The emergence of nanozymes
Academician Yan Xiyun’s team first reported the intrinsic enzyme-like activity of iron oxide nanoparticles, establishing a foundation for the field.
NanoZymBio Technology (Zhengzhou) Co., Ltd. develops nanozyme catalysts and process know-how for biomass processing, with an initial focus on molded fiber packaging and paper applications.
Our technology originated at the Nanozyme Laboratory in Zhongyuan (NLZ), Zhengzhou, China, led by Academician Yan Xiyun of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In 2026, the core team founded NanoZymBio to industrialize nanozyme-based biomanufacturing, with support from the Zhengzhou Industrial Technology Research Institute.

Our next development step is the effective separation of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose, turning more of each biomass feedstock into useful products.
Available for partner trials in molded fiber, packaging paper and board.
Routes for fermentation feedstock, resins and adhesives are being developed with partners.
Development opportunities include xylo-oligosaccharides and barrier coatings.
