Niobium nanoparticles (NbNPs) have gained attention as promising materials in biomedical applications due to their exceptional biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and versatility. These offer potential drug delivery, imaging, tissue engineering, where nanoscale properties allow precise interactions with biological systems. Among niobium-based nanomaterials, niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) is the most extensively studied its chemical stability, bioactivity, optical properties. Nb2O5 shown significant catalysis, biosensing, photodynamic therapy, stability reactivity make them ideal for functionalization advanced applications. Despite these advantages, challenges remain regarding biodegradability long-term retention of NbNPs Their accumulation tissues can lead risks such chronic inflammation or toxicity, emphasizing importance designing controlled clearance biodegradability. Surface modifications, coatings biocompatible polymers, demonstrated ability mitigate while enhancing therapeutic efficacy. This review provides a comprehensive overview NbNPs, focus on Nb2O5, highlighting unique properties, current applications, limitations. By addressing remaining challenges, this work aims guide development safer more effective nanomaterials future medical innovations.
