Application and prospect of antimonene: A new two-dimensional nanomaterial in cancer theranostics

With the rise of two-dimensional nanomaterials in medicine, finding suitable materials has become our top priority. Since the first report of antimonene in 2015, due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, it has gradually attracted widespread attention, including its application prospects in cancer treatment. In this paper, the preparation, stability and infrared degradability of antimonene, as well as its experimental examples in tumor treatment in recent years are reviewed, the latest research results are listed and summarized, the advantages and existing problems are analyzed, and the future of antimonene in tumor therapy is prospected.
