Nanomaterials possess superior advantages due to their special geometries, higher surface area, and unique mechanical, optical, and physicochemical properties. Their characteristics make them great contributors to the development of many technological and industrial sectors. Therefore, novel nanomaterials have an increasing interest in many research areas including biomedicine such as chronic inflammations, disease detection, drug delivery, and infections treatment. Their relevant role is, in many cases, associated with an effective catalytic application, either as a pure catalyst (acting as a nanozyme) or as a support for catalytically active materials (forming nanobiocatalysts). In this review, we analyze the construction of nanozymes and nanobiocatalyst by different existing forms of nanomaterials including carbon-based nanomaterials, metal-based nanomaterials, and polymer-based nanocomposites. Then, we examine successful examples of such nanomaterials employed in biomedical research. The role played by nanomaterials in catalytic applications is analyzed to identify possible research directions toward the development of the field and the achievement of real practicability.
纳米材料因其特殊的几何形状、更高的表面积以及独特的机械、光学和物理化学性质而具有卓越的优势。它们的特性使其成为许多技术和工业领域发展的重要贡献者。因此，新型纳米材料在包括生物医学在内的许多研究领域越来越受到关注，如慢性炎症、疾病检测、药物递送和感染治疗。在许多情况下，它们的相关作用与有效的催化应用有关，既可以作为纯催化剂（充当纳米酶），也可以作为催化活性材料的载体（形成纳米生物催化剂）。在本综述中，我们分析了通过不同现有形式的纳米材料构建纳米酶和纳米生物催化剂，包括碳基纳米材料、金属基纳米材料和聚合物基纳米复合材料。然后，我们研究了此类纳米材料在生物医学研究中的成功实例。分析了纳米材料在催化应用中所起的作用，以确定该领域发展的可能研究方向以及实现实际实用性的目标。
