Cancer nanotechnology is a promising area of cross-disciplinary research aiming to develop facile, effective, and noninvasive strategies improve cancer diagnosis treatment. Catalytic therapy based on exogenous stimulus-responsive semiconductor nanomaterials has shown its potential address the challenges under most global medical needs. Semiconductor nanocatalytic usually triggered by catalytic action hot electrons holes during local redox reactions within tumor, which represent response nontoxic nanocatalysts pertinent internal or external stimuli. However, careful architecture design been major focus since efficiency often limited facile electron/hole recombination. Addressing these vital for progress therapy. In recent years, diverse have developed, with heterojunctions emerging as prominent extensively explored method. The charge separation stimulation can be heightened manipulating semiconducting performance materials through heterojunction structures, thereby enhancing capabilities. This review summarizes applications nanoheterojunctions theranostics. first part outlines construction different types. next section designs, properties, mechanisms various in tumor concludes discussing providing insights into their prospects this dynamic continuously evolving field research.
