The biodegradability of multi-layer fullerenes or carbon nano-onions (CNOs) is possible by treating with the human myeloperoxidase (hMPO) isolated from the neutrophils present in the blood. The spectroscopic and microscopic techniques confirm the biodegradation of CNOs by hMPO and UV-assisted photo-Fenton reaction. These results are highly useful in designing the biomedical applications of CNOs such as drug delivery and bioimaging.

人髓过氧化物酶和光芬顿法对碳纳米洋葱的生物降解性

通过用从血液中的中性粒细胞中分离出的人髓过氧化物酶（hMPO）进行处理，可以实现多层富勒烯或碳纳米洋葱（CNO）的生物降解性。光谱和显微技术证实了 hMPO 和紫外线辅助光芬顿反应对 CNO 的生物降解作用。这些结果对于设计 CNO 的生物医学应用（例如药物输送和生物成像）非常有用。
