description Adhesive hydrogels have broad applications ranging from tissue engineering to bioelectronics; however, fabricating adhesive hydrogels with multiple functions remains a challenge. In this study, a mussel-inspired tannic acid chelated-Ag (TA-Ag) nanozyme with peroxidase (POD)-like activity was designed by the in situ reduction of ultrasmall Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with TA. The ultrasmall TA-Ag nanozyme exhibited high catalytic activity to induce hydrogel self-setting without external aid. The nanozyme retained abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups and maintained the dynamic redox balance of phenol-quinone, providing the hydrogels with long-term and repeatable adhesiveness, similar to the adhesion of mussels. The phenolic hydroxyl groups also afforded uniform distribution of the nanozyme in the hydrogel network, thereby improving its mechanical properties and conductivity. Furthermore, the nanozyme endowed the hydrogel with antibacterial activity through synergistic effects of the reactive oxygen species generated via POD-like catalytic reactions and the intrinsic bactericidal activity of Ag. Owing to these advantages, the ultrasmall TA-Ag nanozyme-catalyzed hydrogel could be effectively used as an adhesive, antibacterial, and implantable bioelectrode to detect bio-signals, and as a wound dressing to accelerate tissue regeneration while preventing infection. Therefore, this study provides a promising approach for the fabrication of adhesive hydrogel bioelectronics with multiple functions via mussel-inspired nanozyme catalysis.
