So far, diverse degradation treatment processes have been explored; enzyme-assisted methodologies have been recognized as greener, safer, less expensive, and eco-friendly alternatives. However, the limited reusability and instability of natural enzymes under typical harsh environmental conditions significantly hinder applicability. Thus, different strategies have emerged, such as the design of engineered modified enzymes, the immobilization of enzymes on nanomaterials, and the development of artificial enzymes. Nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities have emerged as artificial enzymatic tools that catalytically degrade toxic pollutants. Recent studies have reported excellent performances of enzymes in the removal of emerging contaminants.
