贵金属和碳纳米酶分子机制的理论研究

Theoretical Studies on The Mechanisms of The Enzyme-like Activities of Precious-metal and Carbon Nanomaterials

2007年四氧化三铁类过氧化物酶活性的发现,催生了纳米酶这一新兴多学科交叉研究方向,多种基于金属、金属氧化物和碳纳米材料的纳米酶被发现,并在环境、食品安全、化工、生物医学等领域获得应用.相应的,纳米酶催化分子机制的理论研究也取得了进展.本文将回顾化学催化的基本原理,重点总结贵金属和碳纳米酶分子机制的理论研究进展.

The discovery of the peroxidase-like activity of Fe304 in 2007 has stimulated the emergence of the new, interdisciplinary research field-nanozymes. Many nanozymes based on metal, metal-oxide, and carbon nanomaterials have been developed, which have applications in the areas of environment, food safety, chemical industry, and biomedicine. Accordingly, progress has also been achieved in the theoretical elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of nanozymes. Here, we will review the basic principles of chemical catalysis. Especially, we will summarize the theoretical results that have been made on the molecular mechanisms of nanozymes consisting of precious metals and carbon materials.
