“…The research on semiconductor materials is rapidly expanding. In addition, studies are being conducted on noble and carbon-based PTMs, which includes copper chalcogenides, Ti 2 O 3 , MXene-(Ti 3 C 2 ), MoO 3−x , and WO 3−x (Guo et al, 2012b;Ding et al, 2017;Lin et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2017b;Yan et al, 2017). These semiconductor-based materials are considered to be highly promising candidates, as they offer desirable photothermal conversion efficiencies.…”

Among several active photothermal nanomaterials, tungsten-oxide-based materials have received considerable attention recently because of their ability to absorb near-infrared (NIR) light and their efficient light-to-heat conversion properties. In addition, tungsten-oxide-based materials have an unusual oxygen defect structure and strong local surface plasma resonance (LSPR), which offers strong photoabsorption in a broad wavelength range of the NIR region. In the past, several light-absorbing nanomaterials such as noble metals, polymeric materials, and other inorganic nanomaterials were of interest for their use in photothermal therapy for cancer treatment. In this study, we review the synthesis, properties, and applications of tungsten-oxide-based nanomaterials as a new type of photothermal material. The basic ideas behind photothermal nanomaterial development as well as the factors that influence their structural designs are also discussed in this study. In addition, recent progress in various fields such as NIR light-shielding, pyroelectric, water evaporation, photocatalysis, gas sensors, and energy-related applications for WO 3−x-and M x WO 3-based nanomaterials (including their hybrids) are highlighted. Finally, this review presents promising insights into this rapidly growing field that may inspire additional research leading to practical applications.

“…A significant number of nanoscale platforms have been investigated to ameliorate these problems. For instance, much attention has been paid to efficient NIR light absorbing materials such as gold nanostructures, copper chalcogenides, graphene, MoS 2 and carbon nanotubes, among others [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Researchers have also increasingly begun to recognize the synergistic potential of combining PTT and 5 / 31 chemotherapy in so-called chemo-photothermal therapy.…”

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2)-based drug delivery systems have shown considerable potential in cancer nanomedicines. In this work, a multifunctional nanoplatform comprising MoS 2 nanosheets decorated with copper sulfide (CuS) and further functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) is reported. The resultant material has a particle size of approximately 115 nm, and can be loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) to a loading capacity of 162.3 mg DOX per g of carrier. Drug release is triggered by two stimuli (near infrared (NIR) irradiation and pH), and the carrier is shown to have excellent colloidal stability. The presence of both MoS 2 and CuS leads to very high photothermal conversion efficiency (higher than with MoS 2 alone). In vitro experiments revealed that the blank CuS-MoS 2-SH-PEG carrier is biocompatible, but that the synergistic application of chemo-photothermal therapy (in the form of CuS-MoS 2-SH-PEG loaded with DOX and NIR irradiation) led to greater cell death than either chemotherapy (CuS-MoS 2-SH-PEG(DOX) but no NIR) or photothermal therapy (CuS-MoS 2-SH-PEG with NIR). A cellular uptake study demonstrated that the nanoplatform can efficiently enter tumor cells, and that uptake is enhanced when NIR is applied. Overall, the functionalized MoS 2 material developed in this work exhibits great potential as an efficient system for dual responsive drug delivery and synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy. The route employed in our work thus provides a strategy to enhance photothermal efficacy for transition metal dichalcogenide drug delivery systems. 3 / 31

“…The energy of NIR light is transferred into heat in PTT, which causes tumor cell apoptosis, without damaging normal cells. [1][2][3][4] At present, the development of PTT is mainly dependent on designing novel photothermal agents for transferring light energy to heat effectively. Moreover, PTT combined with tumor imaging facilitates accurate and effective guidance in the treatment of cancer.…”
