Single-atom Au catalyst loaded on CeO2: A novel single-atom nanozyme electrochemical H2O2 sensor

Owing to the maximum utilization efficiency of the metal atoms, single-atom catalysts (SACs), which have higher catalytic activity and selectivity than traditional nanocatalysts, have been used as sensing materials for signal amplification and sensitive detection of biomolecules. Recently, single-at...
