Graphdiyne oxide: a new carbon nanozyme

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 May 11;56(38):5115-5118. doi: 10.1039/d0cc01840f. Epub 2020 Apr 22.

Abstract

Graphdiyne (GDY) is a new recently-synthesized carbon allotrope. We find here that graphdiyne oxide (GDYO), the oxidized form of GDY, can serve as a new kind of carbon nanozyme mimicking peroxidase. This finding essentially offers a new platform for fundamental understanding of carbon nanozymes and broadens the application of GDY.
