Mimicking Peroxidase Carboxyl‐functionalized nanocarbon oxides, including fullerene oxide C 61 (COOH) 2 , graphene oxides, and carbon nanotube oxides, possess great peroxidase‐like activity, which is used in detecting glucose and occult. The catalytic ability of nanocarbon oxides is superior to that of native enzyme horseradish peroxidase. Density functional calculations revealed that the aromatic domain of nanocarbon oxide is essential to the peroxidase‐like activity. For more details, see the Communication by R. Zhao, X. Zhao, and X. Gao on page 960 ff.
