The near-infrared-II (NIR-II) fluorescence thermometer based on rare earth-doped double perovskite is rarely. Herein, Er 3+ -Ho 3+ and Yb 3+ co-doped lead-free double perovskite La 2 MgTiO 6 (LMTO) phosphors were synthesized by a conventional high temperature solid phase method. The phase purity and morphology of the samples were analyzed using XRD and FE-SEM. The NIR-II luminescence properties of LMTO: Er 3+ -Ho 3+ -Yb 3+ phosphors were systematically investigated under laser irradiation at 980 nm. A NIR-II fluorescence thermometer was also designed based on non-thermal coupled energy levels originated from the 4 I 13/2 energy level of Er 3+ and the 5 I 6 energy level of Ho 3+ . The maximum value of relative sensitivity (S r ) was 0.54 % at 513 K. Compared to visible thermometers (LMTO: Er 3+ -Yb 3+ and LMTO: Ho 3+ -Yb 3+ ), the NIR-II thermometers offer better temperature measurement capability and penetration depth. All the experimental results show that the NIR-II thermometer with a wider range and higher sensitivity has been realized, which puts forward a new idea for the design and optimization of NIR-II thermometers.

It is essential to develop novel multifunctional and easily synthesized stable NIR-II fluorescent probes to guide photothermal therapy for tumors. Here, we propose a new strategy to construct boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) J-aggregates by intermolecular hydrogen bonding (H-bond) and π-π stacking interactions to achieve fluorescence emission in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm). A novel meso -benzamide galactose hexanoate-BODIPY (Gal-OH-BDP) amphiphilic small molecular dye was synthesized and it formed nanoparticles spontaneously in aqueous solution with a maximum emission wavelength near 1060 nm, which works as a smart nanomedicine for targeting NIR-II imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) of hepatocellular carcinoma. Galactose not only provided hydrogen bonds to regulate the aggregation pattern of the molecules but also effectively targeted hepatocellular carcinoma cells and promoted the formation of well-dispersed nanoparticles of dye molecules due to their hydrophilicity . Moreover, due to high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE = 55%), Gal-OH-BDP NPs achieve galactose-targeted NIR-II imaging and PTT, which is important for the precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors ( Scheme 1 ). In the present research work, H-bond was introduced for the first time into BODIPY for building J-aggregates to achieve the NIR-II fluorescence.

Photothermal therapy has a remarkable effect on the destruction of tumors. It kills tumor cells by photothermal ablation and induces immunogenic cell death by activating the immune response in tumor tissues. However, inhibition of the tumor immune microenvironment suppresses PTT-induced body-specific anti-tumor immunity. In this study, we designed the GdOF@PDA-HA-R837-hydrogel complex to achieve NIR-II imaging-guided photothermal ablation and enhanced immune response. Due to the doping of Yb and Er elements and the presence of a polydopamine coating, the synthesized nanoparticles enable NIR-II and photoacoustic imaging of tumor tissues, which will help in the integration of multimodal tumor imaging for diagnosis and treatment. Polydopamine is used as a photothermal agent and drug carrier because of its excellent photothermal ability and high drug loading capacity under 808 nm near infrared light. Hyaluronic acid can bind to specific receptors on the surface of cancer cells, allowing nanoparticles to aggregate around the tumor, thus enhancing the targeting ability of nanoparticles. In addition, imiquimod (R837) has been used as an immune response modulator to enhance the immunotherapeutic effect. The presence of a hydrogel enhanced the retention effect of nanoparticles in the tumor. We demonstrate that the combination of photothermal therapy with immune adjuvants effectively induces ICD, which in turn stimulates the activation of specific anti-tumor immunity and enhances the effect of photothermal therapy in vivo.

mRNA vaccines have been widely implemented and revolutionized the landscape of oncology and epidemiology. Potent vaccination demands precise control over injection depth to ensure optimal lymphatic drainage, driving the development of non-invasive imaging techniques to visualize the distribution and efficacy of mRNA vaccines. Herein, near-infrared-II (NIR-II) lipid nanoparticles (NIR-II-LNPs) are fabricated for mRNA delivery by integrating a cationic fluorophore amphiphile (IR780-C16) into traditional LNPs, enabling longitudinal, quantitative, and non-invasive trafficking of mRNA vaccines. The in vivo behaviors of mRNA vaccines are characterized with different vaccination protocols in mice and rabbits by NIR-II fluorescence imaging. Results proved that following a 25 µL injection of mRNA vaccines into the mouse thigh at a depth of 4 mm or a 500 µL injection volume into a rabbit at a depth of 7 mm via the intramuscular route, the vaccines rapidly and abundantly accumulated in the inguinal lymph nodes. Flow cytometry and tissue immunofluorescence analyses further validated that optimized vaccination parameters effectively activated antitumor immunity and greatly boosted the therapeutic efficacy in B16-OVA and HPV-associated mouse tumor models. NIR-II-LNPs offer a unique modality for non-invasively monitoring the fate of vaccines, reinforcing its role in preclinical and clinical mRNA therapeutics.

Complete excision of the last remaining 1–2% of tumor tissue without collateral damage remains particularly challenging. Herein, we report thiophenthiadiazole (TTD)-derived fluorophores L6-PEGnk (n = 1, 2, 5) as new-generation NIR-II (1000–1700 nm) probes with exceptional nonfouling performance and significantly high fluorescence quantum yields in water. L6-PEG2k can self-assemble into vesicular micelles and exhibited minimal immunogenicity, low binding affinities, ultralong blood circulation (t1/2 = 59.5 h), and a supercontrast ratio in vivo. Most importantly, L6-PEG2k achieved excellent in vivo CT-26 and U87MG tumor targeting and accumulation (>20 d) through intraperitoneal or intravenous injection. A subcutaneous U87MG tumor and orthotopic brain glioma were successfully resected under NIR-II FIGS in our animal model via intraperitoneal injection in an extended time window (48–144 h). This study highlights the potential of using L6-PEG2K as self-assembling molecular probes with long-circulation persistence for routine preoperative tumor assessment and precise intraoperative image-guided resection.

Near-infared phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (NIR pc-LEDs) are next-generation NIR light sources due to their long life, low cost, and compactness. Unfortunately, there is a lack of efficient NIR-II phosphors with high efficiency and large full width at half-maximum (fwhm) that can be excited by violet LED. Here, a series of Cr3+/Ni2+-codoped LiAlSiO4 with unprecedented emission peaking at 1150 nm (∼1000–1400 nm, fwmh ∼191 nm) were synthesized via a solid-state reaction. More importantly, the phosphors exhibit high efficiency and excellent thermal stability under violet emission excitation. Moreover, the NIR pc-LED devices as a NIR-II light source have been fabricated through a combination violet LED and optimized LiAlSiO4:Cr3+/Ni2+ phosphors, which are well applied to high-penetration imaging and nondestructive fruit damage inspection. These results indicate that the LiAlSiO4:Cr3+/Ni2+ phosphors have great potential applications as NIR light sources.

Nanocarriers hold great promise for the controlled release of therapeutic payloads to target organs/tissues and extended duration of anticancer agents in the bloodstream. However, limited data on their in vivo pharmacokinetics and delivery process hamper clinical applications. Here we report a series of micellar nanocarriers self-assembled from new-generation thiophenthiadiazole (TTD)-based NIR-II fluorophores HLAnP ( n = 1–4) for simultaneous bioimaging and drug delivery. The NIR-II HLA4P nanocarrier displays exceptional non-fouling performance, minimal immunogenicity, ultralong blood half-life, and high tumor accumulation even with different administration routes. When used as a drug carrier, HLA4P with encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX) realized accurate tumor targeting and continuous real-time in vivo NIR-II tracking of drug delivery and therapy, showing a sustained release rate, improved therapeutic effect, and diminished cardiotoxicity as compared to free DOX. This study provides a new perspective on the design of dual-functional NIR-II fluorophores for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

The development of phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) represents an important, newly emerging, and dynamic field in NIR spectroscopy. Unfortunately, lacking efficient NIR-II phosphors that can be excited by commercial blue LED chips impedes NIR spectroscopy applications. Herein, a donor–acceptor strategy is developed by introducing Cr 3+ sensitizers to greatly enhance the blue-light excitation efficiency of NIR-II-emitting MgO:Cr 3+ ,Ni 2+ phosphor. Consequently, a high-efficiency blue-light-excitable MgO:Cr 3+ ,Ni 2+ phosphor that gives a NIR-II emission at 1335 nm with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 235 nm, is demonstrated. The product has a high internal quantum efficiency of 92.7 % and excellent thermal stability, maintaining 83.0 % of the room temperature emission intensity at 150 °C. Excitingly, the fabricated NIR-II pc-LED device shows a high NIR-II optical power (27.4 mW@350 mA). The performances of the achieved NIR-II pc-LED are almost the best results until now. Additionally, multifunctional applications including nondestructive detection and anti-counterfeiting of the NIR-II light source are demonstrated. These results are pretty crucial for the further development of NIR-II spectroscopy and imaging technology.

Background Photothermal therapy (PTT) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window has attracted extensive attention due to the benefits in high maximum permissible exposure and penetration depth. Current photothermal agents generally show a broadband absorption accompanied by a gradual attenuation of absorption in the NIR-II window, leading to poor effect of PTT. It remains a great challenge to gain photothermal agents with strong and characteristic absorption in NIR-II regions. To overcome this problem, based on carbon dots (CDs)-mediated growth strategy, we proposed a simple and feasible approach to prepare plasmonic gold nanodendrites (AuNDs) with NIR-II absorption to enhance the therapeutic effect of PTT. Results By rationally regulating the size and branch length of AuNDs, the AuNDs exhibited a broadband absorption from 300 to 1350 nm, with two characteristic absorption peaks located at 1077 and 1265 nm. The AuNDs demonstrated desired optical photothermal conversion efficiency (38.0%), which was further applied in NIR-II photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and PTT in human colon cancer cells (HCT 116)-tumor-bearing mice model. The tumor cells could be effectively eliminated in vivo under 1064 nm laser irradiation by the guidance of PAI. Conclusions We reported a simple but powerful synthetic method to obtain the unique AuNDs with strong and characteristic absorption peaks in the NIR-II window. This study provides a promising solution to tuning the growth of nanoparticles for bioimaging and phototherapy in the NIR-II window. Graphical Abstract

Physiological processes and bacterial infection can be effectively monitored using multiplexed imaging in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II). In this study, we design two lanthanide-doped core-shell (cs) nanoparticles , NaYF 4 :Nd,Yb@NaYF 4 (csNd,Yb) with 980 and 1060 nm emission under 808 nm excitation, and NaYF 4 :Yb,Er,Ce@NaYF 4 (csYb,Er,Ce) with 1525 nm emission under 980 nm excitation. The NIR-II emission spectra of the two nanoparticles do not overlap. XRD characterization shows that the nanoparticles have good crystallinity . The nanoparticles are surface modified with vancomycin (Van) and polymyxin B (PMB), which can respectively target Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria for specific imaging and bacteria differentiation. In vitro experiments confirm that csNd,Yb-PMB and csYb,Er,Ce-Van can be used to detect different types of bacteria. In vivo simultaneous multiplexed NIR-II imaging of Gram-positive/negative bacterial infection is demonstrated. The good biocompatibility of the nanoprobes is demonstrated by MTT assay, monitoring the distribution in major organs at different times, and histological analysis .

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is hampered by limited light penetration depth and cell thermoresistance induced by over-expressed heat shock proteins (HSPs). Herein, we proposed a tumor-specific enhanced NIR-II PTT through the starvation mediated thermal sensitization strategy. A semiconducting polymer with superior NIR-II fluorescence imaging (FI) performance and NIR-II PTT efficacy was synthesized and encapsulated into folate modified liposomes , together with a glycolysis inhibitor, 2-deoxy- d -glucose (2DG). Upon specifically targeting folate receptors and guidance of NIR-II FI, spatiotemporal 2DG release could be achieved by the trigger of NIR-II photothermal effect. The released 2DG could not only deplete the energy supply of tumor cells by inhibiting tumor anaerobic glycolysis , but also decrease the ATP levels and hamper the production of HSPs, ultimately enhancing the tumor thermal sensitivity toward PTT. Owing to the sensitization effect of 2DG, tumor cells with overexpressed folate receptors could be significantly damaged by NIR-II PTT with an enhanced therapeutic efficiency. The work provided a promising strategy for specific starvation/NIR-II PTT synergistic therapy towards tumors.

Developing new strategies to enhance drug accumulation in the tumor and therapeutic efficacy is of great importance in the field of tumor therapy. Herein, a peanut-like multifunctional nanomedicine (CuS-PGH NMs) made of CuS nanoparticles encapsulated in poly(L-lysine)(PLL)/glucose oxidase (GOx)-hyaluronic acid (HA) shells has been constructed via layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly, and shows good biocompatibility and effective multi-gradient therapy. Because of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, the CuS-PGH NMs could significantly enhance the cellular uptake by tumors overexpressing CD44 receptors, which respond to hyaluronidase (HAase)-triggered surface charge conversion. Once internalized by the tumor, GOx was the first to be exposed and could effectively deplete endogenous glucose for starvation therapy, and the excess H2O2 was then converted into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) via a Cu+-mediated Fenton-like reaction for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Meanwhile, the as-obtained Cu+ ions accompanied the regenerated less-active Cu2+ ions. Interestingly, the high content of H2O2 could, in turn, accelerate Cu2+/Cu+ conversion to promote the Cu+–H2O2 reaction for enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT), thereby achieving efficient tumor growth suppression via synergistic starvation/CDT therapy. Subsequently, owing to the strong NIR-II absorption capability of CuS-PGH NMs, effective photothermal tumor ablation of the weakened tumor cells could be realized with the precise guidance of NIR-II PAI. This multi-gradient therapeutic strategy has been demonstrated to have excellent antitumor activity with minimal nonspecific damages, and offers a new avenue to precise tumor therapy.
