Recently, because of the great advances in tailoring their shape and structure, palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) have been receiving increasing attention in biomedical fields apart from their traditional application as industrial catalysts. When considering the potential uses of Pd NPs in biomedicine, their catalytic properties need to be evaluated under physiologically relevant conditions. In this article, we demonstrate that Pd nanostructures (NSs, both commercial Pd NPs and in-house-prepared Au@Pd nanorods) can induce O2 or ˙OH production depending on pH values in the presence of H2O2. We observed that O2 is produced under neutral and alkaline conditions but ˙OH under acidic conditions. We also found that Pd NSs can scavenge superoxide and singlet oxygen, which may provide protection in biological systems. On the other hand, their oxidase-like activity may accelerate the oxidation of ascorbic acid and thus may produce negative biological effects. The presented study will provide useful guidance for designing noble metal nanostructures with desired catalytic and biological properties in biomedical applications.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
