Abstract

In nature, enzymatic reactions occur in well-functioning catalytic pockets, where substrates bind and react by properly arranging the catalytic sites and amino acids in a three-dimensional (3D) space. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) are a new type of nanozymes with active sites similar to those of natural metalloenzymes. However, the catalytic centers in current SAzymes are two-dimensional (2D) architectures and the lack of collaborative substrate-binding features limits their catalytic activity. Herein, we report a dimensionality engineering strategy to convert conventional 2D Fe–N-4 centers into 3D structures by integrating oxidized sulfur functionalities onto the carbon plane. Our results suggest that…
