Abstract

An Al centre-powered graphitic nanozyme derived from a metal organic framework was first developed for a chemodynamic tumor treatment. By virtue of the rapid and efficient generation of ˙OH in the slightly acidic tumor microenvironment, this nanozyme afforded high anti-tumor efficacy both in living cells and in vivo.
