting multiple targets through mutually independent response channels is always a challenge. Herein, multifunctional label-free N-doped ratiometric fluorescence CDs (N-CDs) are developed from tea leaves extract and o-phenylenediamine by a mild solvothermal method. The prepared N-CDs are tailored with nitrogen- and oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface and contribute to splendid hydrophilia. Two completely independent ratiometric fluorescence channels of N-CDs, respectively, respond to Hg2+ and H2O in a mutually independent manner. Based on the interactions of N-Hg and O-Hg, N-CDs achieve an excellently sensitive and selective detection for Hg2+ in the channel of I387 nm/I351 nm, giving a linear relationship in the range of 0-50 μM. Also, a wide range of Hg2+ concentration (0-100 μM) is linear to A374 nm through UV-vis assay. Otherwise, the linear determination of H2O content (0-30%) is realized in another channel (Igreen/Iblue). The good performance in the independent testing of Hg2+ and H2O, demonstrate that the proposed N-CDs have potential in multifunctional detection.

Abstract
Nanozymes have been relatively well explored, and bimetal-doped nanozymes have attracted much exploration due to their superior catalytic activity. We developed bimetallic FeCu/NPCs and Cu/NPCs nanozymes, which have good catalytic properties due to the coordination of Fe and Cu with N and P. The nanozymes acted as sensing elements in a cascade reaction system to effectively recognize seven terpenoids, including menthol (Men), paeoniflorin (Pae), camphor (Cam), paclitaxel (Pac), andrographolide (Andro), ginkgolide A (Gin A), and piperone (Pip). Terpenoids act as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and reduce the hydrolysis of acetylcholine (ATCh), providing insight into establishing a simple and distinct assay for terpenoids. Notably, the sensor array distinguished seven terpenoids with concentrations as low as 10 ng/mL and achieved high-precision detection of mixed samples with different molar ratios and 21 unknown samples. Finally, the sensor array successfully distinguished and identified multiple terpenoids in herbal samples.

Abstract
Cascade reactions catalyzed by natural uricase and mimic peroxidase (MPOD) have been applied for uric acid (UA) detection. However, the optimal catalytic activity of MPOD is mostly in acidic conditions (pH 2-5), mismatching the optimal catalytic alkaline environment of uricase. In this paper, using CuSO4 and urea as raw materials, a MPOD with high catalytic activity in alkaline environment was synthesized by hydrothermal method. Then, based on coupling reaction of uricase/UA/MPOD/guaiacol (GA) system, a novel spectrophotometric method was established to detect 5-60 μmol/L UA (limit of detection = 3.14 μmol/L (S/N = 3)) and accurately quantified serum UA (275.6 ± 39.9 μmol/L, n = 5) with 95-105% of standard addition recovery. The results were consistent with commercial UA kit (p > 0.05). The MPOD could replace natural POD to reduce the cost of UA detection due to simple preparation and cheap raw materials, and is expected to achieve the specific detection of some substances, like glucose and cholesterol, combined with glucose oxidase and cholesterol oxidase.

Abstract
Oral infectious diseases and tooth staining, the main challenges of dental healthcare, are inextricably linked to microbial colonization and the formation of pathogenic biofilms. However, dentistry has so far still lacked simple, safe, and universal prophylactic options and therapy. Here, we report copper-doped carbon dots (Cu-CDs) that display enhanced catalytic (catalase-like, peroxidase-like) activity in the oral environment for inhibiting initial bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) adhesion and for subsequent biofilm eradication without impacting the surrounding oral tissues via oxygen (O2) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Especially, Cu-CDs exhibit strong affinity for lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and peptidoglycans (PGN), thus conferring them with excellent antibacterial ability against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), such that they can prevent wound purulent infection and promoting rapid wound healing. Additionally, the Cu-CDs/H2O2 system shows a better performance in tooth whitening, compared with results obtained with other alternatives, e.g., CDs and clinically used H2O2, particularly its negligible enamel and dentin destruction. It is anticipated that the biocompatible Cu-CDs presented in this work are a promising nano-mouthwash for eliminating oral pathogenic biofilms, prompting wound healing as well as tooth whitening, highlighting their significance in oral health management.

Abstract
A universal ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform for detecting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and related metabolites in human fluid was constructed based on iron and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Fe/N-CDs). As a fluorescent nanomaterial with peroxidase-like property, Fe/N-CDs emits fluorescence at 449 nm (F449) under excitation of incident ultraviolet light, and can catalyze the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) by H2O2 for generating 2,3-diaminophenazine (oxOPD) that exhibits obvious absorption at 420 nm (A420) and fluorescence emission at 555 nm (F555). The Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between Fe/N-CDs and oxOPD would result in the fluorescence quenching Fe/N-CDs and the fluorescence enhancement of oxOPD, which facilitates the quantitation of oxOPD by ratiometric fluorometry. Since the amount of generated oxOPD is determined by the amount of H2O2 consumed during the oxidation reaction, the detection of H2O2 and related metabolites can be realized by monitoring both ratiometric fluorescent (F555/F449) and colorimetric (absorption, A420) signals of oxOPD. This dual-mode sensing platform exhibits excellent selectivity and sensitivity toward with H2O2, xanthine and uric acid in both human serum and urine samples, demonstrating its good potential for monitoring H2O2 and metabolites involved in H2O2 metabolism in human body. The detection limits (LODs) of H2O2, xanthine and uric acid obtained by this sensing platform were 0.07, 0.15, and 0.14 μM for ratiometric fluorescence mode, and 0.12, 0.52, and 0.47 μM for colorimetric mode, respectively. By utilizing appropriate oxidases in this universal sensing platform, the determination of other metabolites involved with producing H2O2 can also be realized facilely.

Abstract
Water polluted with dyes has become a serious global concern during the twenty-first century, especially for developing countries. Such types of environmental contaminant pose a severe threat to biodiversity, ecosystems, and human health globally; therefore, its treatment is an utmost requirement. Advanced technologies including the use of nanomaterials represent a promising water treatment technology with high efficiencies, low production costs, and green synthesis. Among the nanomaterials, carbon dots, as a new class of carbon-based nanoparticles, have attracted attention due to their unique features and advantages over other nanomaterials, which include high water solubility, easy fabrication and surface functionalisation, excellent electron-donating ability, and low toxicity. Such properties make carbon dots potential nanocatalysts for the Fenton-like degradation of environmental pollutants in water. Although recent studies show that carbon dots can successfully catalyse the degradation of dyes, there are still limited and controversial studies on the ecotoxicity and fate of these nanoparticles in the environment. In this review, the authors aim to summarise the recent research advances in water remediation by technologies using carbon dots, discuss important properties and factors for optimised catalytic remediation, and provide critical analysis of ecotoxicity issues and the environmental fate of these nanoparticles.

Abstract
Metal aerogels represent an emerging type of functional porous materials with promising applications in diverse fields, but the fabrication of metal aerogels with specific structure and property still remains a challenge. Here, the authors report a new approach to fabricate metal aerogels by using ultrasmall metal nanoclusters (NCs) as functional building blocks. By taking D-penicillamine-stabilized gold NCs (AuNCs) with a diameter of 1.4 nm as an example, Au aerogels with ultrafine ligament size (3.5 nm) and good enzyme-mimic properties are synthesized. Detailed characterization shows that the obtained Au aerogels possess typical 3D self-supported porous network structure with high gold purity and surface area. Time-lapse spectroscopic and microscopic monitoring of the gelation process reveal that these ultrasmall AuNCs first grow into large nanoparticles before fusion into nanowire networks, during which both pH and the precursor concentration are identified to be the determining factor. Owing to their highly porous structure and abundant metal nodes, these self-supported Au aerogels display excellent peroxidase-like properties. This work provides a strategy for fabricating advanced metal aerogels by taking ultrasmall-sized metal NCs as building blocks, which also opens new avenues for engineering the structure and properties of metal aerogels for further advancing their applications.

Abstract
Herein a nano-scale bimetallic Fe/Eu-MOF with a regular octahedral structure was synthesized for the first time. The synthesized Fe/Eu-MOF has both peroxidase-like activity and fluorescence properties. Fe/Eu-MOF can catalyze H2O2 to oxidize the chromogenic substrate TMB to produce blue oxTMB, which has ultraviolet absorption at 652 nm. Unexpectedly, the generated oxTMB can effectively quench the fluorescence of the catalyst Fe/Eu-MOF at 450 nm. The quenching mechanism is mainly the internal filtration effect (IFE), accompanied by static quenching (SQE), Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and photoelectron transfer (PET). Fe/Eu-MOF has a high affinity for sodium pyrophosphate (PPi). PPi can be adsorbed to the surface of Fe/Eu-MOF, destroying the structure of Fe/Eu-MOF and inhibiting its catalytic activity, resulting in a decrease in UV absorbance and the decline of fluorescence quenching. In contrast, phosphoric acid (Pi) has almost no effect on the reaction system. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can catalyze the hydrolysis of PPi to Pi, thereby reducing the inhibitory effect of PPi. Based on this, we successfully constructed a dual-mode ALP sensor with high selectivity. The linear ranges based on the 652 nm absorption or the fluorescence detection are from 1 to 200 U/L, and the detection limits are 0.6 for the absorption method and 0.9 U/L for the fluorescence method, respectively.

Abstract
Herein, cobalt and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Co-N-CDs) were fabricated via a one-pot hydrothermal approach. The obtained Co-N-CDs displayed peroxidase-like activity and fluorescence properties. It could catalyze the oxidization of guaiacol (GA) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and thus, resulted in color change, accompanied by a new absorption peak in 470 nm. Owing to the inner filter effect, the oxidized product of GA (known as 2-PQ) largely absorbed the Co-N-CD fluorescence which was excited at 380 nm. Such changes in absorbance and fluorescence intensity were H2O2 concentration-dependent. Specifically, H2O2 could be generated by glucose oxidase to catalyze the oxidation of glucose, and thus, a colorimetric and fluorimetric sensor for glucose was established with high selectivity and excellent sensitivity. After the optimization of experimental conditions, this colorimetric sensor has a good linear range from 2 to 100 μM for glucose and the detection limit was 1.16 μM. Besides, the linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching value (ΔF) and the glucose concentration (0.4-40 μM) was obtained with a detection limit of 0.18 μM. Meanwhile, the proposed sensor has also been successfully applied for glucose detection in human serum samples, and the results were consistent with those of the standard method.

Abstract
Herein, a simple and facile one-step hydrothermal carbonization synthesis procedure for the fabrication of N, Cu-doped carbon quantum dots (N, Cu-CQDs) as a peroxidase-mimicking enzyme was reported. The peroxidase-like performance of N, Cu-CQDs was assessed based on the oxidative coupling reaction of phenol with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The N, Cu-CQDs/4-AAP/H2O2 system was applied to sensing phenol based on double signals of absorption spectra (or colorimetric visualization) as well as fluorescence spectra. The obtained limits of detection (LODs) were as low as 0.12 μM and 0.02 μM, respectively. Moreover, the proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of phenol in sewage with satisfactory recovery. Our results demonstrate that the N, Cu-CQDs/4-AAP/H2O2/phenol sensing system has a great potential prospect for applications in environmental chemistry and biotechnology.

Abstract
A chemiluminescence (CL) assay on the basis of the tremendous enhancing effect of copper and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Cu,N-CDs) on the luminol-NaIO4 reaction was introduced for the determination of nanomolar levels of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Cu,N-CDs were synthesized by a hydrothermal approach and characterized by TEM, XRD, EDX, and FTIR analysis. The potential CL mechanism was elucidated by recording the CL spectrum and by evaluating the influence of reactive oxygen species. It was found that 4-NP remarkably inhibited the luminol-NaIO4-Cu,N-CDs reaction and reduced the CL signal of the reaction. This fact was applied for developing a CL assay for 4-NP. Under the optimized conditions, 4-NP could be determined in the concentration range of 0.25 to 150 nM, with a detection limit as low as 0.06 nM. This assay was successfully exploited for the analysis of 4-NP in real environmental samples.

Bacterial infection-related diseases have been growing year-by-year rapidly and raising health problems globally. The exploitation of novel, high efficiency, and bacteria-binding antibacterial agents are extremely need. As far as now, the most extensive treatment is restricted to antibiotics, which may be overused and misused, leading to increased multidrug resistance. Antibiotics abuse, as well as antibiotic-resistance of bacteria, is a global challenge in the current situation. It is highly recommended and necessary to develop novel bactericide to kill the bacteria effectively without causing further resistance development and biosafety issues. Nanozymes, inorganic nanostructures with intrinsic enzymatic activities, have attracted more and more interest from the researchers owing to their exceptional advantages. Compared to natural enzymes, nanozymes can destroy many Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, which builds an important bridge between biology and nanotechnology. As the potent nanoantibiotics, nanozymes have exciting broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties and negligible biotoxicities. And we summarized and highlighted the recent advances on nanozymes including its antibacterial mechanism and applications. Finally, challenges and limitations for the further improvement of the antibacterial activity are covered to provide future directions for the use of engineered nanozymes with enhanced antibacterial function.
