Beyond traditional light: NIR-II light-activated photosensitizers for cancer therapy

Abstract

With the increasing demand for accurate and safe treatment of cancer, non-invasive photodynamic therapy (PDT) has received widespread attention. However, most conventional photosensitizers are typically excited by short visible light...

NIR‐II Absorption/Fluorescence of D–A π‐Conjugated Polymers Composed of Strong Electron Acceptors Based on Boron‐Fused Azobenzene Complexes

“…Chemie platforms as NIR-absorbing materials or photosensitizers for various applications such as photonic thermodynamic therapy [60,61] and photothermal devices, [62] organic photovoltaic, [14] and photodetectors. [63,64]…”

NIR‐II Absorption/Fluorescence of D–A π‐Conjugated Polymers Composed of Strong Electron Acceptors Based on Boron‐Fused Azobenzene Complexes

“…[58,59] Nevertheless, this CP still had a superior absorption property over a wide range of the NIR region. Thus, our materials should be promising platforms as NIR-absorbing materials or photosensitizers for various applications such as photonic thermodynamic therapy [60,61] and photothermal devices, [62] organic photovoltaic, [14] and photodetectors. [63,64]…”

Vaporization phosphorization-mediated synthesis of phosphorus-doped TiO2 nanocomposites for combined photodynamic and photothermal therapy of renal cell carcinoma

“…18 If the current light-activated energy transfer band (400 nm) is transferred to the treatment window (>600 nm) recognized by the World Health Organization through surface modification, effective treatment of deep tissues could be achieved while reducing damage. 19 Various strategies, encompassing modifications and doping engineering, have been employed to alter the range of photoresponses of TiO 2 . 20,21 For instance, the introduction of elements such as Fe, 22 Au, 23 and zinc phthalocyanine 21 has been explored to extend the TiO 2 optical absorption into the near-infrared region.…”
