Two-Dimensional Nanomaterial-based catalytic Medicine: Theories, advanced catalyst and system design.

Two-dimensional nanomaterial-based catalytic medicines that associate the superiorities of novel catalytic mechanisms with nanotechnology have emerged as absorbing therapeutic strategies for cancer therapy. Catalytic medicines featuring high efficiency and selectivity have been widely used as effective anticancer strategies without applying traditional nonselective and highly toxic chemodrugs. Moreover, two-dimensional nanomaterials are characterized by distinctive physicochemical properties, such as a sizeable bandgap, good conductivity, fast electron transfer and photoelectrochemical activity. The introduction of two-dimensional nanomaterials into catalytic medicine provides a more effective, controllable, and precise antitumor strategy. In this review, different types of two-dimensional nanomaterial-based catalytic nanomedicines are generalized, and their catalytic theories, advanced catalytic pathways and catalytic nanosystem design are also discussed in detail. Notably, future challenges and obstacles in the design and further clinical transformation of two-dimensional nanomaterial-based catalytic nanomedicine are prospected.
