Natural enzymes play a pivotal role in catalyzing essential biochemical reactions in both and systems, owing to their exceptional catalytic efficiency, substrate specificity, and biocompatibility. However, their widespread application is significantly limited by inherent drawbacks such as high production costs, limited operational stability, and poor reusability. In response, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, such as graphene, borophene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and MXenes, have emerged as a novel class of enzyme mimetics, or nanozymes, offering distinct advantages due to their atomic thickness, high surface-to-volume ratio, and tunable electronic and physicochemical properties. These materials exhibit superior stability, cost-effectiveness, and structural versatility, making them well-suited for applications across biomedical and environmental domains. In this review, we comprehensively discuss recent advances in the design and functionalization of 2D nanozymes with metallic nanoparticles, single-atom catalysts, and metal oxides, emphasizing their catalytic mechanisms and enzyme-mimetic behaviors. We further examine their utility in biomedical applications, including biosensing, bioimaging, therapeutic diagnostics, and regulation of oxidative stress, as well as in environmental applications such as pollutant detection and remediation. Finally, we highlight current challenges and outline future research directions toward the development of next-generation 2D nanozymes with enhanced functionality and translational potential in healthcare and environmental sustainability.
天然酶在催化生物系统和非生物系统中的基本生化反应中起着关键作用,这归因于它们卓越的催化效率、底物特异性和生物相容性。然而,它们的广泛应用受到诸如高生产成本、有限的操作稳定性和较差的可重复使用性等固有缺点的显著限制。作为回应,二维(2D)纳米材料,如石墨烯、硼烯、六方氮化硼(h-BN)、过渡金属二硫属化物(TMDs)和MXenes,已作为一类新型的酶模拟物或纳米酶出现,由于其原子厚度、高表面积与体积比以及可调节的电子和物理化学性质而具有独特优势。这些材料表现出卓越的稳定性、成本效益和结构多功能性,使其非常适合生物医学和环境领域的应用。在这篇综述中,我们全面讨论了二维纳米酶与金属纳米颗粒、单原子催化剂和金属氧化物的设计与功能化方面的最新进展,强调了它们的催化机制和酶模拟行为。我们进一步研究了它们在生物医学应用中的效用,包括生物传感、生物成像、治疗诊断和氧化应激调节,以及在环境应用中的效用,如污染物检测和修复。最后,我们突出了当前的挑战,并概述了未来的研究方向,以开发在医疗保健和环境可持续性方面具有增强功能和转化潜力的下一代二维纳米酶。
