Abstract

Transition metal-based nanoparticles have attracted more and more attention in biomedicine, owing to their special characteristics that arise from finite-size and surface effects, like intense and broad light absorption, strong oxidation ability, catalytic activity, and robust mechanical properties. In article number 20200154, Nan Li, Jinping Wang and their co-workers summarize in detail the mechanism and advantages of three main shape categories of anisotropic transition metal-based nanomaterials in biomedical applications, including one-dimension (1D, e.g., nanowire), two-dimension (2D, e.g., nanosheet), and three-dimension (3D, e.g., nanorod, nanocube, and nanoflower) anisotropic shape. In addition, the critical challenges and prospects of this field will be also proposed and discussed.
