ABSTRACT
Improving reaction selectivity is the next target for nanozymes to mimic natural enzymes. Currently, the majority of strategies in this field are exclusively applicable to metal-organic-based or organic-based nanozymes, while limited in regulating metal oxide-based semiconductor nanozymes. Herein, taking semiconductor Co3O4 as an example, a heterojunction strategy to precisely regulate nanozyme selectivity by simultaneously regulating three vital factors including band structure, metal valence state, and oxygen vacancy content is proposed. After introducing MnO2 to form Z-scheme heterojunctions with Co3O4 nanoparticles, the catalase (CAT)-like and peroxidase (POD)-like activities of Co3O4 can be precisely regulated since the introduction of MnO2 affects the position of the conduction bands, preserves Co in a higher oxidation state (Co3+), and increases oxygen vacancy content, enabling Co3O4-MnO2 exhibit improved CAT-like activity and reduced POD-like activity. This study proposes a strategy for improving reaction selectivity of Co3O4, which contributes to the development of metal oxide-based semiconductor nanozymes.
