Abstract

Abstract : Black phosphorus (BP) has been proven to be biocompatible and biodegradable. Martin Pumera and co‐workers report on synthesis of BP nanoparticles (BP NPs) and apply them in targeted drug delivery of platinum‐based antineoplastic in article number 1701955 . BP NPs can load investigated platinum agents on their surfaces, can transfer the therapeutic cargo, and can combine their effect with the anticancer effect of oxaliplatin.
