This work is inspired by oysters converting worthless sand into precious pearls. In article number 2000553, Chen Wang and co‐workers present the “trash into treasure” process, which efficiently promotes antibacterial therapy and wound healing. The confinement effect of 2D Al‐metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) maintains gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as ultrasmall without gathering and makes them exhibit excellent peroxidase‐like activity. The ultrasmall AuNPs/MOFs nanozymes representing oysters convert H 2 O 2 symbolizing grains of sand into ·OH symbolizing valuable pearls.
