Atomic Chromium Coordinated Graphitic Carbon Nitride for Bioinspired Antibiofouling in Seawater.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Artificial nanozymes exerting enzyme functionality are recognized as promising alternatives of natural enzymes in biomimetic chemistry. Natural haloperoxidases that utilize hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to catalytically convert halide into strong biocidal hypohalous acid hold great promise for thwarting biofouling, while their practical application remains highly questionable as instability of natural enzymes and inadequate H2 O2 . Herein a semiconducting nanozyme consisting of chromium single atoms coordinated on carbon nitride (Cr-SA-CN) that performs bifunctional roles of nonsacrificial H2 O2 photosynthesis and haloperoxidase-mimicking activity for antibiofouling is constructed. Such nanozyme is capable of generating H2
