Magnetostrictive-piezocatalytic CoFe2O4@UiO-66 nanohybrid and its potential for deep-seated tumor treatment

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 18;60(33):4463-4466. doi: 10.1039/d4cc00885e.

Abstract

Magnetostrictive CoFe2O4 (CFO) nanoparticles were encapsulated within a UiO-66 metal-organic-framework layer to form a CFO@UiO-66 nanohybrid. The deforming of CFO, in response to a high-frequency AC magnetic field, initiates the piezocatalytic property of UiO-66 to generate ˙OH radicals, which can kill cancer cells buried in thick tissues, showcasing bright potential for deep-seated tumor treatment.
