Orthogonally self-sorted hydrogels with pathway-dependent morphology guide bimetallic nanozyme formation

Key Points

• This study investigates how specific building blocks can self-sort into hydrogels that facilitate bimetallic nanozyme formation.
• Utilized bioinspired supramolecular building blocks for hydrogel formation.
• Examined the effects of spatially resolved coassembly on morphology and functionality.
• Analyzed the resulting nanozymes for their catalytic activity.
• Successfully formed hydrogels with distinct morphologies based on the assembly pathway.
• Demonstrated enhanced catalytic properties of the bimetallic nanozymes compared to their monometallic counterparts.
• Observed a direct correlation between hydrogel morphology and nanozyme efficiency.
