[PMID: 39022784 PMCID: PMC467077 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
To improve the activity of single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) for applications in food analysis, a new bimetal SAzyme FeCe/NC was developed. Its oxidase-like activity is 40% higher than that of single metal SAzyme Fe/NC. Based on a series of characterization investigations, the catalytic mechanism is that it directly catalyzed O2 to generate •OH, O2 •-and 1O2. It could directly catalyze oxidation 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxTMB, thereunder, a FeCe/NC SAzyme-TMB colorimetric method for the detection of tannic acid (TA) was constructed after the optimization of catalytic conditions. The method has a high R2 of 0.995, a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.26 μmol/L, and high stability. The detection performance was validated by the real samples (tea). Therefore, the prepared bimetallic SAzyme FeCe/NC can be applied for TA detection without the addition of H2O2, and will have broad applications in the areas of food, feed, and life science.

Abstract
Modifying the coordination or local environments of single-, di-, tri-, and multi-metal atom (SMA/DMA/TMA/MMA)-based materials is one of the best strategies for increasing the catalytic activities, selectivity, and long-term durability of these materials. Advanced sheet materials supported by metal atom-based materials have become a critical topic in the fields of renewable energy conversion systems, storage devices, sensors, and biomedicine owing to the maximum atom utilization efficiency, precisely located metal centers, specific electron configurations, unique reactivity, and precise chemical tunability. Several sheet materials offer excellent support for metal atom-based materials and are attractive for applications in energy, sensors, and medical research, such as in oxygen reduction, oxygen production, hydrogen generation, fuel production, selective chemical detection, and enzymatic reactions. The strong metal-metal and metal-carbon with metal-heteroatom (i.e., N, S, P, B, and O) bonds stabilize and optimize the electronic structures of the metal atoms due to strong interfacial interactions, yielding excellent catalytic activities. These materials provide excellent models for understanding the fundamental problems with multistep chemical reactions. This review summarizes the substrate structure-activity relationship of metal atom-based materials with different active sites based on experimental and theoretical data. Additionally, the new synthesis procedures, physicochemical characterizations, and energy and biomedical applications are discussed. Finally, the remaining challenges in developing efficient SMA/DMA/TMA/MMA-based materials are presented.

[PMID: 38608632 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Monitoring acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is crucial in clinical diagnosis and drug screening. Traditional methods for detecting AChE usually require the addition of intermediates like acetylthiocholine, which complicates the detection process and introduces interference risks. Herein, we develop a direct colorimetric assay based on alkaline iron formate nanosheets (Fe(HCOO)2.6(OH)0.3·H2O NSs, Fef NSs) for the detection of AChE without any intermediates. The as-prepared Fef NSs exhibit oxidase-like activity, catalyzing the generation of O2·-, 1O2 and ·OH, which leads to a color change from colorless to blue when exposed to 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine. AChE directly inhibits the oxidase-like activity of Fef NSs, resulting in a hindered color reaction, enabling the detection of AChE. The biosensor has a linear detection range of 0.1-30 mU/mL, with a minimum detection limit of 0.0083 mU/mL (S/N = 3), representing a 100-fold improvement in detection sensitivity over the traditional Ellman's method. Satisfactory results were obtained when analyzing real AChE samples. Attractively, a method for the quantitative detection of AChE by a smartphone is established based on the Fef NSs. This method enables instant acquisition of AChE concentrations, achieving real-time visualized detection.

Abstract
Bacteria have always been a thorny problem that threatens human health and food safety. Conventional antibiotic treatment often leads to the emergence of drug resistance. Therefore, the development of more effective antibacterial agents is urgently needed. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) can efficiently eliminate bacteria due to their high atomic utilization, abundant active centers, and good natural enzyme mimicry, providing a potential alternative choice for antibiotics in antibacterial applications. Here, the antibacterial applications of SAzymes are reviewed and their catalytic properties are discussed from the aspects of active sites, coordination environment regulation and carrier selection. Then, the antibacterial effect of SAzymes is elaborated in combination with photothermal therapy (PTT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Finally, the problems faced by SAzymes in antibacterial applications and their future development potential are proposed.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) presents an alternative method for the Haber-Bosch process, and single-atom catalysts (SACs) to achieve efficient NRR have attracted considerable attention in the past decades. However, whether SACs are more suitable for NRR compared to atomic-cluster catalysts (ACCs) remains to be studied. Herein, we have successfully synthesized both the Fe monomers (Fe1) and trimers (Fe3) on nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts. Both the experiments and DFT calculations indicate that compared to the end-on adsorption of N2 on Fe1 catalysts, N2 activation is enhanced via the side-on adsorption on Fe3 catalysts, and the reaction follows the enzymatic pathway with a reduced free energy barrier for NRR. As a result, the Fe3 catalysts achieved better NRR performance (NH3 yield rate of 27.89 μg h-1 mg-1cat. and Faradaic efficiency of 45.13%) than Fe1 catalysts (10.98 μg h-1 mg-1cat. and 20.98%). Therefore, our research presents guidance to prepare more efficient NRR catalysts.

Abstract
Herein, we synthesized a novel N-doped carbon layer encapsulated Fe/Co bimetallic nanoparticles (Fe/Co-NC), which exhibited superior oxidase-like activity due to the facilitation of electron penetration and the formation of metal-nitrogen active sites. Fe/Co-NC could catalyze the oxidation of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxTMB. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) could catalyze the hydrolysis of thioacetylcholine to produce reducing thiocholine, which prevented TMB from oxidation. Thus, a portable hydrogel colorimetric sensor was developed for on-site and visual monitoring of AChE with the detection limit of 0.36 U L-1, and successfully applied to detect AChE in human erythrocyte samples. Furthermore, this platform was used to investigate the inhibition of triazophos on AChE activity.

Abstract
Herein, we successfully synthesized two-dimensional iron-doped carbon-based nanosheets (Fe-N800 CS) with catalase-like activity through doping Fe into Zn MOF and introducing graphitic C3N4 (g-C3N4). The interaction of the Fe-N800 CS with hydrogen peroxide could generated abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) and further oxidize o-Phenylenediamine (OPD) to 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) which has constant fluorescence at 560 nm. Ascorbic acid (AA) could be generated via the hydrolysis reaction between alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP). AA can be oxidized to dehy-droascorbic acid (DHA) by ROS, and then combined with OPD to generate 3-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)furo[3,4b]-quinoxaline (QXD) with fluorescence at 440 nm, which could increase as the concentration of AA enhanced. DHA could also be generated through oxidation of AA by ascorbate oxidase (AAO). Thus, by monitoring the fluorescence ratio (I560/I440), a ratiometric fluorescence biosensing platform for ALP and AAO was established with the linear ranges in 0.2-10 U/L and 1-60 U/L, respectively. The limit of detection for ALP and AAO were 0.12 U/L and 0.59 U/L. Furthermore, the biosensing platform was successfully applied for the detection of ALP and AAO activity in human serum samples. This work provides a potential tool for future biomedical diagnostics.

Abstract
It is imperative to develop a rapid detection method for Hg2+ due to its harm to human health and the ecological environment. In this research, CuO/Au@Cu3(BTC)2 was synthesized through reducing HAuCl4 by CuxO@Cu3(BTC)2, which was obtained by reducing Cu3(BTC)2 with hydrazine hydrate. The oxidase-mimic activity of CuO/Au@Cu3(BTC)2 can be enhanced by Hg2+ through forming a Au-Hg alloy. Therefore, a colorimetric method was designed for Hg2+ detection with a linear relationship in the 0.05-25 μM range and a limit of detection of 9.7 nM. This strategy exhibited a strong selectivity to Hg2+ and was applied in a real water sample with reliable recoveries. This work provides a possibility for the rapid detection of Hg2+.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a class of nanomaterials mimicking the function of enzymes, have aroused much attention as the candidate in diverse fields with the arbitrarily tunable features owing to the diversity of crystalline nanostructures, composition, and surface configurations. However, the uncertainty of their active sites and the lower intrinsic deficiencies of nanomaterial-initiated catalysis compared with the natural enzymes promote the pursuing of alternatives by imitating the biological active centers. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) maximize the atom utilization with the well-defined structure, providing an important bridge to investigate mechanism and the relationship between structure and catalytic activity. They have risen as the new burgeoning alternative to the natural enzyme from in vitro bioanalytical tool to in vivo therapy owing to the flexible atomic engineering structure. Here, focus is mainly on the three parts. First, a detailed overview of single-atom catalyst synthesis strategies including bottom-up and top-down approaches is given. Then, according to the structural feature of single-atom nanocatalysts, the influence factors such as central metal atom, coordination number, heteroatom doping, and the metal-support interaction are discussed and the representative biological applications (including antibacterial/antiviral performance, cancer therapy, and biosensing) are highlighted. In the end, the future perspective and challenge facing are demonstrated.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a new class of functional nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics, have recently made great achievements and have become potential substitutes for natural enzymes. In particular, single-atomic nanozymes (Sazymes) have received intense research focus on account of their versatile enzyme-like performances and well-defined spatial configurations of single-atomic sites. More recently, dual-atomic-site catalysts (DACs) containing two neighboring single-atomic sites have been explored as next-generation nanozymes, thanks to the flexibility in tuning active sites by various combinations of two single-atomic sites. This minireview outlines the research progress of DACs in their synthetic approaches and the latest characterization techniques highlighting a series of representative examples of DAC-based nanozymes. In the final remarks, we provide current challenges and perspectives for developing DAC-based nanozymes as a guide for researchers who would be interested in this exciting field.

Since the discovery of enzyme-like activity of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in 2007, nanozymes are becoming the promising substitutes for natural enzymes due to their advantages of high catalytic activity, low cost, mild reaction conditions, good stability, and suitable for large-scale production. Recently, with the cross fusion of nanomedicine and nanocatalysis, nanozyme-based theranostic strategies attract great attention, since the enzymatic reactions can be triggered in the tumor microenvironment to achieve good curative effect with substrate specificity and low side effects. Thus, various nanozymes have been developed and used for tumor therapy. In this review, more than 270 research articles are discussed systematically to present progress in the past five years. First, the discovery and development of nanozymes are summarized. Second, classification and catalytic mechanism of nanozymes are discussed. Third, activity prediction and rational design of nanozymes are focused by highlighting the methods of density functional theory, machine learning, biomimetic and chemical design. Then, synergistic theranostic strategy of nanozymes are introduced. Finally, current challenges and future prospects of nanozymes used for tumor theranostic are outlined, including selectivity, biosafety, repeatability and stability, in-depth catalytic mechanism, predicting and evaluating activities.

Abstract
Inspired by structures of natural metalloenzymes, a biomimetic synthetic strategy is developed for scalable synthesis of porous Fe-N3 single atom nanozymes (pFeSAN) using hemoglobin as Fe-source and template. pFeSAN delivers 3.3- and 8791-fold higher oxidase-like activity than Fe-N4 and Fe3O4 nanozymes. The high catalytic performance is attributed to (1) the suppressed aggregation of atomically dispersed Fe; (2) facilitated mass transfer and maximized exposure of active sites for the created mesopores by thermal removal of hemoglobin (2 ~ 3 nm); and (3) unique electronic configuration of Fe-N3 for the oxygen-to-water oxidation pathway (analogy with natural cytochrome c oxidase). The pFeSAN is successfully demonstrated for the rapid colorimetric detection of glutathione with a low limit of detection (2.4 nM) and wide range (50 nM-1 mM), and further developed as a real-time, facile, rapid (~6 min) and precise visualization analysis methodology of tumors via glutathione level, showing its potentials for diagnostic and clinic applications.

Abstract
Nanozymes, nanomaterials possessing enzymatic activity, have been studied extensively by researchers. However, their complex composition, low density of active sites, and inadequate substrate selectivity have hindered the maturation and widespread acceptance of nanozymes. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with atomically dispersed active sites are leading the field of catalysis due to their exceptional performance. The maximum utilization rate of atoms, low cost, well-defined coordination structure, and active sites are the most prominent advantages of SAzymes that researchers favor. This review systematically categorizes SAzymes based on their support type and describes their specific applications. Additionally, we discuss regulation strategies for SAzyme activity and provide a comprehensive summary of biosafety challenges associated with these enzymes.

Abstract
Nanozymes, enzyme-mimicking nanomaterials, have attracted increasing attention due to their low cost, high stability, and catalytic ability compared with natural enzymes. However, the catalytic efficiency of the nanozymes is still relatively low, and catalytic reaction mechanisms remain unclear. To address these issues, herein we prepared nitrogen-riched and sulfur-codoped nano hollow carbons (N/S-HCS) using a green and useful template of CaCO3. N/S-HCS exhibits enhanced oxidase-like activity and catalytic kinetic performance. It could directly oxidize the colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to the heavy blue colored ox-TMB without H2O2. The maximum reaction rate (Vmax) is 186.7 × 10-8 M·s-1, and Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) is 0.162 mM. DFT results show that N and S codoping could work synergistically to provide more active sites, resulting in the superior ability to adsorb oxygen and enhanced catalytic activity. Meantime, we develop a multispectral characterization strategy to unravel catalytic reaction mechanisms about N/S-HCS. It successfully induces the generation of superoxide (•O2-) and hydroxyl (•OH) during the colorimetric reaction which are the key intermediate products of the catalytic reaction. Furthermore, N/S-HCS increased the cellular reactive oxygen species level significantly and induced bacteriostasis to more than 95% of Escherichia coli.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are efficient methods to remove poisonous organic pollutants from water. But in AOPs, additional radical providers, such as H2O2, persulfate, and permonosulfate, are indispensable, which not only add the risk of secondary pollution but also increase cost and complexity in operation. To resolve this problem, nanozymes with oxidase-mimic activity are a prospective choice, which can convert O2 in the air to ·OH and degrade organic pollutants. Here, CoMoO4/MoS2, a nanozyme with excellent oxidase-mimic activity, is synthesized. In the structure, the p-n heterojunction generates between p-type CoMoO4 and n-type MoS2. Energy band analysis and theoretical calculations suggest the p-n heterojunction intensifies adsorption toward O2, which improves oxidase-mimic activity. This facilitates the generation of ·OH and improves organic pollutant degradation performance with AOPs. Furthermore, CoMoO4/MoS2 also exhibits an antibiofouling ability due to the existence of ·OH. This work clarifies the connection between the structure and oxidase-mimic activity for nanozymes with the p-n heterojunction. More importantly, a new AOP without additional radical providers is developed based on oxidase-mimic activity.

Abstract
Transition metal-N-doped carbon has been demonstrated to mimic natural enzyme activity; in this study, cobalt-nitrogen co-doped carbon (Co-N-C) nanomaterial was developed, and it could be an oxidase mimic. Firstly, Co-N-C with oxidase-like activity boosts the chromogenic reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce the oxidized TMB (oxTMB). And the aromatic primary amino group of oxTMB reacts with nitrite (NO2-) to form diazo groups. Based on this background, we developed a cascade system of a Co-N-C-catalyzed oxidation reaction and a diazotization reaction for nitrite determination. The low detection limit (0.039 μM) indicates that Co-N-C is superior compared with the vast majority of previously reported nitrite assays. This study not only provides a novel nanozyme with sufficiently dispersed active sites, but it also further applies it to the determination of nitrite, which is expected to expand the application of nanozymes in colorimetric analysis.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) have drawn ever-increasing attention due to their maximum atom utilization efficiency and enhanced enzyme-like activity. Herein, a facile pyrolysis strategy is reported for the synthesis of the iron-nitrogen-carbon (Fe-N-C) SAzyme using ferrocene trapped within porous zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8@Fc) as a precursor. The as-prepared Fe-N-C SAzyme exhibited exceptional oxidase-mimicking activity, catalytically oxidizing 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with high affinity (Km) and fast reaction rate (Vmax). Taking advantage of this property, we designed two colorimetric sensing assays based on different interaction modes between small molecules and Fe active sites. Firstly, utilizing the reduction activity of ascorbic acid (AA) toward oxidized TMB (TMBox), a colorimetric bioassay for AA detection was established, which exhibited a good linear range of detection from 0.1 to 2 μM and a detection limit as low as 0.1 μM. Additionally, based on the inhibition of nanozyme activity by the thiols of glutathione (GSH), a colorimetric biosensor for GSH detection was constructed, showing a linear response over a concentration range of 1-10 μM, with a detection limit of 1.3 μM. This work provides a promising strategy for rationally designing oxidase-like SAzymes and broadening their application in biosensing.

Abstract
The elevated antioxidant defense system in cancer cells can lead to resistance to treatments involving ROS. Breaking the redox balance of the cell system through a "open up the source and regulate the flow" strategy can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and thus design a cancer treatment strategy. Here, cobalt single atom-supported N-doped carbon nanozymes (Co SA-N/C) were synthesized via a simple sacrificial template method, which can mimic the properties of ascorbate oxidase and glutathione oxidase effectively. The synthesized Co SA-N/C can induce the generation of active oxygen by accelerating the oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA) and destroy the endogenous active oxygen scavenging system by consuming the main antioxidant, glutathione (GSH). In-depth in vitro and in vivo investigations indicate that compared with solo therapy, Co SA-N/C together with AA can significantly enhance the anti-tumor efficiency by simultaneously elevating oxidative stress and consuming the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) through the redox reaction catalyzed by Co SA-N/C. This work provides a promising route for developing nanozyme-guided and ascorbate-based antitumor agents.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) are promising in next-generation nanozymes, nevertheless, how to rationally modulate the microenvironment of SAzymes with controllable multi-enzyme properties is still challenging. Herein, we systematically investigate the relationship between atomic configuration and multi-enzymatic performances. The constructed MnSA -N3 -coordinated SAzymes (MnSA -N3 -C) exhibits much more remarkable oxidase-, peroxidase-, and glutathione oxidase-like activities than that of MnSA -N4 -C. Based on experimental and theoretical results, these multi-enzyme-like behaviors are highly dependent on the coordination number of single atomic Mn sites by local charge polarization. As a consequence, a series of colorimetric biosensing platforms based on MnSA -N3 -C SAzymes is successfully built for specific recognition of biological molecules. These findings provide atomic-level insight into the microenvironment of nanozymes, promoting rational design of other demanding biocatalysts.

Abstract
Emerging as cost-effective potential alternatives to natural enzymes, nanozymes have attracted increasing interest in broad fields. To exploit the in-depth potential of nanozymes, rational structural engineering and explicit catalytic mechanisms at the molecular scale are required.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit unparalleled atomic utilization and catalytic efficiency, yet it is challenging to modulate SACs with highly dispersed single-atoms, mesopores, and well-regulated coordination environment simultaneously and ultimately maximize their catalytic efficiency. Here, a generalized strategy to construct highly active ferric-centered SACs (Fe-SACs) is developed successfully via a biomineralization strategy that enables the homogeneous encapsulation of metalloproteins within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) followed by pyrolysis. The results demonstrate that the constructed metalloprotein-MOF-templated Fe-SACs achieve up to 23-fold and 47-fold higher activity compared to those using metal ions as the single-atom source and those with large mesopores induced by Zn evaporation, respectively, as well as up to a 25-fold and 1900-fold higher catalytic efficiency compared to natural enzymes and natural-enzyme-immobilized MOFs. Furthermore, this strategy can be generalized to a variety of metal-containing metalloproteins and enzymes. The enhanced catalytic activity of Fe-SACs benefits from the highly dispersed atoms, mesopores, as well as the regulated coordination environment of single-atom active sites induced by metalloproteins. Furthermore, the developed Fe-SACs act as an excellent and effective therapeutic platform for suppressing tumor cell growth. This work advances the development of highly efficient SACs using metalloproteins-MOFs as a template with diverse biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The cleavage and functionalization of recalcitrant carbon─carbon bonds is highly challenging but represents a very powerful tool for value-added transformation of feedstock chemicals. Here, an enzyme-mimic iron single-atom catalyst (SAC) bearing iron (III) nitride (FeN3) motifs was prepared and found to be robust for cleavage and cyanation of carbon-carbon bonds in secondary alcohols and ketones. High nitrile yields are obtained with a wide variety of functional groups. The prepared FeN3-SAC exhibits high enzyme-like activity and is capable of generating a dioxygen-to-superoxide radical at room temperature, while the commonly reported FeN4-SAC bearing FeN4 motifs was inactive. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals that the activation energy of dioxygen activation and the activation energy of the rate-determining step of nitrile formation are lower over FeN3-SAC than FeN4-SAC. In addition, DFT calculation also explains the catalyst's high selectivity for nitriles.

Abstract
Due to inherent structural defects, common nanocatalysts always display limited catalytic activity and selectivity, making it practically difficult for them to replace natural enzymes in a broad scope of biologically important applications. By decreasing the size of the nanocatalysts, their catalytic activity and selectivity will be substantially improved. Guided by this concept, the advances of nanocatalysts now enter an era of atomic-level precise control. Single-atom catalysts (denoted as SACs), characterized by atomically dispersed active sites, strikingly show utmost atomic utilization, precisely located metal centers, unique metal-support interactions and identical coordination environments. Such advantages of SACs drastically boost the specific activity per metal atom, and thus provide great potential for achieving superior catalytic activity and selectivity to functionally mimic or even outperform natural enzymes of interest. Although the size of the catalysts does matter, it is not clear whether the guideline of "the smaller, the better" is still correct for developing catalysts at the single-atom scale. Thus, it is clearly a new, urgent issue to address before further extending SACs into biomedical applications, representing an important branch of nanomedicine. This review begins by providing an overview of recent advances of synthesis strategies of SACs, which serve as a basis for the discussion of emerging achievements in improving the enzyme-like catalytic properties at an atomic level. Then, we carefully compare the structures and functions of catalysts at various scales from nanoparticles, nanoclusters, and few-atom clusters to single atoms. Contrary to conventional wisdom, SACs are not the most catalytically active catalysts in specific reactions, especially those requiring multi-site auxiliary activities. After that, we highlight the unique roles of SACs toward biomedical applications. To appreciate these advances, the challenges and prospects in rapidly growing studies of SACs-related catalytic nanomedicine are also discussed in this review.

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
To reach a carbon-neutral future, electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) has proven to be a strong candidate for the next-generation energy system. Among potential materials, single-atom catalysts (SACs) serve as a model to study the mechanism behind the reduction of CO2 to CO, given their well-defined active metal centers and structural simplicity. Moreover, using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as supports to anchor and stabilize central metal atoms, the common concern, metal aggregation, for SACs can be addressed well. Furthermore, with their turnability and designability, MOF-derived SACs can also extend the scope of research on SACs for the eCO2RR. Herein, we synthesize sulfurized MOF-derived Mn SACs to study effects of the S dopant on the eCO2RR. Using complementary characterization techniques, the metal moiety of the sulfurized MOF-derived Mn SACs (MnSA/SNC) is identified as MnN3S1. Compared with its non-sulfur-modified counterpart (MnSA/NC), the MnSA/SNC provides uniformly superior activity to produce CO. Specifically, a nearly 30% enhancement of Faradaic efficiency (F.E.) in CO production is observed, and the highest F.E. of approximately 70% is identified at -0.45 V. Through operando spectroscopic characterization, the probing results reveal that the overall enhancement of CO production on the MnSA/SNC is possibly caused by the S atom in the local MnN3S1 moiety, as the sulfur atom may induce the formation of S-O bonding to stabilize the critical intermediate, *COOH, for CO2-to-CO. Our results provide novel design insights into the field of SACs for the eCO2RR.

Abstract
Surpassing natural enzymes in cost, stability and mass production, nanozymes have attracted wide attention in fields from disease diagnosis to tumor therapy. However, nanozymes intrinsically have low reaction selectivity, which significantly restricts their applications. A general method is reported to address this challenge by following a biomimetic operation principle of substrates channeling and screening. Two oxidase- and peroxidase-like nanozymes (i.e., emerging N-doped carbon nanocages and Prussian blue nanoparticles), were cascaded as a proof of concept to improve the reaction selectivity in transforming the substrate into the targeted product by more than 2000 times. The cascaded nanozymes were also adopted to a spatially confined microfluidic device, leading to more than 100-fold enhancement of the reaction efficiency due to signal amplification.

Abstract
To identify high-efficiency metal-nitrogen-doped (M-N-C) electrocatalysts for the electrochemical CO2 -to-CO reduction reaction (CO2 RR), a method that uses density functional theory calculation is presented to evaluate their selectivity, activity, and structural stability. Twenty-three M-N4 -C catalysts are evaluated, and three of them (M = Fe, Co, or Ni) are identified as promising candidates. They are synthesized and tested as proof-of-concept catalysts for CO2 -to-CO conversion. Different key descriptors, including the maximum reaction energy, differences of the *H and *CO binding energy (ΔG*H -ΔG*CO ), and *CO desorption energy (ΔG*CO→CO( g ) ), are used to clarify the reaction mechanism. These computational descriptors effectively predict the experimental observations in the entire range of electrochemical potential. The findings provide a guideline for rational design of heterogeneous CO2 RR electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The nanomaterials intrinsic enzyme-like activity has gained enormous traction since its discovery in 2007 by Gao and colleagues. The wide range of applications with nanozymes made it more attractive among the scientific community across the world. The area of artificial-enzymes is still evolving, with the development of Single-Atom Nanozymes (SANs), and there is a lot of opportunity in the design and development of SANs that has plenty of real-time applications. The irregular active site distribution or truncated densities of active sites present on the surface of nanozymes can be result in the reduced activity and specificity of nanozymes. Individually spreading these active sites evenly on a solid support will help to curtail the uneven distribution of active sites, resulting in the formation of SANs. SANs, like homogeneous catalysts, are very effective and active due to the nearly uniform distribution of active sites on solid support, and their recovery and recyclability, like heterogeneous catalysts, make them green and sustainable. This review provides a brief overview of architecture, synthesis, and implementations of SANs in various fields. Also, the possibility of SANs in environmental catalysis is discussed along with the key challenges and prospects lying ahead in this field.

Abstract
Advances in nanoscience have stimulated the wide exploration of nanozymes as alternatives to enzymes. Nonetheless, nanozymes often catalyze multiple reactions and are not specialized to a specific substrate, restricting their broad application. Here, we report that the substrate selectivity of the peroxidase-mimic M-N-C can be significantly altered via forming bound intermediates with variable interactions with substrates according to the type of metal. Taking two essential reactions in chemical sensing as an example, Fe-N-C and Co-N-C showed opposite catalytic selectivity for the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and 3-aminophthalhydrazide (luminol), respectively, by factors of up to 200-fold. It was revealed that specific transition metal-N coordination was the origin of the selective activation of H2O2 forming critically bound oxygen intermediates (M[double bond, length as m-dash]O) for oxygen-atom transfer and the consequent oxidization of substrates. Notably, owing to the embedded ligands in the rigid graphitic framework, surprisingly, the selectivity of M-N-C was even superior to that of commonly used horseradish peroxidase (HRP).

Abstract
Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been receiving increasing attention in various catalytic fields, and meanwhile, emerging nanocatalytic medicine provides a novel tumor chemotherapy modality without using toxic chemodrugs. The distinct properties of SACs, such as well-defined and precisely located metal centers, identical coordination environment, tailorable composition and structure, and versatile functionality, make them promising candidates for catalytic tumor therapy. Herein, the most recent advances in nanocatalytic tumor therapy by using various types of SACs, especially their remarkable achievements in several nanocatalytic tumor therapy-based modalities, such as chemodynamic therapy by tumor microenvironment-responsive catalytic reactions, photodynamic therapy by photocatalytic reactions, sonodynamic therapy by sonocatalytic reactions, and parallel catalytic therapy by parallel catalytic reactions, are reviewed by focusing on the catalytic nanoplatform construction and catalytic mechanism. A concise but concentrated summary and outlook are provided finally to outline the perspectives and the remaining challenges for the future design and engineering of SACs for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) featuring the complete atomic utilization of metal, high-efficient catalytic activity, superior selectivity, and excellent stability have been emerged as a frontier in the catalytic field. Recently, increasing interests have been drawn to apply SACs in biomedical fields for enzyme-mimic catalysis and disease therapy. To fulfill the demand of precision and personalized medicine, precisely engineering the structure and active site toward atomic levels is a trend for nanomedicines, promoting the evolution of metal-based biomedical nanomaterials, particularly biocatalytic nanomaterials, from nanoparticles to clusters and now to SACs. This review outlines the syntheses, characterizations, and catalytic mechanisms of metal clusters and SACs, with a focus on their biomedical applications including biosensing, antibacterial therapy, and cancer therapy, as well as an emphasis on their in vivo biological safeties. Challenges and future perspectives are ultimately prospected for SACs in diverse biomedical applications.

Abstract
Herein, we designed a new strategy for fabricating a renewable bioresource-derived N-doped hierarchical porous carbon-supported iron (Fe/NPC)-based oxidase mimic. The obtained results suggested that Fe/NPC possessed a large specific surface area (1144 m2/g) and pore volume (0.62 cm3/g) to afford extensive Fe-Nx active sites. Taking advantages of the remarkable oxidase-mimicking activity, outstanding stability, and reusability of Fe/NPC, a novel dual-channel biosensing system was strategically fabricated for sensitively determining acetylcholinesterase (AChE) through the integration of Fe/NPC and fluorescent silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) for the first time. The limits of detection for AChE can achieve as low as 0.0032 and 0.0073 U/L by the outputting fluorometric and colorimetric dual signals, respectively. Additionally, this dual-signal system was applied to analyze human erythrocyte AChE and its inhibitor with robust analytical performance. This work provides one sustainable and effective avenue to apply a bioresource for fabricating an Fe/NPC-based oxidase mimic with high catalytic performance and also gives new impetuses for developing novel biosensors by applying Fe/NPC-based enzyme mimics as substitutes for the natural enzyme.

Abstract
Development of highly sensitive biosensors has received ever-increasing attention over the years. Due to the unique physicochemical properties, the functional nanomaterial-enabled signal amplification strategy has made some great breakthroughs in biosensing. However, the sensitivity and selectivity still need further improvement. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) containing atomically dispersed metal active sites demonstrate distinctive advantages in catalytic activity and selectivity for various catalytic reactions. As a consequence, the SAC-enabled signal amplification strategy holds great promise in biosensors, demonstrating satisfactory sensitivity and selectivity with the assistance of tunable metal-support interactions, coordination environments and geometric/electronic structures of active sites. In this tutorial review, we briefly discuss the structural advantages of SACs. Then, the catalytic mechanism at the atomic scale and signal amplification effects of SACs in the colorimetric, electrochemical, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence, and photoelectrochemical biosensing applications are highlighted in detail. Finally, opportunities and challenges to be faced in the future development of the SAC-enabled signal amplification strategy for biosensing are discussed and outlooked.

Abstract
Nanozymes have been widely used as highly active and stable arterial enzymes due to their controllable electronic transfer and unique catalytic reaction route. However, the development of nanozymes is hindered by their ambiguous structure, insufficient activity and inadequate substrate selectivity. In comparison, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) hold superior catalytic activity 10-100 times higher than conventional nanozymes by maximizing the utilization of metal atom dispersion, and exhibit versatile catalytic selectivity through precisely adjusting the atom spatial configuration. In this review, we highlight several well-defined SAzymes, and discuss their accurate atom configuration, catalytic mechanisms, enzyme-like activity, and applications in cancer treatment, brain disease, and wound healing. It is of great significance to understand the advantages and properties of SAzymes for further medical development.
