Synergistic Enhancement of Catalytic Activities in Ligand‐Regulated Carbon Dots‐Ferric Ion Nanozymes via UV‐Enhanced Peroxidase‐Oxidase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Three CDs‐Fe nanozymes functionalized with tailor‐made ligands (TPP, HEDP, and DTPA) are synthesized via hydrothermal carbonization and coordination chemistry. A ligand‐regulation strategy for CDs‐Fe nanozymes achieves tunable enzyme‐mimicking activities and a powerful synergistic effect between POD and UV‐induced OXD pathways, paving the way for ...
