Abstract

A dual-cell device has been designed as an oxidase-like mimic with the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine as a model reaction. This dual-cell device could be also used to study oxidase-like nanozymes. It was found that only the catalytic sites for oxygen reduction are essential and necessary for oxidase-like nanozymes.
