Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their derivatives have emerged as a series of efficient biocatalysts to mimic the function of natural enzymes in recent years. However, the unsatisfiable enzymatic efficiency usually limits their practical usage ranging from materials science to biotechnology. Here, for the first time, we present the synthesis of several oxygenated-group-enriched carbon nanotubes (o-CNTs) via a facile but green approach, as well as their usage as high-performance peroxidase mimics for biocatalytic reaction. Exhaustive characterizations of the enzymatic activity of o-CNTs have been provided by exploring the accurate effect of various oxygenated groups on their surface including carbonyl, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups. Because of the "competitive inhibition" effect among all of these oxygenated groups, the catalytic efficiency of o-CNTs is significantly enhanced by weakening the presence of noncatalytic sites. Furthermore, the admirable enzymatic activity of these o-CNTs has been successfully applied in the treatment of bacterial infections, and the results of both in vitro and in vivo nanozyme-mediated bacterial clearance clearly demonstrate the feasibility of o-CNTs as robust peroxidase mimics to effectively decrease...Continue Reading
