Abstract
The new artificial enzymes called nanozymes, which are built on carbon dots (CDs), were created to address several inherent problems with natural enzymes, such as their costing of storeroom, structural volatility, and chemical sympathy. Owing to their high catalytic activity, biocompatibility, and ease of surface fictionalizations, CDs have attracted a lot of attention in the recent years and are now being considered potential replacements in the biomedical, bio-sensing, detection, and green areas. CDs nanozymes have spurred an increase in the study because of their superior catalytic properties, biocompatibility, and environmental friendliness. Although significant advancements have been made, no book chapter devoted to CDs nanozymes has yet been published. In this chapter of the book, we examine the procedures and building blocks utilized to create CDs with enzyme-like behaviour. Additionally, the crucial problems and difficulties of studying nanozymes are covered. To offer future research possibilities, current obstacles to the thriving conversion of CDs to possible relevance are addressed.
