Their catalytic performance not only makes them adept at detecting pollutants but also positions them as potent tools for the removal of various contaminants, such as heavy metal ions; organic compounds, including antibiotics, dyes, phenolics, pesticides, and nano?/microplastics; and pathogens. A comprehensive analysis of nanozyme types, utilization in the detection and degradation of environmental pollutants, and mechanism were discussed, focusing on the recent advancements. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
