Palladium concave nanocrystals with high-index facets accelerate ascorbate oxidation in cancer treatment

The therapeutic efficiency of ascorbate is limited by its slow autoxidation. Here, the authors show the application of concave-structured palladium nanocrystals for the treatment of colorectal cancer through the oxidation of ascorbate, enhancing the production of oxidative stresses specifically on c...
