Abstract
Conventional nanozyme-based pesticide detection often requires the assistance of acetylcholinesterase. In this work, a CuCeTA nanozyme was successfully designed for the direct colorimetric detection of glyphosate. Direct detection can effectively avoid the problems caused by cascading with natural enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase. By assembling tannic acid, copper sulfate pentahydrate and cerium(III) nitrate hexahydrate, CuCeTA nanoflowers were prepared. The obtained CuCeTA possessed excellent peroxidase-like activity that could catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxidized TMB in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Glyphosate could effectively inhibit the peroxidase-like activity of CuCeTA while other pesticides (fenthion, chlorpyrifos, profenofos, phosmet, bromoxynil and dichlorophen) did not show significant inhibitory effects on the catalytic activity of CuCeTA. In this way, CuCeTA could be used for the colorimetric detection of glyphosate with a low detection limit of 0.025 ppm. Combined with a smartphone and imageJ software, a glyphosate test paper was designed with a detection limit of 3.09 ppm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that glyphosate and CuCeTA might be bound by coordination, which could affect the catalytic activity of CuCeTA. Our CuCeTA-based nanozyme system exhibited unique selectivity and sensitivity for glyphosate detection and this work may provide a new strategy for rapid and convenient detection of pesticides.

Abstract
Designing an efficient catalyst for a sustainable photoelectrochemical water oxidation reaction is very challenging in the context of renewable energy research. Here, we have introduced a new semiconducting porous zinc-thiolate framework via successful stitching of an "N" donor linker with a triazine-based tristhiolate secondary building unit in the overall architecture. The introduction of both linker and tristhiolate ligand synergistically modifies the architecture by making it a rigid, crystalline, three-dimensional, thermally stable, and porous framework. Our novel zinc-thiolate framework is used as an n-type semiconductor as revealed from the solid-state UV-vis DRS spectroscopic analysis, ac and dc conductivity analysis, and Mott-Schottky plot. This n-type semiconductor-based zinc-thiolate framework is utilized in the photoelectrochemical water oxidation reaction. It displayed a very high efficiency for a visible-light-driven oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in a KOH medium using standard Ag/AgCl as the reference electrode. The superiority of this material was further revealed from the low onset potential (0.822 mV vs RHE), high photocurrent density (0.204 mA cm-2), good stability, and high O2 evolution rate (77 μmol g-1 of oxygen evolution within 2 h), and a good efficiency (ABPE 0.42%, IPCE 29.6% and APCE 34.5%). Furthermore, the porosity in the overall framework seems to be a blessing to the photoelectrochemical performance due to better mass diffusion of the electrolyte. A detailed mechanism for the OER reaction was analyzed through density functional theory analysis suggesting the potential future of this Zn-thiolate framework for achieving a high efficiency in the sustainable water oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a type of nanomaterial with enzyme-like properties, are a promising alternative to natural enzymes. In particular, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs, with the general formula MX2, where M represents a transition metal and X is a chalcogen element)-based nanozymes have demonstrated exceptional potential in the healthcare and diagnostic sectors. TMDCs have different enzymatic properties due to their unique nano-architecture, high surface area, and semiconducting properties with tunable band gaps. Furthermore, the compatibility of TMDCs with various chemical or physical modification strategies provide a simple and scalable way to engineer and control their enzymatic activity. Here, we discuss recent advances made with TMDC-based nanozymes for biosensing and therapeutic applications. We also discuss their synthesis strategies, various enzymatic properties, current challenges, and the outlook for future developments in this field.

Abstract
Biological enzymes play important roles in mediating the biological reactions in vitro and in vivo due to their high catalytic activity, strong bioactivity, and high specificity; however, they have also some disadvantages such as high cost, low environmental stability, weak reusability, and difficult production. To overcome these shortcomings, functional nanomaterials including metallic nanoparticles, single atoms, metal oxides, alloys, and others have been utilized as nanozymes to mimic the properties and functions of natural enzymes. Due to the development of the synthesis and applications of two-dimensional (2D) materials, 2D nanomaterials have shown high potential to be used as novel nanozymes in biosensing, bioimaging, therapy, logic gates, and environmental remediation due to their unique physical, chemical, biological, and electronic properties. In this work, we summarize recent advances in the preparation and functionalization, as well as biosensor and immunoassay applications of various 2D material-based nanozymes. To achieve this aim, first we demonstrate the preparation strategies of 2D nanozymes such as chemical reduction, templated synthesis, chemical exfoliation, calcination, electrochemical deposition, hydrothermal synthesis, and many others. Meanwhile, the structure and properties of the 2D nanozymes prepared by conjugating 2D materials with nanoparticles, metal oxides, biomolecules, polymers, ions, and 2D heteromaterials are introduced and discussed in detail. Then, the applications of the prepared 2D nanozymes in colorimetric, electrochemical, fluorescent, and electrochemiluminescent sensors are demonstrated.
