Light-responsive nanomaterials with pro-oxidant and anti-oxidant activity

Nanomaterials are capable of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to defect-induced electronic interactions with and water stimulated by environmental structural factors (e.g., photonic energy, band edge morphology) resulting in excellent pro-oxidant activity nanomaterials. The activities demonstrated the antibacterial nanomaterials under different conditions varying light levels). This review examines research related metallic, non-metallic, metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), their composites. Moreover, there is a scavenging phenomenon for that manifests itself as inhibition ROS (i.e., anti-oxidant activity) which also dependent on property nanomaterials, examined. These experience crossover between depending concentration, morphology, etc., offers potential application cancer therapy inflammatory disease treatment.
