A dopamine-induced Au hydrogel nanozyme for enhanced biomimetic catalysis

Au hydrogel with a well-defined nanowire network was rationally designed through one-step dopamine-induced self-assembly. Due to the porous nanostructure along with the polydopamine induced accumulation and interfacial electron transfer effects, the resulting Au hydrogel nanozyme exhibits enhanced glucose oxidase-like activity and peroxidase-like activity, with a biomimetic cascade catalysis.
