Abstract
We present the preparation of CoCu bimetallic nanoclusters (Co@Cu-BNCs) by a hydrothermal and one-step pyrolysis method to build a colorimetric and electrochemical dual-mode sensing platform for uric acid (UA) detection. In the presence of H2O2, Co@Cu-BNCs with peroxidase-mimicking activity may convert colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue-colored oxidized TMB (oxTMB). However, due to the inhibitory effect of uric acid (UA) on the oxidation process of TMB, the characteristic absorption peak intensity of oxTMB decreased when UA was added into a mixed solution. In this approach, a colorimetric assay platform for the detection of UA was demonstrated, with a linear range of 0.1-195 μM and a low limit of detection of 0.06 μM (S/N ratio of 3). In addition, an even wider detection range is achieved in the electrochemical method, due to the pronounced electrocatalytic activity of Co@Cu-BNCs. The surface of the glassy carbon electrode was modified with Co@Cu-BNCs to build an electrochemical sensor for detecting UA. The sensor achieves a wider linear range from 2 to 1000 μM and a limit of detection of 0.61 μM (S/N ratio of 3). Moreover, the detection of UA in a human serum sample showed satisfactory results. The results proved that the colorimetric and electrochemical dual-mode detection platform was sensitive, convenient and accurate.

Abstract
Natural enzymes are crucial in biological systems and widely used in biology and medicine, but their disadvantages, such as insufficient stability and high-cost, have limited their wide application. Since Fe3O4 nanoparticles were found to show peroxidase-like activity, researchers have designed and developed a growing number of nanozymes that mimic the activity of natural enzymes. Nanozymes can compensate for the defects of natural enzymes and show higher stability with lower cost. Iron, a nontoxic and low-cost transition metal, has been used to synthesize a variety of iron-based nanozymes with unique structural and physicochemical properties to obtain different enzymes mimicking catalytic properties. In this perspective, catalytic mechanisms, activity modulation, and their recent research progress in sensing, tumor therapy, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory applications are systematically presented. The challenges and perspectives on the development of iron-based nanozymes are also analyzed and discussed.

Abstract
Nanozymes exhibit their great potential as alternatives to natural enzymes. In addition to catalytic activity, nanozymes also need to have biologically relevant catalytic reactions at physiological pH to fit in the definition of an enzyme and to achieve efficient analytical applications. Previous reviews in the nanozyme field mainly focused on the catalytic mechanisms, activity regulation, and types of catalytic reactions. In this paper, we discuss efforts made on the substrate-dependent catalytic activity of nanozymes at neutral pH. First, the discrepant catalytic activities for different substrates are compared, where the key differences are the characteristics of substrates and the adsorption of substrates by nanozymes at different pH. We then reviewed efforts to enhance reaction activity for model chromogenic substrates and strategies to engineer nanomaterials to accelerate reaction rates for other substrates at physiological pH. Finally, we also discussed methods to achieve efficient sensing applications at neutral pH using nanozymes. We believe that the nanozyme is catching up with enzymes rapidly in terms of reaction rates and reaction conditions. Designing nanozymes with specific catalysis for efficient sensing remains a challenge.

Abstract
The proliferation and transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or the (COVID-19) disease, has become a threat to worldwide biosecurity. Therefore, early diagnosis of COVID-19 is crucial to combat the ongoing infection spread. In this study we propose a flexible aptamer-based electrochemical sensor for the rapid, label-free detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SP). A platform made of a porous and flexible carbon cloth, coated with gold nanoparticles, to increase the conductivity and electrochemical performance of the material, was assembled with a thiol functionalized DNA aptamer via S-Au bonds, for the selective recognition of the SARS-CoV-2 SP. The various steps for the sensor preparation were followed by using scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The proposed platform displayed good mechanical stability, revealing negligible changes on voltammetric responses to bending at various angles. Quantification of SARS-CoV-2 SP was performed by DPV and chronopotentiometry (CP), exploiting the changes of the electrical signals due the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox probe, when SARS-CoV-2 SP binds to the aptamer immobilized on the electrode surface. Current density, in DPV, and square root of the transition time, in CP, varied linearly with the log[ SARS-CoV-2 SP], providing lower limits of detection (LOD) of 0.11 ng/mL and 37.8 ng/mL, respectively. The sensor displayed good selectivity, repeatability, and was tested in diluted human saliva, spiked with different SARS-CoV-2 SP concentrations, providing LODs of 0.167 ng/mL and 46.2 ng/mL for DPV and CP, respectively.

Abstract
Diabetes-related chronic wounds are often accompanied by a poor wound-healing environment such as high glucose, recurrent infections, and inflammation, and standard wound treatments are fairly limited in their ability to heal these wounds. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed to improve therapeutic outcomes due to their ease of engineering, surface functionalization, and therapeutic properties. In this review, we summarize the different synthesis methods of MOFs and conduct a comprehensive review of the latest research progress of MOFs in the treatment of diabetes and its wounds. State-of-the-art in vivo oral hypoglycemic strategies and the in vitro diagnosis of diabetes are enumerated and different antimicrobial strategies (including physical contact, oxidative stress, photothermal, and related ions or ligands) and provascular strategies for the treatment of diabetic wounds are compared. It focuses on the connections and differences between different applications of MOFs as well as possible directions for improvement. Finally, the potential toxicity of MOFs is also an issue that we cannot ignore.

Abstract
This paper reports on an ultrasensitive and label-free electrochemical immunosensor for monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SARS-CoV-2 SP). A self-supported electrode, which can simultaneously serve as an antibody immobilization matrix and electron transport channel, was initially fabricated by a controlled partial exfoliation of a flexible graphitic carbon foil (GCF). Mild acidic treatment enabled the partial oxidation and exfoliation (down to a few layers) of the flexible GCF; this also provided a high percentage of oxygen functionality and an enhanced surface roughness. The substrate electrode was further functionalized with ethylenediamine (EDA) to provide a suitable platform with even a higher surface roughness, for the covalent immobilization of an anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody. The change in the current response for the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox couple, induced by the binding of SARS-CoV-2 SP to the antibody immobilized on the electrode surface, was used to determine the SARS-CoV-2 SP concentration. The immunosensor thus prepared could detect SARS-CoV-2 SP within 30 min with high reproducibility and specificity over a wide concentration range (0.2-100 ng/mL). Detection limits of 25 pg/mL and 27 pg/mL were found in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4), and diluted blood plasma, respectively. The immunosensor was also employed to detect SARS-CoV-2 SP in artificial human saliva.

Abstract
The design of efficient and inexpensive photocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction under visible light is of great significance for the sustainable development of the entire society. Herein, a copper-based metal-organic framework (MOF) (CUST-804) using a bulky tetraphenylethylene-tetrazole linker is synthesized and successfully used as a photocatalyst for CO2 reduction. The structural characterizations, as well as the photophysical properties, are investigated systematically. In the heterogeneous catalytic system, CUST-804 exhibits a robust CO production activity up to 2.71 mmol g-1 h-1 with excellent recyclability along with a selectivity of 82.8%, which is comparable with those of the reported copper-based MOF system. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that, among three kinds of coordinated model, only the 5-coordinated Cu site is active for CO2 reduction, in which the *COOH intermediate is stabilized and CO is readily desorbed. The results obtained herein can provide fresh insights into the realization of efficient copper-functionalized crystalline photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Nanozymes are a kind of nanomaterial mimicking enzyme catalytic activity, which has aroused extensive interest in the fields of biosensors, biomedicine, and climate and ecosystems management. However, due to the complexity of structures and composition of nanozymes, atomic scale active centers have been extensively investigated, which helps with in-depth understanding of the nature of the biocatalysis. Single atom nanozymes (SANs) cannot only significantly enhance the activity of nanozymes but also effectively improve the selectivity of nanozymes owing to the characteristics of simple and adjustable coordination environment and have been becoming the brightest star in the nanozyme spectrum. The SANs based sensors have also been widely investigated due to their definite structural features, which can be helpful to study the catalytic mechanism and provide ways to improve catalytic activity. This perspective presents a comprehensive understanding on the advances and challenges on SANs based sensors. The catalytic mechanisms of SANs and then the sensing application from the perspectives of sensing technology and sensor construction are thoroughly analyzed. Finally, the major challenges, potential future research directions, and prospects for further research on SANs based sensors are also proposed.

Abstract
A 2D/2D NiCo-MOF/Ti3C2 heterojunction is constructed as a non-enzymatic biosensor for the simultaneous electrochemical detection of acetaminophen (AP), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) via differential pulse voltammetry. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of the high electrocatalytic activity of NiCo-MOF, the outstanding conductivity of Ti3C2, and the improved specific surface area of NiCo-MOF/Ti3C2, NiCo-MOF/Ti3C2 displays high sensing performance toward AP (0.01-400 μM), DA (0.01-300 μM), and UA (0.01-350 μM) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (PB, pH 7.4) at working potentials of 0.346 V vs. SCE for AP, 0.138 V vs. SCE for DA, and 0.266 V vs. SCE for UA. Furthermore, the well-separated oxidation peak potentials allow for the simultaneous detection of the analytes, with detection limits of 0.008, 0.004, and 0.006 μM (S/N = 3), respectively. As a result of its considerable reproducibility and anti-interference and anti-fouling properties, NiCo-MOF/Ti3C2 was also developed into a practical sensing platform to detect AP, DA, and UA in serum and urine, presenting excellent recoveries of 98.1-102.2 %.

Abstract
Nanozymes are a class of artificial enzymes that have dimensions in the nanometer range and can be composed of simple metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, metal nanoclusters, dots (both quantum and carbon), nanotubes, nanowires, or multiple metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). They exhibit excellent catalytic activities with low cost, high operational robustness, and a stable shelf-life. More importantly, they are amenable to modifications that can change their surface structures and increase the range of their applications. There are three main classes of nanozymes including the peroxidase-like, the oxidase-like, and the antioxidant nanozymes. Each of these classes catalyzes a specific group of reactions. With the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, the variety of applications for nanozymes in diverse fields has expanded dramatically, with the most popular applications in biosensing. Nanozyme-based novel biosensors have been designed to detect ions, small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and cancer cells. The current review focuses on the catalytic mechanism of nanozymes, their application in biosensing, and the identification of future directions for the field.
