Recently, the near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000–1350 nm) region has been extensively applied in deep-tissue photothermal therapy (PTT) on account of it having stronger tissue penetration and a higher maximum permissible exposure (MPE) than the near-infrared-I (NIR-I, 650–950 nm) region. In this study, we developed a rapid and convenient in situ polymerization strategy to fabricate polypyrrole nanosheets (PPy NSs) within a few minutes using manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2NSs) as both the oxidant and the self-sacrificed template. The fabricated PPy NSs exhibited excellent NIR-II absorption, which conferred its high photothermal conversion efficiency (66.01%) at 1064 nm and its photoacoustic (PA) imaging capability. Both in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that that PPy NSs possess good biological safety and excellent PTT efficacy and PA imaging performances. Thus, the as-synthesized PPy NSs could effectively achieve PA imaging-guided photothermal tumor ablation under 1064 nm excitation. Our work provides a novel and promising method for the rapid preparation of PPy NSs without the addition of exogenous oxidants and subsequent template removal, which could be regarded as potential photothermal agents (PTAs) to integrate the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.Keywords:polypyrrole nanosheets;in situ polymerization;near-infrared-II region;photoacoustic imaging;photothermal therapy

The second near-infrared biological window two (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) imaging has made remarkable achievements in fluorescence imaging of diseases. Here, this work takes advantage of the rich spectral properties of rare-earth doped nanoparticles (RENPs) and their capability to present multiple emission peaks in different luminescence regions simultaneously; novel RENPs are synthesized that have emission peaks in the NIR-II 1000nm (1000–1300 nm) region and enhanced emission in the NIR-IIb (1500–1700 nm) window and are named as NEU-RENPs. These RENPs with new compositions enable a fair comparison to evaluate their imaging performance in NIR-II 1000nm and NIR-IIb regions under the same conditions. The imaging abilities of the resulted nanoparticles in NIR-II 1000 nm and NIR-IIb regions are investigated systematically for local blood vessels, tumor vessels, acute inflammatory vessels, arterial thrombosis, cerebrovascular inflammation, and brain injury models. The results indicate that imaging of NIR-IIb shows higher resolution and sensitivity than that of NIR-II 1000nm , and it has a stronger ability to accurately distinguish normal and pathological tissues. Interestingly, the fuzzy image of NIR-II 1000nm reveals more information about the background structure of the target, which is difficult to be achieved in NIR-IIb imaging. The results prove NEU-RENPs based NIR-IIb imaging is preferable for biomedical applications.

The fast conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) into reactive oxygen species (ROS) at tumor sites is a promising anticancer strategy by manipulating nanomedicines with near-infrared light in the second region (NIR-II). However, this strategy is greatly compromised by the powerful antioxidant capacity of tumors and the limited ROS generation rate of nanomedicines. This dilemma mainly stems from the lack of an effective synthesis method to support high-density copper-based nanocatalysts on the surface of photothermal nanomaterials. Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform (MCPQZ) with high–density cuprous (Cu 2 O) supported molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanoflowers (MC NFs) is developed for the efficient killing of tumors via a potent ROS storm by an innovative method. Under NIR-II light irradiation, the ROS intensity and maximum reaction velocity ( V max ) produced by MC NFs are 21.6 and 33.8 times that of the non–irradiation group in vitro, which is much higher than most current nanomedicines. Moreover, the strong ROS storm in cancer cells is efficiently formed by MCPQZ (increased by 27.8 times compared to the control), thanks to the fact that MCPQZ effectively pre–weakens the multiple antioxidant systems of cancer cells. This work provides a novel insight to solve the bottleneck of ROS-based cancer therapy.

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 .

Near-infrared-II (NIR-II) imaging has shown great potential for monitoring the pathological progression and deep tissue imaging but is limited to present unmet NIR-II agent. Present fluorophores show a promising prospect for NIR-II imaging, but brightness and photostability are still highly challenging during real-time monitoring. In this work, atom-engineered NIR-II Au 24 Cd 1 clusters with ultrahigh brightness, stability, and photostability are developed via single atomic Cd doping. Single atom Cd substitutions contribute to Cd 4d state in HOMO and redistribution of energy level near the gap, exhibiting 56-fold fluorescence enhancement of Au 24 Cd 1 clusters. Meanwhile, single atomic Cd reinforces Cd Au bond energy, formation energy, and stabilized cluster structure, leading to persistent stability for up to 1 month without decay, as well as excellent photostability of 1 h without photobleaching, much longer than clinically approved indocyanine green (<5 min). In vivo imaging shows gold clusters can monitor acute kidney injury (AKI) even after 72 h of injury, enabling evaluating progression at a very long window. Meanwhile, the bioactive gold clusters can alleviate AKI-induced oxidative stress damage and acute neuroinflammation. Single atom-engineered gold clusters exhibit molecular tracking and diagnostic prospect in kidney-related diseases.

Constructing a Z-scheme photocatalytic system offers great advantages for boosting photocatalytic performance due to its effective charge carrier transfer and strong redox capability. Herein, Cu 2 S/CuS nanosheets heterojunction were prepared by a facile one-pot solvothermal method. CuS/Cu 2 S Z-scheme heterojunction realized rapid bacteria-killing under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. The optimized CuS/Cu 2 S (CuS/Cu 2 S-1) achieved 99 % antibacterial efficiency against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) within 10 min NIR irradiation. Owing to the optimization of CuS/Cu 2 S-1 Z-scheme heterojunction, the efficient interfacial charge separation was realized, thereby resulting in a high yield of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, the heterojunction exhibited locally a higher temperature under NIR irradiation, favorable for eradicating bacteria. In addition, radical scavenging tests and ESR spectra results showed that ⋅O 2 – , ⋅OH and 1 O 2 were main active species responsible for sterilization. Under the synergy of photocatalytic and photothermal effects, the membrane structure of bacteria was severely damaged in CuS/Cu 2 S-1 system. This study not only offers a reliable approach for photothermocatalytic inactivation, but also affords the bases for the development of Z-scheme heterojunction aimed at designing highly efficient photocatalysts.

Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) is caused by the metacestode of Echinococcus multilocularis, which shows characteristics of malignant tumors with high mortality. However, traditional diagnostic imaging methods are still not sufficient for the recognition of HAE microlesions in the early stages. Near-infrared-II (900–1700 nm, NIR-II) fluorescence microscopic imaging (NIR-II-FMI) has shown great potential for biomedical detection. A novel type of negative target imaging method based on NIR-II-FMI with the assistance of indocyanine green (ICG) was explored. Then, NIR-II-FMI was applied to the early detection of HAE for the first time. The negative targeting NIR-II fluorescence imaging of HAE-infected mice at different stages with the assistance of ICG under 808 nm of laser irradiation was obtained. Especially, HAE microlesions at the early stage were detected clearly. Moreover, clear intrahepatic angiography was achieved under the same NIR-II-FMI system.

Cr 3+ doped phosphor shows great potential for near-infrared (NIR) light-emitting diodes (LED), but it suffers from low quantum efficiency and poor thermal stability. Herein, a novel Cr 3+ doped broadband NIR garnet Ca 3 Sc 2 Ge 3 O 12 phosphor was developed. The multisite structure of the emission band is investigated by site-selective spectroscopy and is attributed to the octahedral Cr 3+ perturbed by defects. Moreover, we propose different strategies to enhance the luminescence of the phosphor, including enhancement of crystallinity and elimination of defects. Compared with the initial sample, the emission intensity of the optimized phosphor is improved for 8.6 times. The optimal Ca 3 Sc 2 Ge 3 O 12 : 0.06Cr 3+ phosphor exhibits excellent thermal stability. At 423 K, the integral emission intensity of the optimal sample remains 94.7% of that at room temperature. Finally, high-performance NIR LED was fabricated using a blue LED and the title phosphor. The packaged LED lamp has high radiance (109.3 mW@300 mA) and photoelectric efficiency (15.96%@40 mA). Our study not only provides a boulevard for enhancing the luminescence of Cr doped NIR phosphor, but also gives a new perspective for understanding the multisite luminescence of Cr 3+ in garnet host.

Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The disease progression of sepsis is very fast, and there is a 7–9% increase in mortality every hour. Therefore, rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria is crucial for the timely treatment of sepsis as well as the reduction of mortality. Herein, we present a sensitive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence identification and a rapid magnetic capture based on bioorthogonal nanoprobes for the detection of multiple bacteria in whole blood. The nanoprobes with NIR fluorescence/magnetic properties were modified with dibenzocyclooctyne groups and used to capture and recognize the bacteria via bioorthogonal reaction. The magnetic nanoprobes showed superparamagnetic properties with a saturation magnetization as high as 63 emu/g. Through clicking with the azide groups inserted on the bacteria walls by metabolic engineering, the bioorthogonal magnetic nanoprobes allow fast and broad-spectrum capture of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The bioorthogonal NIR fluorescent nanoprobes with a maximum emission at 900 nm can effectively avoid background interference, further enabling sensitive identification of the bacteria in whole blood. The detection limit was as low as 4 CFU/mL in less than 2.5 h and the nanoprobes were successfully applied to the detection of bacteria in blood samples from the patients with sepsis, showing the potential application in early sepsis diagnosis and clinical studies.

Molybdenum oxide, as one of the important transition metal semiconductor materials with photothermal property, has received increasing attention in the field of catalysis, sensing, energy storage, and clinical biomedicine. To improve its certain limitations such as poor biocompatibility and easy agglomeration during application as biomaterials and promote its performance as photothermal agent in biomedical fields, polyethylene glycol (PEG)–modified molybdenum oxide was synthesized and the synthesis conditions during the hydrothermal process, including the pH values and the amount of PEG added, were adjusted. Owing to the reduction function of PEG, as-obtained PEG-MoO x showed good photostability and colloidal stability, which were beneficial to its application in long-term clinical photothermal therapy. In addition, cell experiments indicated that PEG-MoO x particles exhibited low cytotoxicity and ability of photothermal killing for HeLa cells. With the increase PEG-MoO x particles in solution, the photothermal ablation ability of PEG-MoO x particles for the HeLa cells was enhanced under an 808-nm NIR laser irradiation. Hence, PEG-MoO x particles have great potential in the photothermal treatment of diseases.

In recent years, cancer treatment has been facing the challenge of increasing antitumor efficiency and avoiding severe adverse effects simultaneously. In this study, we designed a controlled release drug delivery system , doxorubicin (Dox)-loaded and hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified PEGylated gold nanocages (AuNCs), which was designated as PEG-HAn-AuNCs/Dox (n represented 10 n HA repeating units were modified on each AuNC). In this system, AuNCs were applied as the photothermal cores, Dox was employed as the model drug, HA was applied as the tumor-microenvironment responsive switch to achieve controlled release, and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) was used as the stealth polymer to prolong systemic circulation time. Firstly, we evaluated the physical and chemical properties of the PEG-HAn-AuNCs/Dox with different ratios of HA to AuNC and found that PEG-HA4-AuNCs/Dox was the optimal. Secondly, PEG-HA4-AuNCs/Dox revealed the feature of controlled release, namely, the drug release was triggered by hyaluronidase (HAase) and accelerated by the acidic pH and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. And then PEG-HA4-AuNCs/Dox could be effectively delivered to a cultured SMMC-7721 cell line in vitro and the tumor tissues of the subcutaneous mouse models of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vivo . Finally, the results demonstrated the synergetic therapy, namely the combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) (defined as chemo-photothermal therapy) mediated by PEG-HA4-AuNCs/Dox, could efficiently inhibit the tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo . Therefore, the advantages of PEG-HA4-AuNCs/Dox endowed it as a great potential candidate for HCC treatment.
