Antibacterial dynamic therapy (ADT) triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is promising for diabetic infectious disease treatment. However, the limited local O 2 /H 2 O 2 production and post-treatment inflammation remain long-standing issues. To address these challenges, a novel H 2 -evolving bio-heterojunction enzyme (Bio-HJzyme) consisting of graphite-phase carbon nitride/copper sulfide (CN/Cu 2-x S) heterojunction and glucose oxidase (GOx) is created. The Bio-HJzyme offers glutathione peroxidase (GPx), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) mimetic activities; provides anti-pathogen properties via programmed light activation; and effectively promotes diabetic wound healing. Specifically, its GPx-mimetic activity and the presence of GOx significantly enhance the yield of H 2 O 2 , which can be catalyzed through POD-mimetic activity to produce highly germicidal •OH. The H 2 O 2 can also be catalyzed to H 2 O and O 2 , assisted by the CAT-mimetic activity. The catalyzed products can then be catalyzed into germicidal •OH and •O 2 - under NIR light irradiation, giving enhanced ADT. Further, CN can split water to form H 2 under solar light, which dramatically suppresses the inflammation caused by excessive ROS. In vivo evaluation confirms that Bio-HJzyme promotes the regeneration of diabetic infectious skin through killing bacteria, enhancing angiogenesis, promoting wound bed epithelialization, and reinforcing anti-inflammatory responses; hence, providing a revolutionary approach for diabetic wounds healing.
