In comparison to single enzymatic NZs, multi-enzymatic NZs have additional benefits, especially improved selectivity, a more favorable ecological impact, and synergistic effects. In contrast, the catalytic mechanism and rational design of multi-enzymatic NZs are more complex than those of single enzymatic NZs, which have simple catalytic mechanisms. NZs that can regulate cellular redox equilibrium by emulating the antioxidant enzymes in cells are particularly crucial towards alleviating ailments induced on by cellular oxidative stress. Carbonaceous materials i.e. graphene, fullerenes, quantum dots, carbon nano-sheets, nano-rods, MOFs etc. demonstrated peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT)-like functioning in a range of domains on the basis of oxidation mitigation mechanisms employing electron transport channels. Furthermore, integrating a couple of hetero-atoms to carbon-based materials enhanced their efficacy in various industries. NZs derived from bioactive materials demonstrate catalytic properties similar to those of enzymes. Bioactive material-based NZs are essential because of their unique catalytic properties, which surpass the efficiency, selectivity, and flexibility of traditional catalysts moreover, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional precursors in catalysis. Their surfaces can be precisely modified, opening up new possibilities for selective and green synthetic techniques. Bioactive materials-based NZs have exceptional biological activity and compatibility in the field of medicine, thus rendering them useful instruments for both diagnosis and therapy. Due to their innate capacity to imitate the catalytic functions of natural enzymes, they can be utilized to develop intricate bio-sensors, precise drug delivery systems, and extremely sensitive diagnostic platforms. Moreover, low cytotoxicity of these materials facilitates the easier integration of chemicals into biological systems. This review provided an overview of the multi-enzymatic activities of rationally designed carbon-based NMs, both the internal and external variables that regulate the multi-enzymatic enzymes endeavours, and current advancements in application areas which benefit from multi-enzymatic distinctive characteristics. Prospective uses and development of multi-enzymatic carbon-based NZs might confront multiple challenges. This review aims to stimulate and improve our understanding of multi-enzymatic carbon-based processes to a greater extent.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":801,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Catalysis","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139922146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CuO-based catalysts are promising alternatives to precious metal catalysts due to their acceptable activity and cost-effectiveness. However, there is an urgent need to further enhance their low-temperature activity and water resistance for industrial applications. Herein, CuO catalysts supported by various SiO₂-TiO₂ supports were prepared and evaluated for CO oxidation and NO reduction by CO reactions under the testing conditions with and without water. Among the studied catalysts with different SiO₂ contents, CuO/5SiO₂-TiO₂, in which CuO was supported by SiO₂-TiO₂ with 5 wt.% SiO₂, exhibited the best performance for CO oxidation. Compared with CuO/TiO₂ and CuO/SiO₂ reference catalysts, the CuO/5SiO₂-TiO₂ catalyst showed enhanced catalytic activity in both CO oxidation and NO reduction by CO under dry and wet conditions. Comprehensive characterizations revealed that the presence of SiO₂ in TiO₂ support facilitated the CuO/5SiO₂-TiO₂ catalyst with a high dispersion and reduced oxidation states of CuO_<em>x</em> species. This not only improved the low-temperature reducibility but also enhanced the adsorption of reactive CO species. As a result, the CuO/5SiO₂-TiO₂ catalyst demonstrated superior catalytic activity. Furthermore, the inclusion of SiO₂ in the catalyst inhibited H₂O adsorption, contributing to the enhanced water resistance on CuO/5SiO₂-TiO₂ catalyst.

The considerations are based on quasi-steady-state hypothesis and using elements of graph theory. The mathematical basis of the method used was developed by Lazman and Yablonsky [1], further considerations are presented in Yablonski et al. [2], Marin et al. [3]. The exemplary derivations of kinetic equations without simplifications are presented in the aforementioned works. The lack of assumptions allows consideration of all possible interactions between the reagents and the surface species, which is a pro of the method. However, the equation obtained usually has a complex form. Some of the parameters that result from theoretical considerations are simply insignificant for the real-world process. To eliminate this problem, the original procedure, based on statistical and process analysis, was employed. The previously determined kinetic equation, which does not have additional assumptions, was simplified. Statistical analysis helps to find and justify possible simplifications of the kinetic equation by eliminating insignificant parameters present in the kinetic equation and provides strong evidence for the correctness of the approach. The resulting kinetic equation indicates that the new proposed mechanism for the propene hydrogenation process that accepts reactions between adsorbed propene and gaseous hydrogen corresponds to the experiment. The residual sum of squares is significantly lower than those for the equations presented in the literature. The statistical test (the Akaike criterion) also indicates that the new model is better than the others. The results obtained indicate that the commonly applied approach based on the rate-determining step concept has become obsolete, apart from obvious cases.

The physicochemical characterizations of MOFs with and without Xyl were performed by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and EDAX techniques. Xyl@ZIF-67 and Xyl@Mn/ZIF-67 were evaluated in terms of optimum temperature, optimum pH, kinetic parameters, thermal stability, reusability as well as juice clarification and compared with free Xyl. Optimum temperature values were 50 °C for Xyl@ZIF-67 and 70 °C for free Xyl and Xyl@Mn/ZIF-67. Optimum pH values for free Xyl, Xyl@ZIF-67, and Xyl@Mn/ZIF-67 were recorded as 6.0, 8.0, and 7.0, respectively.
