Eco-nanozymology, as an emerging interdisciplinary field, integrates nanotechnology with principles of enzymology to offer innovative strategies for energy conversion and environmental remediation. In contrast with conventional enzymology, eco-nanozymology enhances catalytic efficiency through the precise regulation of interfacial microstructures, electronic distributions, active site configurations, multienzyme cascade catalysis, and functionalized carrier engineering. By harnessing and amplifying natural ecological processes, eco-nanozymology enables effective modulation of energy flow and material cycling within ecosystems. This review focuses on recent advances in the application of eco-nanozymology across energy-related domains, including nitrogen fixation, carbon fixation, methane oxidation, hydrogen production, and energy conversion devices. It further provides an in-depth analysis of the recent progress in the efficient degradation of environmental pollutants and resource-oriented valorization of low-value biomass, such as lignin, agricultural residues, livestock manure, and microplastics. These studies highlight the pivotal role of eco-nanozymology in enhancing the efficiency of environmental management, accelerating the development of green energy technologies, and advancing carbon neutrality goals. The continued development of eco-nanozymology is expected to open new horizons for the deepening and expansion of nanozyme applications, offering green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable technological pathways to address global energy and environmental challenges.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage, yet their development is severely hindered by the interfacial instability of zinc anodes. Distinct from strategies employing pre-formed polymers, this work proposes an innovative monomer-induced in situ interface engineering strategy. By leveraging the preferential adsorption of acrylamide monomers on the Zn surface, a locally high-concentration region is created, which subsequently enables the in situ construction of a stable hydrated network interphase (HNI) triggered synergistically by Zn²⁺ and SO₄²⁻ during electrochemical cycling. The HNI precisely regulates Zn deposition via a triple synergistic mechanism: Lewis acid–base coordination (C = O···Zn²⁺) provides fixed nucleation sites; dynamically anchored SO₄²⁻ within the interphase forms negatively charged microregions that homogenize Zn²⁺ flux via Coulombic repulsion; and a dense hydrogen-bonding network effectively confines free water and suppresses side reactions. Benefiting from this multifunctional interphase, the Zn//Zn symmetric cell achieves an ultra-long cycling life of 8650 h (over 360 days) at 1 mA cm⁻² with excellent reproducibility, the Zn//Ti cell delivers a high average Coulombic efficiency of 99.71% at 5 mA cm⁻². The Zn//I₂ full cell retains 89.15% of its capacity after 12,000 cycles. This work provides a novel paradigm for interfacial construction toward high-performance zinc metal anodes.

Researchers have proposed a new air-electrode design principle that could significantly improve the performance of reversible solid oxide cells (RSOCs), which can store surplus electricity generated from renewable energy as hydrogen and convert it back into electricity when needed.
