High surface area nitrogen-functionalized Ni nanozymes for efficient peroxidase-like catalytic activity.

Nitrogen-functionalization is an effective means of improving the catalytic performances of nanozymes. In the present work, plasma-assisted nitrogen modification of nanocolumnar Ni GLAD films was performed using an ammonia plasma, resulting in an improvement in the peroxidase-like catalytic performa...
