The significant expansion of nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine has led to the development of innovative and effective techniques to combat various pathogens, demonstrating promising results with fewer adverse effects. Metal peroxide nanoparticles stand out among the crucial yet often overlooked types of nanomaterials, including metals. These nanoparticles are key in producing oxygen (O) and hydrogen peroxide (HO) through simple chemical reactions, which are vital in treating various diseases.

Natural PSs have a similar action to that of commercial PSs, where cancer cell death occurs by necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagy through ROS generation. Natural PSs have garnered great interest over the last few decades because of their high biocompatibility and good photoactivity.

The transformations are all achieved while retaining an 8-electron superatomic configuration.
