“…Considering the biosafety, temperature difference response ability, and ROS generation requirements, SnSe was selected as PEDT nanomaterials for the advantages of good biosafety, good photothermal conversion performance, superior thermoelectric efficiency, and appropriate valence/conduction band potentials. After combining Au nanoparticles onto the surface of SnSe, the photothermal conversion property was improved, and the migration and separation properties of e – and h + , which was activated by thermoelectric effects, could be significantly improved due to the potential difference between electron acceptor Au-NPs and SnSe nanosemiconductors, resulting in promoted h + –H 2 O half-reaction efficiency ( Wang et al, 2020a ; Zhang et al, 2020 ; Wang et al, 2021 ). Moreover, e – -rich Au-NPs could catalyze tumor endogenous H 2 O 2 into ∙OH with high reactivity, together with h + –H 2 O-induced ·OH generation.…”
