Abstract
ABSTRACT High-performance electromagnetic wave absorption and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with multifunctional characters have attracted extensive scientific and technological interest, but they remain a huge challenge. Here, we reported an electrostatic assembly approach for fabricating 2D/1D/0D construction of Ti3C2Tx/carbon nanotubes/Co nanoparticles (Ti3C2Tx/CNTs/Co) nanocomposites with an excellent electromagnetic wave absorption, EMI shielding efficiency, flexibility, hydrophobicity, and photothermal conversion performance. As expected, a strong reflection loss of -85.8 dB and an ultrathin thickness of 1.4 mm were achieved. Meanwhile, the high EMI shielding efficiency reached 110.1 dB. The excellent electromagnetic wave absorption and shielding performances were originated from the charge carriers, electric/magnetic dipole polarization, interfacial polarization, natural resonance, and multiple internal reflections. Moreover, a thin layer of polydimethylsiloxane rendered the hydrophilic hierarchical Ti3C2Tx/CNTs/Co hydrophobic, which can prevent the degradation/oxidation of the MXene in high humidity condition. Interestingly, the Ti3C2Tx/CNTs/Co film exhibited a remarkable photothermal conversion performance with high thermal cycle stability and tenability. Thus, the multifunctional Ti3C2Tx/CNTs/Co nanocomposites possessing a unique blend of outstanding electromagnetic wave absorption and EMI shielding, light-driven heating performance, and flexible water-resistant features were highly promising for the next-generation intelligent electromagnetic attenuation system. [Image: see text] HIGHLIGHTS The 2D/1D/0D Ti3C2Tx/carbon nanotubes/Co nanocomposite is successfully synthesized via an electrostatic assembly. Nanocomposites exhibit an excellent electromagnetic wave absorption and a remarkable electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency. The flexible, waterproof, and photothermal conversion performances are achieved. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40820-021-00673-9.

Abstract
Combining photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and ferroptosis is a valuable means for an enhanced anticancer effect. However, traditional combination of PDT/CDT/ferroptosis faces several hurdles, including excess glutathione (GSH) neutralization and preparation complexity. In this work, a versatile multifunctional nanoparticle (HCNP) self-assembled from two porphyrin molecules, chlorin e6 and hemin, is developed. The as-constructed HCNPs exhibit a peroxidase-mimic catalytic activity, which can lead to the in situ generation of endogenous O2, thereby enhancing the efficacy of PDT. Furthermore, the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) in the tumor environment in reaction to the high level of H2O2 and the simultaneous disruption of intracellular GSH endow the HCNPs with the capacity of enhanced CDT, resulting in a more effective therapeutic outcome in combination with PDT. More importantly, GSH depletion further leads to the inactivation of GSH peroxide 4 and induced ferroptosis. Both in vitro and in vivo results showed that the combination of PDT/CDT/ferroptosis realizes highest antitumor efficacy significantly under laser irradiation. Therefore, by integrating the superiorities of O2 and •OH generation capacity, GSH-depletion effect, and bioimaging into a single nanosystem, the HCNPs are a promising single therapeutic agent for tumor PDT/CDT/ferroptosis combination therapy.

Abstract
Therapeutic peptides have attracted significant attention in clinical applications due to their advantages in biological origination and good biocompatibility. However, the therapeutic performance of peptides is usually hindered by their short half-lives in blood and inferior activity. Herein, supramolecular nanodrugs of therapeutic peptides are constructed by covalent assembly of chemotherapeutic peptides through genipin cross-linking. The resulting nanodrugs have intense absorbance in the near-infrared region and high photothermal conversion efficiencies, leading to the possibility of photothermal therapy. The combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy using the nanodrugs shows synergistic therapeutic effects on cancer cells. Hence, covalent assembly not only maintains the chemotherapeutic activities of the peptides but also triggers supramolecular photothermal effects, demonstrating that the covalent assembly of therapeutic peptides through genipin cross-linking is an efficient approach in constructing supramolecular nanodrugs toward synergistic anticancer therapy.

Abstract
CoTPP, as a common hypsoporphyrin, is usually not a luminescent molecule because of the open-shell Co ion. In this paper, well-defined multilayer CoTPP molecules self-assembled on Au(111) surface are characterized layer by layer with scanning tunneling microscope (STM) induced luminescence. By using the highly localized STM tunneling current, we not only investigate the influence of bias polarity on the amplitude of distinct plasmonic emission resulted from the interaction between the metal substrate and the metal ions but also first obtain the light emission from the hypsoporphyrins in the tunneling junction. The density-matrix method and the combined approach of classical electrodynamics and first-principles calculation are used to explain the mechanism of the light emission. These findings may expand the underlying physics of plasmon-exciton coupling in STM nanocavity and reveal a new possible path to overcome the fluorescent potential of hypsoporphyrins by the intense localized electric fields.

Abstract
Cyclic dipeptides (CDPs) are the simplest form of cyclic peptides with a wide range of applications from therapeutics to biomaterials. CDP is a versatile molecular platform endowed with unique properties such as conformational rigidity, intermolecular interactions, structural diversification through chemical synthesis, bioavailability and biocompatibility. A variety of natural products with the CDP core exhibit anticancer, antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral activities. The inherent bioactivities have inspired the development of synthetic analogues as drug candidates and drug delivery systems. CDP plays a crucial role as conformation and molecular assembly directing core in the design of molecular receptors, peptidomimetics and fabrication of functional material architectures. In recent years, CDP has rapidly become a privileged scaffold for the design of advanced drug candidates, drug delivery agents, bioimaging, and biomaterials to mitigate numerous disease conditions. This review describes the structural diversification and multifarious biomedical applications of the CDP scaffold, discusses challenges, and provides future directions for the emerging field.

Abstract
The development of activatable photosensitizers (PSs) is of particular interest for achieving tumor photodynamic therapy (PDT) with minimal side effects. However, the in vivo applications of PSs are limited by complex physiological and biological delivery barriers. Herein, boron dipyrromethene (BDP)-based nanoparticles are developed through the self-assembly of a multifunctional "one-for-all" building block for enhanced tumor penetration and activatable PDT. The nanoparticles show excellent colloidal stability and long circulation lifetime in blood. Once they reach the tumor site, the first-stage size reduction occurs due to the hydrolysis of the Schiff base bond between polyethylene glycol and the cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp peptide in the acidic tumor microenvironment (pH~6.5), facilitating tumor penetration and specific recognition by cancer cells overexpressing integrin ανβ3 receptors. Upon the endocytosis by cancer cells, the second-stage size reduction is triggered by more acidic pH in lysosomes (pH~4.5). Importantly, the protonated diethylamino groups can block photoinduced electron transfer from the amine donor to the excited PSs and accelerate complete disassembly of the nanoparticles into single PS molecule, with the recovery of the fluorescence and photoactivity for efficient PDT. This study presents a smart PS delivery strategy involving acidity-triggered hierarchical disassembly from the nano to molecular scale for precise tumor PDT.

Abstract
The natural biomolecules of peptides and proteins are able to form elegant metal incorporating supramolecular nanomaterials through multiple weak non-covalent interactions. The use of toxic chemical reagents to fabricate silver nanoparticles poses a danger to apply them in various biomedical applications. Peptide and protein biomolecules have the potential to overcome this barrier by the supramolecular chemistry approach. In this review, we focus on the self-assembly of peptides and proteins to synthesize silver incorporating supramolecular nanoarchitectures, which in turn enhance the biological properties of these silver nanomaterials being used in nanomedicine. This review aims to illustrate the recent developments in amphiphilic peptides, oligopeptides, collagen, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and human serum albumin (HSA) as capping, stabilizing, and reducing agents to form silver incorporating supramolecular nanostructures. Finally, we provide some biomedical applications of silver-incorporating supramolecular nanomaterials along with future perspectives.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is hampered by limited light penetration depth and cell thermoresistance induced by over-expressed heat shock proteins (HSPs). Herein, we proposed a tumor-specific enhanced NIR-II PTT through the starvation mediated thermal sensitization strategy. A semiconducting polymer with superior NIR-II fluorescence imaging (FI) performance and NIR-II PTT efficacy was synthesized and encapsulated into folate modified liposomes, together with a glycolysis inhibitor, 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG). Upon specifically targeting folate receptors and guidance of NIR-II FI, spatiotemporal 2DG release could be achieved by the trigger of NIR-II photothermal effect. The released 2DG could not only deplete the energy supply of tumor cells by inhibiting tumor anaerobic glycolysis, but also decrease the ATP levels and hamper the production of HSPs, ultimately enhancing the tumor thermal sensitivity toward PTT. Owing to the sensitization effect of 2DG, tumor cells with overexpressed folate receptors could be significantly damaged by NIR-II PTT with an enhanced therapeutic efficiency. The work provided a promising strategy for specific starvation/NIR-II PTT synergistic therapy towards tumors.

Abstract
Although photothermal therapy (PTT) has great potential for tumor inhibition, this single mode of action frequently encounters recurrence and metastasis, highlighting the urgent need for developing combination therapy. Inspired by established evidence that PTT could induce efficient immunogenic cell death (ICD), we here developed a versatile biomimetic nanoplatform (denoted as AuDRM) for the synergism of photothermal/starvation/immunotherapy against cancer. Specifically, dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully constructed followed by the in situ synthesis of Au NPs in the mesopores. Afterward, a hybrid membrane was coated to facilitate the loading of R837. Upon efficient accumulation in the tumor tissue by homotypic targeting, the pH-sensitive membrane could be jettisoned to ensure the exposure of Au NPs for starvation therapy and the effective release of the immunostimulator R837 for enhancement of immunotherapy. Except for the PTT-mediated tumor ablation, the induction of ICD coupled with the release of tumor antigens could work synergistically with the immunostimulator R837 for inhibiting the primary tumor as well as the metastasis and induce a long-term immune memory effect for tumor inhibition via a vaccine-like function. Thus, this study paves the way for high-performance tumor ablation by the synergism of photothermal/starvation/immunotherapy.

Abstract
Understanding the self-assembly mechanisms of amphiphilic molecules in solutions and regulating their phase behaviors are of primary significance for their applications. To challenge the reported direct phase transitions from nonlamellar to ordered lamellar phases, the self-assembly and phase behavior of the 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride aqueous dispersions were studied using a strategy of isothermal incubation after the temperature jump. A disordered lamellar phase (identified as the lamellar liquid-crystal (Lα) phase), serving as an intermediate, was found to bridge the transition from a spherical micellar (M) phase to a lamellar-gel (Lβ) phase. Meanwhile, the nonsynchronicity in the tail and headgroup regions of the ionic liquid surfactant during the transition process was also unveiled, with the former being prior to the latter. The in-depth understanding of the self-assembly mechanisms may help push forward the related applications in the future.

Supermolecularly assembled photochemotherapeutic nanocomposites composed of pure drug small molecules are promising for synergistically improved tumor therapy, yet potential multiple challenges remain to be addressed. Herein, we rationally designed a novel multifunctional small molecule disulfide modified natural pentacyclic triterpene of ursolic acid (UASS) that simultaneously possesses self-assembly ability, glutathione (GSH) responsivity, anticancer activity, biocompatibility and biodegradability and further constructed carrier-free GSH-sensitive photosensitive nanocomposite UASS-Ce6 NPs for safe and synergistically improved chemophototherapy. Specifically, UASS-Ce6 NPs exhibit improved 1O2 generation by reducing the energy gap (ΔEST) of Ce6 as determined by density functional theory. Meanwhile, molecular dynamics simulation revealed the possible reasons why free UASS self-assembles and UASS-Ce6 NPs with different assembled morphologies may be primarily attributed to the coplanar arrangement of UASS dimer units. Importantly, via noncovalent π-stacking and hydrophobic interactions, the resulting co-assemblies showed improved water solubility, increased intercellular ROS generation, desirable GSH sensibility, excellent biocompatibility, and enhanced tumor accumulation accompanied by rapid biodegradation, thus leading to significant in vitro and in vivo synergistic antitumor efficacy with favorable biosafety. This study provides a promising insight into the development of a self-assembled active single component platform with desirable stimuli responsiveness and biosafety toward synergistic antitumor therapy based on terpenoid natural small molecules.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy has been increasingly used to cope with the alarming problem of cancer. Porphyrins and its derivatives are widely used as potent photosensitizers (PS) for PDT. However, hydrophobicity of porphyrins poses a challenge for their use in clinics, while most of the carbon dots (CDs) are known for good biocompatibility, solubility, and pH sensitivity. OBJECTIVE To improve the properties/biocompatibility of the pyropheophorbide-α for PDT. METHODS PPa-CD conjugate was synthesized through covalent interaction using amide condensation. The structure of synthesized conjugate was confirmed by TEM, 1HNMR, and FTIR. The absorption and emission spectra were studied. In vitro, cytotoxicity of the conjugate was examined in the Human esophageal cancer cell line (Eca-109). RESULTS The results showed that the fluorescence of the drug was increased from its precursor. CD based conjugate could generate ROS as well as enhanced the biocompatibility by decreasing the cytotoxicity. The conjugated drug also showed pH sensitivity in different solutions. CONCLUSION The dark toxicity, as well as hemocompatibility, were improved.

Abstract
Phototherapy has gained great attention in the past decade owing to the advantages of high selectivity and low toxicity. However, it's still a challenge to develop a single photosensitizer that can achieve both photothermal and photodynamic effects. Herein, we design and synthesize a new organic compound (PIT) with a typical D-A-D structure through the covalent conjugation of perylene diimides (PDI) and triphenylamine (TPA). The amphiphilic PIT could be transformed to the nanoparticles (PIT NPs) through nanoprecipitation method. PIT NPs exhibit good water dispersibility with particle size around 70 nm. Because of the efficient NIR absorption, PIT NPs display high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) (η = 46.1 %) and strong photoacoustic signal under irradiation of 635 nm laser. Moreover, under the same laser irradiation, significant reactive oxygen species can be induced by PIT NPs both in aqueous solution and cancer cells. The MTT assay demonstrate the good biocompatibility and outstanding photocytotoxicity of PIT NPs. Thus, the as-prepared PIT NPs could be used as excellent candidates for photoacoustic imaging and photodynamic/photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Carbon based polymer dots have piqued attention of researchers because of excellent biocompatibility, and good solubility. Most of the p-dots are able to generate ROS which is effective for photodynamic therapy for the treatment of cancer while some photosensitizers such as porphyrins possess some drawbacks such as hydrophobicity, and dark toxicity. Therefore in this study we conjugated red emission carbon based polymer with pyropheophorbide-α through amide condensation and π-π stacking. One pot synthesis of the conjugate was successfully achieved. Their photophysiological properties were studied and structures were characterized by FT-IR, TEM and 1HNMR. pH- sensitivity of the conjugates was confirmed using fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopy. Photo toxicity and dark toxicity of the prepared conjugates were evaluated in human esophageal cancer cell line (Eca-109). Hemocompatibility of the synthesized conjugates was evaluated and proved that the conjugates are safe to use for the treatment of tumor. Our results showed the PS doped p-dots had less dark toxicity and increased light toxicity as well as ROS generation was high as compared to precursor drug. Therefore, incorporation of p-dots to porphyrin improved biocompatibility and enhanced the photodynamic effect.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment for cancers such as superficial skin cancers, esophageal cancer, and cervical cancer. Unfortunately, PDT often does not have sufficient therapeutic benefits due to its intrinsic oxygen dependence and the limited permeability of irradiating light. Side effects from "always on" photosensitizers (PSs) can be problematic, and PDT cannot treat tumor metastases or recurrences. In recent years, supramolecular approaches using non-covalent interactions have attracted attention due to their potential in PS development. A supramolecular PS assembly could be built to maximize photodynamic effects and minimize side effects. A combination of two or more therapies can effectively address shortcomings while maximizing the benefits of each treatment regimen. Using the supramolecular assembly, it is possible to design a multifunctional supramolecular PS to exert synergistic effects by combining PDT with other treatment methods. This review provides a summary of important research progress on supramolecular systems that can be used to combine PDT with photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy to compensate for the shortcomings of PDT, and it provides an overview of the prospects for future cancer treatment advances and clinical applications.

Abstract
Phototheranostics represents a promising direction for modern precision medicine, which has recently received considerable attention for cancer research. The ingenious integration of all phototheranostic modalities in a single molecule with precise spatial colocalization is a tremendously challenging task, which mainly arises from the complexity of molecular design and energy dissipation. Reports on a single molecular one-for-all theranostic agent are still very rare. Herein, we designed two novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active fluorogens (AIEgens, named DPMD and TPMD) with a cross-shaped donor-acceptor structure via a facile synthetic method and constructed versatile nanoparticles (NPs) by encapsulating AIEgen with an amphiphilic polymer. The AIEgen TPMD with a twisted structure, high donor-acceptor (D-A) strength, small singlet-triplet energy gap, and abundant intramolecular rotators and vibrators was selected as an ideal candidate for balancing and utilizing the radiative and nonradiative energy dissipations. Notably, TPMD NPs simultaneously possess adequate near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence emission at 821 nm for fluorescence imaging, effective reactive oxygen species generation for photodynamic therapy (PDT), and outstanding photothermal effect for photoacoustic imaging, photothermal imaging, and photothermal therapy (PTT), which demonstrates the superior potential of AIE NPs in multimodal imaging-guided synergistic PDT/PTT therapy.

Abstract
The rapid, complete, targeted and safe treatment for tumors remains a key issue in cancer therapy. A novel treatment of solid tumors by supramolecular photocatalyst Nano-SA-TCPP with the irradiation of 600-700 nm wavelength is established. Solid tumors (100 mm3) can be eliminated within 10 min. The 50-day mouse survival rate was increased from 0% to 100% after the photocatalytic therapy. The breakthrough was owing to the cell membrane rupture and the cytoplasmic loss caused by photogenerated holes inside cancer cells. The porphyrin-based photocatalysts can be internalized in a targeted manner by cancer cells due to the size selection effect, without entering the normal cells. The therapy has no toxicity or side effects for normal cells and organisms. Moreover, the photocatalytic therapy is effective for a variety of cancer cell lines. Because of its high efficiency, safety and universality, the photocatalytic therapy provides us with a new lancet to conquer the tumor.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light absorbing theranostic agents can integrate optoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy for effective personalized precision medicine. However, most of these agents face the challenges of unstable optical properties, material-associated toxicity, and nonbiodegradability, all of which limit their biomedical application. Several croconaine-based organic agents able to overcome some of these limitations have been recently reported, but these suffer from complicated multistep synthesis protocols. Herein, the use of CR760, a croconaine dye with excellent optical properties, is reported for nanoparticle formulation and subsequent optoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. Importantly, CR760 can be conveniently prepared in a single step from commercially available materials. Furthermore, CR760 can be covalently attached, via a polyethylene glycol linker, to the αv β3 integrin ligand c(RGDyC), resulting in self-assembled nanoparticles (NPs) with cancer-targeting capability. Such CR760RGD-NPs exhibit strong NIR absorption, high photostability, high optoacoustic generation efficiency, and active tumor-targeting, making them ideal candidates for optoacoustic imaging. Due to favorable electron transfer, CR760RGD-NPs display a 45.37% photothermal conversion efficiency thereby rendering them additionally useful for photothermal therapy. Targeted tumor elimination, biosafety, and biocompatibility are demonstrated in a 4T1 murine breast tumor model. This work points to the use of CR760RGD-NPs as a promising nanoagent for NIR-based cancer phototheranostics.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal malignancies, compromises the performance of traditional therapeutic regimens in the clinic because of stromal resistance to systemic drug delivery and poor prognosis caused by tumor metastasis. Therefore, a biocompatible therapeutic paradigm that can effectively inhibit pancreatic tumor growth while simultaneously eliminating tumor metastasis is urgently needed. Herein, supramolecular nanofibrils are fabricated through coassembly of clinically approved immunomodulatory thymopentin and near-infrared indocyanine green for localized photothermal immunotherapy of pancreatic tumors. The resulting long-range ordered fibrous nanodrugs show improved photophysical capabilities for fluorescence imaging and photothermal conversion and significantly promote the proliferation and differentiation of antitumor immune cells. Hence, the integration of rapid photothermal therapy and moderate immunomodulation for inhibiting tumor growth and eliminating tumor metastasis is promising. The utilization of clinically approved molecules to construct nanodrugs administered via localized injection amplifies the complementary photothermal immunotherapeutic effects of the components, creating opportunities for clinical translation as a treatment for pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a powerful means to fabricate multifunctional smart nanotheranostics. However, the complicated preparation, toxicity of responsive carriers, and low loading efficiency of drug cargo hinder the outcome. Herein, we developed a responsive carrier-free noncovalent self-assembly strategy of a metallized Au(III) tetra-(4-pyridyl) porphine (AuTPyP) anticancer drug for the preparation of a heat/acid dual-stimulated nanodrug, and it generated a better photothermal effect than monomers under irradiation. The photothermal effect promoted the protonation of the hydrophobic pyridyl group and the following release into tumorous acidic microenvironments. With cRGD modification, the released drug induced the aggravation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the activity inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) for synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Proteins are the fundamental building blocks for high-performance materials in nature. Such materials fulfill structural roles, as in the case of silk and collagen, and can generate active structures including the cytoskeleton. Attention is increasingly turning to this versatile class of molecules for the synthesis of next-generation green functional materials for a range of applications. Protein nanofibrils are a fundamental supramolecular unit from which many macroscopic protein materials are formed. In this Review, we focus on the multiscale assembly of such protein nanofibrils formed from naturally occurring proteins into new supramolecular architectures and discuss how they can form the basis of material systems ranging from bulk gels, films, fibers, micro/nanogels, condensates, and active materials. We review current and emerging approaches to process and assemble these building blocks in a manner which is different to their natural evolutionarily selected role but allows the generation of tailored functionality, with a focus on microfluidic approaches. We finally discuss opportunities and challenges for this class of materials, including applications that can be involved in this material system which consists of fully natural, biocompatible, and biodegradable feedstocks yet has the potential to generate materials with performance and versatility rivalling that of the best synthetic polymers.

Abstract
Imaging-guided phototherapy, including photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy, has been emerging as a promising avenue for precision cancer treatment. However, the utilization of a single laser to induce combination phototherapy and multiple-model imaging remains a great challenge. Herein, we report, the first of its kind, a covalent-organic framework (COF)-based magnetic core-shell nanocomposite, Fe3O4@COF-DhaTph, that is used as a multifunctional nanoagent for cancer theranostics under single 660 nm NIR irradiation. Besides significant photothermal and photodynamic effects, it still permits triple-modal magnetic resonance/photoacoustic/near-infrared thermal (IR) imaging due to its unequaled magnetic and optical performance. We believe that the results obtained herein could obviously promote the application of COF-based multifunctional nanomaterials in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
The design of organic photothermal agents (PTAs) for in vivo applications face a demanding set of performance requirements, especially intense NIR-absorptivity and sufficient photobleaching resistance. J-aggregation offers a facile way to tune the optical properties of dyes, thus providing a general design platform for organic PTAs with the desired performance. Herein, we present a supramolecular strategy to build a water-stable, nonphotobleaching, and NIR-absorbing nano-PTA (J-NP) from J-aggregation of halogenated BODIPY dyes (BDP) for efficient in vivo photothermal therapy. Multiple intermolecular halogen-bonding and π-π stacking interactions triggered the formation of BDP J-aggregate, which adsorbed amphiphilic polymer chains on the surface to provide PEGylated sheetlike nano-J-aggregate (J-NS). We serendipitously discovered that the architecture of J-NS was remodeled during a long-time ultrafiltration process, generating a discrete spherical nano-J-aggregate (J-NP) with controlled size. Compared with J-NS, the remodeled J-NP significantly improved cellular uptake efficiency. J-aggregation brought J-NP striking photothermal performance, such as strong NIR-absorptivity, high photothermal conversion efficiency up to 72.0%, and favorable nonphotobleaching ability. PEGylation and shape-remodeling imparted by the polymer coating enabled J-NP to hold biocompatibility and stability in vivo, thereby exhibiting efficient antitumor photothermal activities. This work not only presents a facile J-aggregation strategy for preparing PTAs with high photothermal performance but also establishes a supramolecular platform that enables the appealing optical functions derived from J-aggregation to be applied in vivo.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has received constant attention as an efficient cancer therapy method due to locally selective treatment, which is not affected by the tumor microenvironment. In this study, a novel 880 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser-triggered photothermal agent (PTA), 3TT-IC-4Cl, was used for PTT of a tumor in deep tissue. Folic acid (FA) conjugated amphiphilic block copolymer (folic acid-polyethylene glycol-poly (β-benzyl-L-aspartate)10, FA-PEG-PBLA10) was employed to encapsulate 3TT-IC-4Cl by nano-precipitation to form stable nanoparticles (TNPs), and TNPs exhibit excellent photothermal stability and photothermal conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the in vitro results showed TNPs display excellent biocompatibility and significant phototoxicity. These results suggest that 880 nm triggered TNPs have great potential as effective PTAs for photothermal therapy of tumors in deep tissue.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for tumor control and ablation. Attention has focused on exploring advanced organic photothermal agents (OPTAs), with advantages of easy modification, adjustable photophysical and photochemical properties, good compatibility, and inherent biodegradability. However, few detailed studies on how to maximally channelize nonradiative heat generation from the viewpoint of the photothermal conversion mechanism have been reported. Thus, here we assimilate and elaborate on several available action mechanisms to maximize the photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic dyes. Moreover, we also propose several potential challenges that require substantial future work to address.

Abstract
Although various synthetic methodologies including organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and materials science are the main contributors to the production of functional materials, the importance of regulation of nanoscale structures for better performance has become clear with recent science and technology developments. Therefore, a new research paradigm to produce functional material systems from nanoscale units has to be created as an advancement of nanoscale science. This task is assigned to an emerging concept, nanoarchitectonics, which aims to produce functional materials and functional structures from nanoscale unit components. This can be done through combining nanotechnology with the other research fields such as organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, materials science, and bio-related science. In this review article, the basic-level of nanoarchitectonics is first presented with atom/molecular-level structure formations and conversions from molecular units to functional materials. Then, two typical application-oriented nanoarchitectonics efforts in energy-oriented applications and bio-related applications are discussed. Finally, future directions of the molecular and materials nanoarchitectonics concepts for advancement of functional nanomaterials are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, the development of highly efficient photothermal agents with excellent biosafety, particularly with low liver retention, is very meaningful for clinical applications, but it is also challenging. We herein prepared a pH-sensitive nanoagent (NanoPc3) by the self-assembly of a zinc(ii) phthalocyanine substituted with hexadeca-sulphonates linked by hydrazone bonds for photoacoustic imaging and PTT. Due to the highly negative surface potential (-30.80 mV in water), NanoPc3 could effectively escape the phagocytosis of the reticuloendothelial system and be rapidly cleared from normal tissues, leading to little accumulation in the liver and excellent biosafety. The highly negatively-charged NanoPc3 changed into nearly neutral nanoparticles (NanoPc3H) under slightly acidic conditions, resulting in enhanced cellular uptake and retention time in tumor tissues. Moreover, the tumor of H22 tumor-bearing mice treated with NanoPc3 almost disappeared, suggesting an outstanding photothermal antitumor effect. NanoPc3 also hardly showed skin phototoxicity under irradiation. Its excellent antitumor effect and biosafety make NanoPc3 highly promising in clinical applications. This work will provide a new strategy for the design of tumor-targeted photothermal nanoagents with high biosafety.

Abstract
As a worldwide major public health problem, cancer is one of the leading causes of death. Effective treatment of cancer is an important challenge. Therefore, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have been widely applied as anti-tumour strategies due to their high-performance and limited side effects. Inspired by natural supramolecular architectures, such as cytochromes and photosystems, the hierarchical supramolecular assembly of small organic molecules has been developed for their use as photosensitizers or photothermal agents for PDT and PTT, respectively. In this manuscript, we will summarize the recent progress of PDT and PTT based on the assembly of small organic molecules.

Abstract
Hypoxia in a tumor microenvironment (TME) has inhibited the photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy. Here, Ni3S2/Cu1.8S nanoheterostructures were synthesized as a new photosensitizer, which also realizes the intracellular photocatalytic O2 evolution to relieve hypoxia in TME and enhance PDT as well. With the narrow band gap (below 1.5 eV), the near infrared (NIR) (808 nm) can stimulate their separation of the electron-hole. The novel Z-scheme nanoheterostructures, testified by experimental data and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, possess a higher redox ability, endowing the photoexited holes with sufficient potential to oxide H2O into O2, directly. Meanwhile, the photostimulated electrons can capture the dissolved O2 to form a toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, Ni3S2/Cu1.8S nanocomposites also possess the catalase-/peroxidase-like activity to convert the endogenous H2O2 into ·OH and O2, which not only cause chemodynamic therapy (CDT) but also alleviate hypoxia to assist the PDT as well. In addition, owing to the narrow band gap, they possess a high NIR harvest and great photothermal conversion efficiency (49.5%). It is noted that the nanocomposites also exhibit novel biodegradation and can be metabolized and eliminated via feces and urine within 2 weeks. The present single electrons in Ni/Cu ions induce the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ability for Ni3S2/Cu1.8S. To make sure that the cancer cells were specifically targeted, hyaluronic acid (HA) was grafted outside and Ni3S2/Cu1.8S@HA integrated photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT) to exhibit the great anticancer efficiency for hypoxic tumor elimination.

Abstract
Integration of diagnostic and therapeutic functions in a single platform namely theranostics has become a cornerstone for personalized medicine. Theranostics platform facilitates noninvasive detection and treatment while allowing the monitoring of disease progression and therapeutic efficacy in case of chronic conditions of cancer and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Theranostic tools function by themselves or with the aid of carrier, viz. liposomes, micelles, polymers, or dendrimers. The dendrimer architectures (DA) are well-characterized molecular nanoobjects with a large number of terminal functional groups to enhance solubility and offer multivalency and multifunctional properties. Various noninvasive diagnostic tools like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), gamma scintigraphy, and optical techniques have been accomplished utilizing DAs for simultaneous imaging and drug delivery. Obstacles in the formulation design, drug loading, payload delivery, biocompatibility, overcoming cellular membrane and blood-brain barrier (BBB), and systemic circulation remain a bottleneck in translational efforts. This review focuses on the diagnostic, therapeutic and theranostic potential of DA-based nanocarriers in treating cancer and neurodegenerative disorders like AD and Parkinson's disease (PD), among others. In view of the inverse relationship between cancer and AD, designing suitable DA-based theranostic nanodrug with high selectivity has tremendous implications in personalized medicine to treat cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
The study of controlling the morphology for designing advanced supramolecular architectures by tuning the molecular motif at the elemental level has been rarely carried out. Here, we report the synthesis of a nicotinic acid-conjugated selenopeptide, which induced the formation of an unbranched mesoscale elongated tubular morphology. We rationally designed two additional peptides to find out the decisive role played by the nitrogen atom (in nicotinic acid) and selenium (in the peptide backbone) toward the formation of the mesotube. We found that the peptide, devoid of nitrogen, forms a fibrillar structure, whereas the peptide without selenium self-assembled into a cylindrical filled rodlike morphology. Here, we report an entirely different class of peptide inspired from the selenopeptide chemistry that forms a tubular structure and unambiguously establish that both nicotinic acid and selenium are essential toward the formation of such mesotubes.

Abstract
The covalent and noncovalent association of self-assembling peptides and tetrapyrroles was explored as a way to generate systems that mimic Nature's functional supramolecular structures. Different types of peptides spontaneously assemble with porphyrins, phthalocyanines, or corroles to give long-range ordered architectures, whose structure is determined by the features of both components. The regular morphology and ordered molecular arrangement of these systems enhance the photochemical properties of embedded chromophores, allowing applications as photo-catalysts, antennas for dye-sensitized solar cells, biosensors, and agents for light-triggered therapies. Chemical modifications of peptide and tetrapyrrole structures and control over the assembly process can steer the organization and influence the properties of the resulting system. Here we provide a review of the field, focusing on the assemblies obtained from different classes of self-assembling peptides with tetrapyrroles, their morphologies and their applications as innovative functional materials.

Abstract
Porphyrins are widely applied for imaging, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases because of their excellent photophysical properties. However, porphyrins easily tend to aggregate driven by hydrophobic interaction and π-π stacking in an aqueous medium, which causes fluorescence quenching of the porphyrins as well as limitation of cell uptake and intracellular accumulation. Herein, cucurbit[10]uril (CB[10]) was used to fully encapsulate cationic porphyrin (CPor) in the large cavity with strong binding affinity in aqueous solutions, and the CPor aggregates were efficient disassembled, companying remarkable enhancing its fluorescence intensity. The CB[10]-based host-guest complex provided excellent protection to CPor, resulting in less susceptibility to oxidation and imparting higher photostability to CPor for cell imaging. In addition, by complexation with CB[10], it was found that the fluorescence signals and photostability of CPor were also effectively improved in cells with different reactive oxygen species levels. It is highly anticipated that the large macrocyclic host cavity-triggered large-guest encapsulation strategy in this work will provide a convenient and efficient method for designing supramolecular porphyrin dyes, thus broadening the diagnosis and imaging application in cells and microorganisms.

Abstract
Near-infrared fluorophores are emerging as promising molecular tools for cancer theranostics because of their inherent biodegradability, low toxicity, and synthetic flexibility. However, they still suffer from several limitations, such as poor photostability and insufficient organelle-targeting stability during photothermal therapy. In this work, we introduce an "aldehyde functionalization" strategy for simultaneously enhancing photostability and mitochondria-immobilization of near-infrared fluorophores for the first time. Based on the proposed strategy, representative near-infrared organic molecules, namely AF-Cy, were rationally designed and synthesized. Upon aldehyde modification, the AF-Cy dyes displayed both remarkable photostability and mitochondrial-targeting stability. The strong absorption in the near-infrared region confers the AF-Cy dyes with outstanding fluorescent/photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy capabilities. Finally, in vitro and in vivo studies revealed the enhanced performance in inhibiting the growth of breast tumors under NIR laser radiation, and these results suggested the strong potential of AF-Cy dyes as efficient multimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy agents, further highlighting the value of this simple strategy in the design high performance near-infrared fluorophores for tumor theranostics.

Abstract
Development of organic theranostic agents that are active in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) biowindow is of vital significance for treating deep-seated tumors. However, studies on organic NIR-II absorbing agents for photo-to-heat energy-converting theranostics are still rare simply because of tedious synthetic routes to construct extended π systems in the NIR-II region. Herein, we design a convenient strategy to engineer highly stable organic NIR-II absorbing theranostic nanoparticles (Nano-BFF) for effective phototheranostic applications via co-assembling first NIR (NIR-I, 650-1000 nm) absorbing boron difluoride formazanate (BFF) dye with a biocompatible polymer, endowing the Nano-BFF with remarkable theranostic performance in the NIR-II region. In vitro and in vivo investigations validate that Nano-BFF can serve as an efficient theranostic agent to achieve photoacoustic imaging guided deep-tissue photonic hyperthermia in the NIR-II biowindow, achieving dramatic inhibition toward orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma. This work thus provides an insight into the exploration of versatile organic NIR-II absorbing nanoparticles toward future practical applications.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) technology can transform light energy into acoustic wave, which can be used for either imaging or therapy that depends on the power density of pulsed laser. Here, we report photosensitizer-free polymeric nanocapsules loaded with nitric oxide (NO) donors, namely NO-NCPs, formulated from NIR light-absorbable amphiphilic polymers and a NO-releasing donor, DETA NONOate. Controlled NO release and nanocapsule dissociation are achieved in acidic lysosomes of cancer cells. More importantly, upon pulsed laser irradiation, the PA cavitation can excite water to generate significant reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radical (O2 .- ), which further spontaneously reacts with the in situ released NO to burst highly cytotoxic peroxynitrite (ONOO- ) in cancer cells. The resultant ONOO- generation greatly promotes mitochondrial damage and DNA fragmentation to initiate programmed cancer cell death. Apart from PA imaging, PA cavitation can intrinsically amplify reactive species via photosensitization-free materials for promising disease theranostics.

Abstract
There has been significant interest in the use of peptides as antimicrobial agents, and peptide containing hydrogels have been proposed as biological scaffolds for various applications. Limited stability and rapid clearance of small molecular weight peptides pose challenges to their widespread implementation. As a common approach, antibacterial peptides are physically loaded into hydrogel scaffolds, which leads to continuous release through the passive mode with spatial control but provides limited control over drug dosage. Although utilization of peptide covalent linkage onto hydrogels addresses partially this problem, the peptide release is commonly too slow. To alleviate these challenges, in this work, maleimide-modified antimicrobial peptides are covalently conjugated onto furan-based cryogel (CG) scaffolds via the Diels-Alder cycloaddition at room temperature. The furan group offers a handle for specific loading of the peptides, thus minimizing passive and burst drug release. The porous nature of the CG matrix provides rapid loading and release of therapeutic peptides, apart from high water uptake. Interfacing the peptide adduct containing a CG matrix with a reduced graphene oxide-modified Kapton substrate allows "on-demand" photothermal heating upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. A fabricated photothermal device enables tunable and efficient peptide release through NIR exposure to kill bacteria. Apart from spatial confinement offered by this CG-based bandage, the selective ablation of planktonic Staphylococcus aureus is demonstrated. It can be envisioned that this modular "on-demand" peptide-releasing device can be also employed for other topical applications by appropriate choice of therapeutic peptides.

Abstract
Currently, two-dimensional materials are being actively pursued in catalysis and other fields due their abundance of defects, which results in enhanced performance relative to their bulk defect-free counterparts. To date, the exploitation of defects in two-dimensional materials to enhance photothermal therapies has received little attention, motivating a detailed investigation. Herein, we successfully fabricated a series of novel CoFe-based photothermal agents (CoFe-x) by heating CoFe-layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) nanosheets at different temperatures (x) between 200-800 °C under a Ar atmosphere. The CoFe-x products differed in their particle size, cobalt defect concentration, and electronic structure, with the CoFe-500 product containing the highest concentration of Co2+ defects and most efficient photothermal performance under near-infrared (NIR, 808 nm) irradiation. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that Co2+ defects modify the electronic structure of CoFe-x, narrowing the band gap and thus increasing the nonradiative recombination rate, thereby improving the NIR-driven photothermal properties. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that CoFe-500 was an efficient agent for photothermal cancer treatment and also near-infrared (NIR) thermal imaging, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and photoacoustic (PA) imaging. This work provides valuable new insights about the role of defects in the rational design of nanoagents with optimized structures for improved cancer therapy.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has become an urgent health problem in the world. Especially, the evolving resistance of bacteria to antibiotics makes the issue more challenging, and thus new treatments to fight these infections are needed. Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is recognized as a novel and promising method to inactivate a wide range of bacteria with few possibilities to develop drug resistance. However, the photosensitizers (PSs) are not effective against Gram-negative bacteria in many cases. Herein, we use conjugated meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP) and triaminoguanidinium chloride (TG) to construct self-assembled cationic TCPP-TG nanoparticles (NPs) for efficient bacterial inactivation under visible light illumination. The TCPP-TG NPs can rapidly adhere to both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and display promoted singlet oxygen (1O2) generation compared with TCPP under light irradiation. The high local positive charge density of TCPP-TG NPs facilitates the interaction between the NPs and bacteria. Consequently, the TCPP-TG NPs produce an elevated concentration of local 1O2 under light irradiation, resulting in an extraordinarily high antibacterial efficiency (99.9999% inactivation of the representative bacteria within 4 min). Furthermore, the TCPP-TG NPs show excellent water dispersity and stability during 4 months of storage. Therefore, the rationally designed TCPP-TG NPs are a promising antibacterial agent for effective aPDT.

Abstract
Light is a particularly appealing tool for on-demand drug delivery due to its noninvasive nature, ease of application and exquisite temporal and spatial control. Great progress has been achieved in the development of novel light-driven drug delivery strategies with both breadth and depth. Light-controlled drug delivery platforms can be generally categorized into three groups: photochemical, photothermal, and photoisomerization-mediated therapies. Various advanced materials, such as metal nanoparticles, metal sulfides and oxides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanomaterials, upconversion nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, stimuli-responsive micelles, polymer- and liposome-based nanoparticles have been applied for light-stimulated drug delivery. In view of the increasing interest in on-demand targeted drug delivery, we review the development of light-responsive systems with a focus on recent advances, key limitations, and future directions.
