Deciphering the high-carbonization-temperature triggered enzymatic activity of wool-derived N,S-co-doped carbon nanosheets

It is well-established that high carbonization temperature will trigger the enzyme-like activity of carbon-based materials.However,the catalytic mechanism is still ambiguous,which hinders the further rational design of nanomaterials as enzyme mimics.Hereby,N,S-rich carbonized wool nanosheets(CWs)were synthesized at different pyrolysis temperatures.As expected,only CWs treated with high-temperature possess intrinsic oxidase-and peroxidase-like activities.Meanwhile,density functional theory(DFT)cal-culations demonstrate that graphitic nitrogen and the co-existence of nitrogen and sulfur in the carbon matrix serve as the active sites for the enzyme-like process.More importantly,combining theoretical calculations and experimental observations,the high-temperature triggered catalytic mechanism can be ascribed to the fact that an appropriate high-temperature maximizes the graphitization degree to a cer-tain extent,at which most of the catalytic active sites are well retained rather than evaporating.More-over,coupling with excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and catalytic performance,CWs can be applied to photothermal-catalytic cancer therapy under near-infrared region(NIR)light irradiation.We believe this work will contribute to understanding the catalytic mechanism of carbon-based nanozymes and promote the development of new biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
