- IISc Scientists have developed a new type of enzyme mimetic that can degrade toxic chemicals in industrial wastewater effectively in the presence of sunlight.
- The IISc team synthesised a platinum-containing nanozyme called NanoPtA, which can be converted into powder form for industrial use.
- The team found that the nanozyme could degrade even small (micromolar) quantities of common effluents like phenols and dyes within ten minutes when placed under sunlight.
- Also, the NanoPtA complex was quite stable, lasting for up to 75 days at room temperature.
