Photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can cause cancer cell death through an immunogenic process. However, the study of second near-infrared window (NIR-II)-triggered PTT and PDT combined with CDT to induce an immune response has not been recently reported. Here, we integrated gold nanobipyramids and copper sulfide in a core/shell architecture (AuNBP@CuS). The material displays both photodynamic and photothermal properties under irradiation with a NIR-II laser. The released Cu 2+ from CuS under an acidic tumor microenvironment can be converted to Cu + by glutathione following a Fenton-like reaction with hydrogen peroxide to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals in the tumor region. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that such multifunctional nanoplatforms could achieve enhanced efficiency for image-guided tumor suppression based on the NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy. We found that damage-associated molecular pattern molecules such as adenosine triphosphate, pre-apoptotic calreticulin , and high mobility group box-1 in dying cells induced by the NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy could simultaneously trigger adaptive immune responses. This is the first report revealing that NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy based on AuNBP@CuS had promising performance on tumor suppressor with an effective immunogenic cell death process. Statement of significance 1. AuNBP@CuS displays both NIR-II photodynamic and photothermal properties. 2. Cu + following a Fenton-like reaction to generate highly toxic hydroxyl radicals. 3. The NIR-II photo/chemodynamic therapy can trigger adaptive immune responses. 4. Such multifunctional nanoplatforms could achieve enhanced efficiency for tumor suppression.

The advantages of fluorescence bioimaging in the second near-infrared (NIR II, 1000–1700 nm) window are well known; however, current NIR II fluorescent probes for in vivo tumor imaging still have many shortcomings, such as low fluorescence efficiency, unstable performance under in vivo environments, and inefficient enrichment at tumor sites. In this study, Ag 2 Te quantum dots (QDs) that emit light at a wavelength of 1300 nm are assembled with poly(lactic- co -glycolic acid) and further encapsulated within cancer cell membranes to overcome the shortcomings mentioned above. The as-prepared ≈100 nm biomimetic nanobioprobes exhibit ultrabright (≈60 times greater than that of free Ag 2 Te QDs) and highly stable (≈97% maintenance after laser radiation for 1 h) fluorescence in the NIR II window. By combining the active homotypic tumor targeting capability derived from the source cell membrane with the passive enhanced permeation and retention effect, improved accumulation at tumor sites ((31 ± 2)% injection dose per gram of tumor) and a high tumor-to-normal tissue ratio (13.3 ± 0.7) are achieved. In summary, a new biomimetic NIR II fluorescent nanobioprobe with ultrabright and stable fluorescence, homotypic targeting and good biocompatibility for enhanced in vivo tumor imaging is developed in this study.

A NIR light-induced shape memory composite with light-induced plasticity was prepared by incorporating graphene oxide (GO) into cross-linked poly (vinyl butyral) (PVB). The cross-linked reaction between PVB and aromatic diisocyanate not only endowed the composites with excellent shape memory properties, but also offered the performance of solid-state plasticity due to the formation of carbamate bonds. The photo-responsive performance was introduced to the system by doping GO, a conventional photothermal reagent, resulting in excellent NIR light-induced shape memory properties and light-induced plasticity. According to the stress relaxation tests, the solid-state plasticity of composites could be regulated by the cross-linked density, GO, catalyst dosage and temperature. Moreover, the composites can be repeatedly programmed to a new permanent shape via a light-induced plasticity process, which still exhibited excellent light-induced shape memory properties even after 5 cycles of reconfiguration. The results demonstrate the promising prospect of these composites as actuator elements for applications in self-deployment devices and soft robotic.

Here, we select simple Er 3+ -doped tellurite glass as model system to systematically explore the up-conversion, down-shifting mechanisms with different excitations (980 and 447 nm), respectively. We observe for the first time, to the best of our knowledge that tunable photo-luminescence occurs from green to red and NIR region, rather than merely from the long-accepted green to red region. Direct evidence of selective energy transfer mechanism is expounded in detail, and its potential applications are demonstrated. In addition, we provide evidence that the cross-relaxation process between dopant ions can enhance photo-luminescence in Er 3+ doped tellurite glasses with high dopant concentrations, whereas the crucial reason for emission decrease is the energy loss long-distance energy migration. These fundamental insights into the photophysical processes in heavily doped photonic glasses will broaden the applications of rare-earth-doped materials ranging from optical communications to medical imaging.

A new near-infrared probe for detecting glutathione based on conjugate addition and intramolecular amino induced spirolactam opening named RhAN was designed and synthesized. Firstly, rhodamine was reacted with 2-(1,3,3-trimethylindolin-2-ylidene) acetaldehyde by a Knoevenagel condensation, and the conjugate chain was extended, obtaining M2. Then, M2 was connected with hydrazide to get M3. Finally, the target molecule RhAN was synthesized via the combination of M3 and acryloyl chloride. In the presence of GSH, RhAN exhibits high selectivity, which specifically identifies GSH over Cys and Hcy, the color change from yellow to green together with the fluorescence appeared within 5 s, and there was no interference from the presence of other biological thiols and amino acids. The absorption and emission wavelength of the probe RhAN reached 717 nm and 739 nm, the molar extinction coefficient is 4.36 × 104 M−1 cm−1 and quantum yield is 0.26. Its absorption and emission intensity were enhanced by more than 117-fold and 90-fold upon addition of GSH, respectively. In addition, it also has high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.1 μM, which is lower than most previously reported GSH probes. The probe works excellently within a wide pH range of 2–10. Moreover, RhAN was employed for endogenous and exogenous imaging in MCF-7 cells for GSH. MCF-7 cells incubated with RhAN with GSH or blank RhAN all showed significant fluorescence in the red channel, which indicated that the probe could not only detect exogenous GSH, but it also permeated into the cells and reacted with the intracellular GSH. This is an excellent design for a fluorescence sensor, RhAN, as a quick and effective method for detecting excess GSH in living cells, for maintaining the balance of amino acids in the body and ensuring normal life activities.

Fluorescence thermometry based on metal halide perovskites is increasingly becoming a hotspot due to its advantages of high detection sensitivity, noninvasiveness, and fast response time. However, it still presents certain technical challenges in practical applications, such as complex synthesis methods, the use of toxic solvents, and being currently mainly based on the visible/first near-infrared light with poor penetration and severe autofluorescence. In this study, we synthesize the second near-infrared (NIR-II) luminescent crystals based on Yb3+/Nd3+-doped zero-dimensional Cs2ScCl5·H2O by a simple “dissolve–dry” method. The whole synthesized process does not involve high temperatures or high pressures. Cs2ScCl5·H2O/Yb3+,Nd3+ has an optimum fluorescence performance when the Yb3+/Nd3+ doping amount is 15%/20%. The emission intensity ratio attributed to Yb3+ and Nd3+ varies with temperature, and this variation is exacerbated due to the fact that the 2F5/2 energy level of Yb3+ can be effectively aligned with the O–H bond stretching vibration energy of coordinating water molecules to facilitate energy transfer. Ultimately, the crystals can act as self-referenced ratiometric NIR-II luminescent thermometers with a maximum relative sensitivity of 1.66% K–1 at 323 K. This work highlights the advantages of NIR-II luminescent materials for temperature sensing, which is significant for advancement in the field of noncontact thermometers.

Navigating more effective methods to enhance the photon utilization of photodetectors poses a significant challenge. This study initially investigates the impact of morphological alterations in 2H-MoS2 on photodetector (PD) performance. The results reveal that compared to layered MoS2 (MoS2 NLs), MoS2 nanotubes (MoS2 NTs) impart a cavity enhancement effect through multiple light reflections. This structural feature significantly enhances the photodetection performance of the MoS2-based PDs. We further employ the heterojunction strategy to construct Y-TiOPc NPs:MoS2 NTs, utilizing Y-TiOPc NPs (Y-type titanylphthalocyanine) as the vis–NIR photosensitizer and MoS2 NTs as the photon absorption enhancer. This approach not only addresses the weak absorption of MoS2 NTs in the near-infrared region but also enhances carrier generation, separation, and transport efficiency. Additionally, the band bending phenomenon induced by trapped-electrons at the interface between ITO and the photoactive layer significantly enhances the hole tunneling injection capability from the external circuit. By leveraging the synergistic effects of the aforementioned strategies, the PD based on Y-TiOPc NPs:MoS2 NTs (Y:MT-PD) exhibits superior photodetection performance in the wavelength range of 365–940 nm compared to MoS2 NLs-based PD and MoS2 NTs-based PD. Particularly noteworthy are the peak values of key metrics for Y:MT-PD, such as EQE, R, and D* that are 4947.6%, 20588 mA/W, and 1.94 × 1012 Jones, respectively. The multiperiod time-resolved photocurrent response curves of Y:MT-PD also surpass those of the other two PDs, displaying rapid, stable, and reproducible responses across all wavelengths. This study provides valuable insights for the further development of photoactive materials with a high photon utilization efficiency.

Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) has become the standard care for early-stage breast cancer. The accurate assessment of tumor margins is urgently required for BCS because positive resection margins often lead to local recurrence. To address this clinical dilemma, a Hf(IV)-coordinated NIR-II fluorescence “turn-on” nanoprobe based on the clinically approved NIR-II fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) for intraoperative tumor visualization is developed. Notably, the fluorescence of ICG can be efficiently quenched by Hf(IV) and subsequently recovered in vivo, showing a remarkable fluorescence “quenching-recovery-amplification” capacity. This nanoprobe can effectively accumulate in tumor sites, accurately identifying submillimeter-sized primary and residual tumors with high sensitivity. In addition, subcutaneous, muscle-infiltrating, and orthotopic breast cancer models are built to repeatedly prove that this ultrasensitive nanoprobe is feasible for precise imaging-guided surgery in breast cancer. Overall, this study constructs an activatable fluorescent nanoprobe for real-time intraoperative tumor margin visualization, holding promise for complete surgical resection and reduction of local recurrence.

Recently, self-assembling small dendrimers into supramolecular dendritic systems offers an alternative strategy to develop multifunctional nanoplatforms for biomedical applications. We herein report a dual-responsive supramolecular PEGylated dendritic system for efficient platinum-based drug delivery and near-infrared (NIR) tracking. With a refined molecular/supramolecular engineering, supramolecular dendritic systems were stabilized by bioreducible disulfide bonds and endowed with NIR fluorescence probes, and PEGylated platinum derivatives coordinated onto the abundant peripheral groups of supramolecular dendritic templates to generate pH/redox dual-responsive theranostic supramolecular PEGylated dendritic systems (TSPDSs). TSPDSs markedly improved the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of platinum-based drugs, owing to their stable nanostructures and PEGylated shells during the blood circulation. Tumor intracellular environment (low pH value and high glutathione concentration) could trigger the rapid disintegration of TSPDSs due to acid-labile coordination bonds and redox-cleavable disulfide linkages, and then platinum-based drugs were delivered into the nuclei to exert antitumor activity. In vivo antitumor treatments indicated TSPDSs not only provided high antitumor efficiency which was comparable to clinical cisplatin, but also reduced renal toxicity of platinum-based drugs. Moreover, NIR fluorescence of TSPDSs successfully visualized in vitro and in vivo fate of nanoplatforms and disclosed the intracellular platinum delivery and pharmacokinetics. These results confirm tailor-made supramolecular dendritic system with sophisticated nanostructure and excellent performance is a promising candidate as smart theranostic nanoplatforms.

Lead-free halide double perovskites (DPs) have attracted much attention due to their potential applications in the field of near-infrared (NIR) optoelectronics. However, regulating the NIR luminescence properties of such materials remains a challenge. In this study, it is found that Cs 2 AgInCl 6 :Cr 3+ DPs exhibit a broad NIR emission under ultraviolet excitation, with a peak value of 980 nm. In the range of 9 GPa, the emission intensity increases significantly. As the pressure increases, a transition from broadband NIR emission to narrow-line emission occurs, accompanied by a decrease in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) from 260 to 40 nm, attributed to increased local structural asymmetry and enhanced crystal field around Cr 3+ ions. Ultrafast transient absorption experiments reveal the changes of energy transfer under pressure and the emergence of new radiation channels, demonstrating the dynamic evolution of emission characteristics under high pressure. The research results deepen the understanding of high pressure luminescence in Cr 3 ⁺-doped halide DPs, providing strategies for designing highly efficient NIR emitters in metal halide DPs.

Bacterial infections, especially caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, pose a big challenge to the healthcare system. As a group of historic agents, metals with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity are regarded as promising alternatives to tackle antibiotic resistance. Among them, gallium ions have presented encouraging antibacterial effects in research and preclinic studies. However, utilization of gallium ions has difficulty in achieving high targeting and long-term effectiveness. With the renaissance of liquid metal, here, a novel and facile antibacterial gallium nanostructure is proposed in which polydopamine-modified gallium nanocore serves as an ion reservoir for enhanced metal ion release and the surface also permits secondary reaction, allowing for in situ formation of Ag nanoparticles to improve the antibacterial property, ROS generation, and photothermal performance. Notably, ≈100% bacterial killing efficacy can be achieved when combined with NIR laser irradiation. The in vivo treatment results of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-infected mice demonstrate that the microneedle patch loaded with nanoparticles exhibits outstanding bacterial elimination and inflammation alleviation, and promotes angiogenesis and collagen deposition, further accelerating wound healing. This gallium-based nanostructure offers an effective nanoplatform for antibacterial treatments and combinatory strategies, which holds significant promise for refractory multidrug-resistant bacteria and related infections.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) has emerged as potent therapeutic agents for biofilm-associated bacterial infections. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), involving the generation of high-energy ROS, displays great potential in the therapy of bacterial infections. However, challenges such as insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and over-expressed glutathione (GSH) levels within the microenvironment of bacterial biofilms severely limit the antibacterial efficacy of CDT. Herein, we have developed a multifunctional nanoplatform (CuS@CaO 2 @Dex) by integrating copper sulfide (CuS) and calcium peroxide (CaO 2 ) into dextran (Dex)-coated nanoparticles. This innovative platform enhanced ROS generation for highly efficient biofilm elimination by simultaneously supplying H 2 O 2 and depleting GSH. The Dex-coating facilitated the penetrability of CuS@CaO 2 @Dex into biofilms, while CaO 2 generated a substantial amount of H 2 O 2 in the acidic biofilm microenvironment. CuS, through a Fenton-like reaction, catalyzed the conversion of self-supplied H 2 O 2 into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and consumed the overexpressed GSH. Additionally, the incorporation of near-infrared II (NIR II) laser irradiation enhanced the photothermal properties of CuS, improving the catalytic efficiency of the Fenton-like reaction for enhanced antibacterial effects. In vivo experiments have demonstrated that CuS@CaO 2 @Dex exhibited remarkable antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy, exceptional wound healing capabilities, and notable biosafety. In summary, the Dex-coated nanoplatform proposed in this study, with its self-sterilization capability through ROS, holds significant potential for future biomedical applications.
