Artificial Peroxidase of Hemin or Copper(II) Ion on Carbon Nanomaterial

摘要

This review highlights recent progress of metal-graphene conjugates which catalyze sophisticated conversion reactions by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Hemin supported by graphene accelerates the oxidation of pyrogallol to purpurogallin with high catalytic activity. Copper (II) ions on graphene oxide promote the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome. In these reactions, carbon nanomaterials are necessary and notably activate these metal ions.
