“…Photo oxidation by radicals (type I reaction), photo‐oxidation by singlet oxygen (type II reaction), and photoreactions without oxygen are the three primary types of reactions (type III reaction). Figure 4 illustrates the mechanisms of PDT [101–104] …”

“…Figure 4 illustrates the mechanisms of PDT. [101][102][103][104] The therapeutic efficiency of photosensitizers (PS) can be improved by surface functionalization. Depending on the structure and functional groups in the PS molecule, the loading mechanism of photosensitizers is clearly characterised.…”

“…[117] The capacity of graphene quantum dots to create singlet oxygen, in particular, can be used to kill dangerous bacteria and cancer cells. GQDs have been described as good theranostics agents for PDT due to their [103] outstanding physicochemical qualities, strong ROS production capability, and imaging property. Pure GQDs have a low PDT efficiency.…”

Early detection and treatment is a successful method to fight against cancer. The use of conventional methods often limits the early-stage detection of the same. Nanotechnology, especially nanomedicine, has become an evolving field in research today. Nanoparticles, with their diverse application in medicine, have grown tremendously. Despite their physicochemical properties, the toxicity of nanoparticles in living organisms has helped the scientific community develop these nanoparticles for cancer treatment. In this review, we highlight the two different types of synthesis of nanoparticles: Top-down and Bottom-up approaches, many instances of various techniques and other inorganic nanoparticles that are good platforms for bioimaging and biosensing applications, drug delivery nanocarriers for specific tumor targeting, thereby reducing the toxicity to healthy tissues and Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and Photo Thermal Therapy (PTT), their mechanism and nanoparticles and examples of their surface functionalization used in cancer treatment.

“…In alkaline media, glucose has been reported to transform to gluconic acid and some lower carbon-chain carboxylic acids 10,11 , all of which are excellent reducing agents. The production of these reducing agents will enhance the sensing capability of glucose solution, being now able to bind metal ions more easily [12][13][14] and form stronger organic bonds with functional groups such as carboxylic acid, phenol, thiol, alcohol and amine 15,16 under suitable conditions. Thus, exploring the potential of the alkaline glucose solution as a new sensor material may provide new information on the detection and quantification of inorganic and organic pollutants in water.…”
