Abstract
Broadband photothermal and photoacoustic agents in the near-infrared (NIR) biowindow are of significance for cancer phototheranostics. In this work, PtCu nanosheets with an average lateral size of less than 10 nm are synthesized as NIR photothermal and photoacoustic agents in vivo, which show strong light absorption from NIR-I to NIR-II biowindows with the photothermal conversion efficiencies of 20.4% under 808 nm laser and 32.7% under 1064 nm laser. PtCu nanosheets functionalized with folic acid-modified thiol-poly(ethylene glycol) (SH-PEG-FA) present good biocompatibility and 4T1 tumor-targeted effect, which give high-contrast photoacoustic imaging and efficient photothermal ablation of 4T1 tumor in both NIR-I and NIR-II biowindows. Our work significantly broadens applications of noble metal-based nanomaterials in the fields of cancer phototheranostics by rationally designing their structures and modulating their physicochemical properties.
