Abstract
With the attractive merits of good stability, easy large-scale preparation, low cost, and tailorable catalytic performance, nanozymes have experienced a rapid development period in the past few years. Especially, nanomaterials with not only the enzyme-like catalytic feature but also other optical, electrical and magnetic characteristics have found great promise in the biochemical sensing community. These multifunctional nanozymes can play versatile roles to advance the analytical chemistry field. In this chapter, currently explored nanozymes with optical, electrical and magnetic properties or acting as potential carriers are summarized in detail. Their typical applications in the field of biochemical analysis are emphatically introduced. Future prospects and challenges of multifunctional nanozymes for biochemical sensing are also discussed.
