Advanced strategies for surface modifications of manganese oxide nanoparticles for cancer diagnosis and therapy

Abstract

Manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnOx NPs) are a versatile class of redox-active nanomaterials that are attracting increasing attention for applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy due to their exceptional properties such as high specific surface area, a high fraction of surface atoms, biocompatibility, and excellent redox properties. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of fundamental principles in the design, synthesis, and surface modification of MnOx-based NPs. We examine the most recent progress regarding the sustainable production of MnOx NPs, whilst also highlighting their applications in critical environmental and energy related fields. Recent advances in nanotechnology ha..
