Over the past decade, nanosized metal oxides, metals, and bimetallic particles have been actively researched as enzyme mimetic nanomaterials. However, common issues with individual nanoparticles (NPs) are stabilization, reproducibility, blocking of active sites by surfactants. These problems promote further studies composite materials, where NPs spread on supports, such graphene derivatives or dichalcogenide nanosheets. Another promising type support for is few-layered hexagonal boron...
