Black phosphorus (BP)-based nanomaterials have distinguished advantages and potential applications in various biomedical fields. However, their biological effects in physiological systems remain largely unexplored. Here, we systematically revealed a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated mechanism for the selective killing of cancer cells by BP-based nanosheets. The treatment with BP-based materials can induce higher levels of ROS in cancer cells than in normal cells, leading to significant changes in the cytoskeleton, cell cycle arrest, DNA damage, and apoptosis in tumor cell lines. We revealed that the decreased superoxide dismutase activity by lipid peroxides could be an essential mechanism of the selectively higher ROS generation induced by BP-based nanosheets in cancer cells. In addition, the selective killing effect only occurred within a certain dosage range (named "SK range" in this study). Once exceeding the SK range, BP-based materials could also induce a high ROS production in normal tissues, leading to detectable DNA damage and pathological characteristics in normal organs and raising safety concerns. These findings not only shed light on a new mechanism for the selective killing of cancer cells by BP-based materials but also provide deep insights into the safe use of BP-based therapies.
