Abstract
Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly urgent to lower the escalating carbon dioxide (CO2) to reduce greenhouse effect. Fortunately, it is an ideal strategy by using the inexhaustible solar energy as the driving force to manipulate the cycloaddition reaction, the atomic efficiency of which is 100 %. This work represents the first attempt on utilization of rare-earth metal Tb with atomic dispersion, and the structure of Tb coordinated with 4 N-atoms and 2B-atoms was constructed on interconnected carbon hollow spheres. The introduction of electron-deficient B reduces the electron density of Tb, thereby boosting Lewis acidity and promoting the occurrence of ring-opening reaction. The mechanism exploration enunciates that TbN4B2/C is a photothermal synergistic catalyst, the combined action of photogenerated electrons and strong Lewis acidic site of Tb reduces the free energy of the rate-determining step, and then improving the yield of cyclic carbonate up to 739 mmol g-1h-1.

Abstract
Introduction: The tumor microenvironment and multidrug resistance of tumor cells seriously impair the activity of the nanozymes. Methods: Herein, a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified vanadium-doped molybdenum disulfide (V-MoS2@PEG) nanozymes were constructed to enhance anti-tumor activity through multi-enzymatic catalysis and photothermal effect with simultaneous reactive oxygen species replenishment and glutathione depletion. Results and discussion: V-MoS2@PEG nanosheets exerted peroxidase activity by causing molybdenum ion (Mo4+) to react with hydrogen peroxide to form toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Meanwhile, the V-doping can deplete glutathione avoiding ·OH consumption. In addition, the high heat generated by V-MoS2@PEG nanozymes under near-infrared laser irradiation brought about a desirable local temperature gradient, which produced an enhanced catalytic effect by promoting band bending. Furthermore, the photothermally inspired polarized charge increased the permeability of the tumor cell membrane and promoted further aggregation of the nanozymes, which realized the combination of photothermal therapy with multi-enzymatic catalysis, solved the problem of multi-enzyme catalysis, and improved the anti-tumor efficiency.

Cancer, as one of the leading causes of death worldwide, drives the advancement of cutting-edge technologies for cancer treatment. Transition-metal-based nanozymes emerge as promising therapeutic nanodrugs that provide a reference for cancer therapy. In this review, we present recent breakthrough nanozymes for cancer treatment. First, we comprehensively outline the preparation strategies involved in creating transition-metal-based nanozymes, including hydrothermal method, solvothermal method, chemical reduction method, biomimetic mineralization method, and sol-gel method. Subsequently, we elucidate the catalytic mechanisms (catalase (CAT)-like activities), peroxidase (POD)-like activities), oxidase (OXD)-like activities) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities) of transition-metal-based nanozymes along with their activity regulation strategies such as morphology control, size manipulation, modulation, composition adjustment and surface modification under environmental stimulation. Furthermore, we elaborate on the diverse applications of transition-metal-based nanozymes in anticancer therapies encompassing radiotherapy (RT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), immunotherapy, and synergistic therapy. Finally, the challenges faced by transition-metal-based nanozymes are discussed alongside future research directions. The purpose of this review is to offer scientific guidance that will enhance the clinical applications of nanozymes based on transition metals.

Abstract
Recently, nanozyme-based photothermal-catalytic therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for antitumor treatment. Extensive research has focused on optimizing the catalytic activity and photothermal conversion performance of nanozymes through size, morphology, and surface property regulations. However, the biological effects of nanozymes, such as cellular uptake and cytotoxicity, resulting from their physicochemical properties, remain largely unexplored. In this study, two types of polydopamine/platinum (PDA@Pt) nanozymes, flower-like (FPDA@Pt) and mesoporous spherical-like (MPDA@Pt), to comprehensively compare their enzyme-mimicking activity, photothermal conversion capacity, and antitumor efficiency are designed. These findings revealed that FPDA@Pt exhibited superior peroxidase-like activity and higher photothermal conversion efficiency compared to MPDA@Pt. This led to enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased heat generation at tumor sites. Importantly, it is observed thatthe flower-like structure of FPDA@Pt facilitated enhanced cellular uptake, leading to an increased accumulation of nanozymes within tumor cells. Furthermore, the light irradiation on tumors also triggered a series of anti-tumor immune responses, further enhancing the therapeutic efficacy. This work provides a possible design orientation for nanozyme-based photothermal-catalytic tumor therapy, highlighting the importance of considering the physicochemical properties of nanozymes to optimize their therapeutic potential in antitumor strategies.

Abstract
Tumors remain one of the major threats to public health and there is an urgent need to design new pharmaceutical agents for their diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, due to the rapid development of nanotechnology, biotechnology, catalytic science, and theoretical computing, subtlety has gradually made great progress in research related to tumor diagnosis and treatment. Compared to conventional drugs, enzymes can improve drug distribution and enhance drug enrichment at the tumor site, thereby reducing drug side effects and enhancing drug efficacy. Nanozymes can also be used as tumor tracking imaging agents to reshape the tumor microenvironment, providing a versatile platform for the diagnosis and treatment of malignancies. In this paper, we review the current status of research on enzymes in oncology and analyze novel oncology therapeutic approaches and related mechanisms. To date, a large number of nanomaterials, such as noble metal nanomaterials, nonmetallic nanomaterials, and carbon-based nanomaterials, have been shown to be able to function like natural enzymes, particularly with significant advantages in tumor therapy. In light of this, the authors in this review have systematically summarized and evaluated the construction, enzymatic activity, and their characteristics of nanozymes with respect to current modalities of tumor treatment. In addition, the application and research progress of different types of nicknames and their features in recent years are summarized in detail. We conclude with a summary and outlook on the study of nanozymes in tumor diagnosis and treatment. It is hoped that this review will inspire researchers in the fields of nanotechnology, chemistry, biology, materials science and theoretical computing, and contribute to the development of nano-enzymology.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) derived nitrogen-doped carbon-supported monodisperse Fe (Fe-N-C) catalysts are intensively studied, but great challenges remain in understanding the relationship between the coordination structure and the performance of Fe-N-C nanozymes. Herein, a novel nanocluster ligand-bridging strategy is proposed for constructing Fe-S1 N4 structures with axially coordinated S and Au nanoclusters on ZIF-8 derived Fe-N-C (labeled Aux /Fe-S1 N4 -C). The axial Au nanoclusters facilitate electron transfer to Fe active sites, utilizing the bridging ligand S as a medium, thereby enhancing the oxygen adsorption capacity of composite nanozymes. Compared to Fe-N-C, Aux /Fe-S1 N4 -C exhibits high oxidase-like specificity and activity, and holds great potential for detecting acetylcholinesterase activity with a detection limit of 5.1 µU mL-1 , surpassing most reported nanozymes.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with more than one enzyme-like activity are termed multienzymic nanozymes, and they have received increasing attention in recent years and hold huge potential to be applied in diverse fields, especially for biosensing and therapeutics. Compared to single enzyme-like nanozymes, multienzymic nanozymes offer various unique advantages, including synergistic effects, cascaded reactions, and environmentally responsive selectivity. Nevertheless, along with these merits, the catalytic mechanism and rational design of multienzymic nanozymes are more complicated and elusive as compared to single-enzymic nanozymes. In this review, the multienzymic nanozymes classification scheme based on the numbers/types of activities, the internal and external factors regulating the multienzymatic activities, the rational design based on chemical, biomimetic, and computer-aided strategies, and recent progress in applications attributed to the advantages of multicatalytic activities are systematically discussed. Finally, current challenges and future perspectives regarding the development and application of multienzymatic nanozymes are suggested. This review aims to deepen the understanding and inspire the research in multienzymic nanozymes to a greater extent.

Abstract
Bacterial infections originating from food, water, and soil are widely recognized as significant global public health concerns. Biofilms are implicated in approximately two-thirds of bacterial infections. In recent times, nanomaterials have emerged as potential agents for combating biofilms and bacteria, with many of them being activated by light and H2O2 to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, this energy-consuming and extrinsic substrate pattern poses many challenges for practical application. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop methods for the untriggered generation of ROS to effectively address biofilm and bacterial infections. In this study, we investigated the oxidase-like activity of the Co,N-doped carbon dot (CoNCD) nanozyme, which facilitated the oxidation of ambient O2 to generate 1O2 in the absence of light and H2O2 supplementation; this resulted in effective biofilm cleavage and enhanced bactericidal effects. CoNCDs could become a potential candidate for wound healing and treatment of acute peritonitis in vivo, which can be primarily attributed to the spontaneous production of ROS. This study presents a convenient ROS generator that does not necessitate any specific triggering conditions. The nanozyme properties of CoNCDs exhibit significant promise as a potential remedy for diseases, specifically as an anti-biofilm and anti-bacterial agent.

Although low-cost nanozymes with excellent stability have demonstrated the potential to be highly beneficial for nanocatalytic therapy (NCT), their unsatisfactory catalytic activity accompanied by intricate tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly hinders the therapeutic effect of NCT. Herein, for the first time, a heterojunction (HJ)-fabricated sonoresponsive and NIR-II-photoresponsive nanozyme is reported by assembling carbon dots (CDs) onto TiCN nanosheets. The narrow bandgap and mixed valences of Ti3+ and Ti4+ endow TiCN with the capability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to ultrasound (US), as well as the dual enzyme-like activities of peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase. Moreover, the catalytic activities and sonodynamic properties of the TiCN nanosheets are boosted by the formation of HJs owing to the increased speed of carrier transfer and the enhanced electron-hole separation. More importantly, the introduction of CDs with excellent NIR-II photothermal properties could achieve mild hyperthermia (43 °C) and thereby further improve the NCT and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) performances of CD/TiCN. The synergetic therapeutic efficacy of CD/TiCN through mild hyperthermia-amplified NCT and SDT could realize "three-in-one" multimodal oncotherapy to completely eliminate tumors without recurrence. This study opens a new avenue for exploring sonoresponsive and NIR-II-photoresponsive nanozymes for efficient tumor therapy based on semiconductor HJs.

[PMID: 38162771 PMCID: PMC10753745 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Synergistic mild photothermal/nanozyme therapy with outstanding hyperthermia performance and excellent multienzyme properties is highly needed for osteosarcoma treatment. Herein, we have developed efficient single-atom nanozymes (SANs) consisting of Mn sites atomically dispersed on nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (denoted as Mn-SANs) for synergistic mild photothermal/multienzymatic therapy against osteosarcoma. Benefiting from their black N-doped carbon nanosheet matrices, Mn-SANs showed an excellent NIR-II-triggered photothermal effect. On the other hand, Mn-SANs with atomically dispersed Mn sites have outstanding multienzyme activities. Mn-SANs can catalyze endogenous H2O2 in osteosarcoma into O2 by catalase (CAT)-like activity, which can effectively ease osteosarcoma hypoxia and trigger the oxidase (OXD)-like catalysis that converts O2 to the cytotoxic superoxide anion radical (•O2-). At the same time, Mn-SANs can also mimic glutathione oxidase (GSHOx) to effectively consume the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) in osteosarcoma and inhibit intracellular glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression. Such intratumoral •O2- production, GSH depletion, and GPX4 inactivation mediated by Mn-SANs can create a large accumulation of lipid peroxides (LPO) and •O2-, leading to oxidative stress and disrupting the redox homeostasis in osteosarcoma cells, which can ultimately induce osteosarcoma cell death. More importantly, heat shock proteins (HSPs) can be significantly destroyed via Mn-SAN-mediated plentiful LPO and •O2- generation, thus effectively impairing osteosarcoma cells resistant to mild photothermal therapy. Overall, through the cooperative effect of chemical processes (boosting •O2-, consuming GSH, and enhancing LPO) and biological processes (inactivating GPX4 and hindering HSPs), collaborative mild photothermal/multienzymatic therapy mediated by Mn-SANs is a promising strategy for efficient osteosarcoma treatment.

Abstract
Understanding origin of asymmetric information encoded on chiral nanozymes is important in mediating enantioselective catalysis. Herein, the supramolecular chiral nanozymes constructed from P/M-polyaniline (P/M-PANI) nanotwists and metal ions (M2+ , M = Cu, Ni, Co, and Zn) are designed through thioglycolic acid (TA) without chiral molecules to show the regulated catalytic efficiency and enantioselectivity. With combination of chiral environment from supramolecular scaffolds and catalytic center from metal ions, the P-PANI-TA-M2+ as nanozymes show preference to 3,4-dihydroxy-S-phenylalanine (S-DOPA) oxidation while the M-PANI-TA-M2+ show better selectivity to R-DOPA oxidation. Among them, though the Cu2+ doped supramolecular nanotwists show the highest catalytic efficiency, the Co2+ doped ones with moderate catalytic efficiency can exhibit the best enantioselectivity with select factor as high as 2.07. The molecular dynamic (MD) simulation clarifies the mechanism of enantioselective catalysis caused by the differential kinetics with S/R-DOPA enantiomers adsorbed on chiral PANI surface and free in solution. This work systematically studies the synergistic effect between the chiral supramolecular nanostructures assembled by achiral species and metal ions as peroxidase-like catalytic centers to regulate the enantioselectivity, providing deep understanding of the origin of asymmetric catalysis and serving as strong foundation to guide the design of nanozymes with high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Biofilms are structured communities of microbial cells embedded in a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances. Biofilms are associated with many health issues in humans, including chronic wound infections and tooth decay. Current antimicrobials are often incapable of disrupting the polymeric biofilm matrix and reaching the bacteria within. Alternative approaches are needed. Here, we described a complex structure of a dextran-coated gold-in-gold cage nanoparticle that enabled photoacoustic and photothermal properties for biofilm detection and treatment. Activation of these nanoparticles with a near infrared laser could selectively detect and kill biofilm bacteria with precise spatial control and in a short timeframe. We observed a strong biocidal effect against both Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in mouse models of oral plaque and wound infections, respectively. These effects were over 100 times greater than those seen with chlorhexidine, a conventional antimicrobial agent. Moreover, this approach did not adversely affect surrounding tissues. We concluded that photothermal ablation using theranostic nanoparticles is a rapid, precise, and nontoxic method to detect and treat biofilm-associated infections.

Abstract
Nanomaterials that mimic the catalytic activity of natural enzymes in the complex biological environment of the human body are called nanozymes. Recently, nanozyme systems have been reported with diagnostic, imaging, and/or therapeutic capabilities. Smart nanozymes strategically exploit the tumor microenvironment (TME) by the in situ generation of reactive species or by the modulation of the TME itself to result in effective cancer therapy. This topical review focuses on such smart nanozymes for cancer diagnosis, and therapy modalities with enhanced therapeutic effects. The dominant factors that guide the rational design and synthesis of nanozymes for cancer therapy include an understanding of the dynamic TME, structure-activity relationships, surface chemistry for imparting selectivity, and site-specific therapy, and stimulus-responsive modulation of nanozyme activity. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the subject including the diverse catalytic mechanisms of different types of nanozyme systems, an overview of the TME, cancer diagnosis, and synergistic cancer therapies. The strategic application of nanozymes in cancer treatment can well be a game changer in future oncology. Moreover, recent developments may pave the way for the deployment of nanozyme therapy into other complex healthcare challenges, such as genetic diseases, immune disorders, and ageing.

Abstract
With the recent interest in the role of oxidative species/radicals in diseases, inorganic nanomaterials with redox activities have been extensively investigated for their potential use in nanomedicine. While many studies focusing on relieving oxidative stress to prevent pathogenesis and to suppress the progression of diseases have shown considerable success, another approach for increasing oxidative stress using nanomaterials to kill malignant cells has suffered from low efficiency despite its wide applicability to various targets. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging technique that can resolve such a problem by exploiting the characteristic tumour microenvironment to achieve high selectivity. In this review, we summarize the recent strategies and underlying mechanisms that have been used to improve the CDT performance using inorganic nanoparticles. In addition to the design of CDT agents, the effects of contributing factors, such as the acidity and the levels of hydrogen peroxide and antioxidants in the tumour microenvironment, together with their modulation and application in combination therapy, are presented. The challenges lying ahead of future clinical translation of this rapidly advancing technology are also discussed.

Abstract
Hyperthermia therapy is a hotspot because of its minimally invasive treatment process and strong targeting effect. Herein, a synergistic magnetic and photothermal therapeutic nanoplatform is rationally constructed. The well-dispersive mSiO2-SmCox nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized through a one-step procedure with the regulated theoretical molar ratio of Sm/Co among 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4 for controlling the dispersion and magnetism properties of SmCox NPs in situ growth in the pore structure of mesoporous SiO2 (mSiO2), where mSiO2 with diverse porous structures and high specific surface areas serving for locating the permanent magnetic SmCox NPs. The mSiO2-SmCox (Sm/Co = 1:2) NPs with highly dispersed and uniform morphology has an average diameter of ∼73.08 nm. The photothermal conversion efficiency of mSiO2-SmCox (Sm/Co = 1:2) NPs was determined to be nearly 41%. The further in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor evaluation of mSiO2-SmCox (Sm/Co = 1:2) NPs present promising potentials for hyperthermia-induced tumor therapy due to magnetic and photothermal effects.

Abstract
Au nanozymes are extensively researched for their photothermal effect and catalytic performance, but overcoming the inherent defects of poor dispersibility and thermal stability through complementary materials will expand their prospects for biological applications. Herein, several novel CAu nanozymes were fabricated by in situ reduction of chloroauric acid on hollow carbon nanospheres (HCNs). Through regulating the number of reductions, sesame ball-shaped CAu (sCAu) with highly dispersed Au nanoparticles and diversity-shaped CAu (dCAu) were obtained. The number and morphology of loaded Au nanoparticles, absorption spectra, and hydrophilicity of CAu nanozymes were systematically characterized to demonstrate the flexibility of this novel method. The high-efficiency peroxidase-like sCAu0.3 nanozyme with hyperthermia-activated property was then screened for later bio-application. It is worth mentioning that its photothermal-promoted peroxidase-like activity could be achieved under near-infrared laser irradiation. Moreover, sCAu0.3 could specifically achieve glutathione detection in human blood samples. This method will provide a protocol for the regulation of CAu nanozymes to adapt to bio-detection applications.

Abstract
Nanozymes have shown promising potential in disease treatment owing to the advantages of low-cost, facile fabrication, and high stability. However, the highly complex tumor microenvironment (TME) and inherent low catalytic activity severely restrict the clinical applications of nanozymes. Herein, a novel mild hyperthermia-enhanced nanocatalytic therapy platform based on Z-scheme heterojunction nanozymes by depositing N-doped carbon dots (CDs) onto Nb2 C nanosheets is constructed. CD@Nb2 C nanozymes not only display outstanding photothermal effects in the safe and efficient NIR-II window but also possess triple enzyme-mimic activities to obtain amplified ROS levels. The triple enzyme-mimic activities and NIR-II photothermal properties of CD nanozymes are enhanced by the construction of Z-scheme heterojunctions owing to the accelerated carrier transfer process. More importantly, the introduction of mild hyperthermia can further improve the peroxidase-mimic and catalase-mimic activities as well as the glGSH depletion abilities of CD@Nb2 C nanozymes, thereby producing more ROS to efficiently inhibit tumor growth. The combined therapy effect of CD@Nb2 C nanozymes through mild NIR-II photothermal-enhanced nanocatalytic therapy can achieve complete tumor eradication. This work highlights the efficient tumor therapy potential of heterojunction nanozymes.

Flexible Hollow Human Serum Albumin-Catalase Nanocapsules with High Accumulation and Uptake Ability for Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy. Int J Nanomedicine 2023; 18:527-539. [PMID: 36742990 PMCID: PMC9894082 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s393194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted increasing attention for tumor treatment because of its minimal invasiveness and specific spatiotemporal selectivity. However, insufficient tumor accumulation and low cellular uptake of photosensitizers limit its therapeutic efficacy. Methods In this study, flexible hollow human serum albumin/catalase nanocapsules (HSA/CATs) were created using a core-assisted protein-coating method and combined with the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (HSA/CAT@Ce6) for PDT. Results and Discussion Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images demonstrate that HSA/CAT nanocapsules are flexible, with a uniform diameter (310 nm) and a well-defined hollow structure. Thanks to their flexibility, HSA/CAT@Ce6 nanocapsules show a higher cellular uptake than rigid nanoparticles. The nanocapsules effectively generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in 4T1 cells because of their high cellular uptake and catalytic capacity, remarkably enhancing their in vitro PDT efficacy. In addition, the in vivo tumor accumulation of HSA/CAT@Ce6 nanocapsules is significantly larger than that of rigid nanoparticles and Ce6, meaning they are highly effective in tumor cell ablation. This demonstrates that our flexible nanoplatform holds great promise for enhancing PDT of tumor.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanostructured artificial enzymes that have attracted great attention among researchers because of their ability to mimic relevant biological reactions carried out by their natural counterparts, but with the capability to overcome natural enzymes’ drawbacks such as low thermostability or narrow substrate scope. The promising enzyme-like properties of these systems make nanozymes excellent candidates for innovative solutions in different scientific fields such as analytical chemistry, catalysis or medicine. Thus, nanozymes with different type of activities are of special interest owing to their versatility since they can reproduce several biological reactions according to the substrates and the environmental conditions. In this context, gold-based nanozymes are a representative example of multifunctional structures that can perform a great number of enzyme-like activities. In addition, the combination of gold-based materials with structures of organic and inorganic chemical nature yields even more powerful hybrid nanozymes, which enhance their activity by providing improved features. This review will carry out a deep insight into gold-based nanozymes, revisiting not only the different type of biological enzymatic reactions that can be achieved with these kinds of systems, but also structural features of some of the most relevant hybrid gold-based nanozymes described in the literature. This literature review will also provide a representative picture of the potential of these structures to solve future technological challenges.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Tumor treatments based on phototherapy, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), are promising anticancer strategies. However, their dependence on light also poses several limitations for their application. Therefore, the establishment of a multifunctional nanotheranostic platform based on light therapy is needed to improve applicability of the technology. EXPERIMENTS We designed yolk-shell magnetic Fe3O4@Carbon@Platinum-Chlorin e6 nanoparticles (MCPtCe6), which may be used for Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and synergistic catalytic-photodynamic-photothermal (catalytic-PDT-PTT) tumor therapy. FINDINGS We designed to compound multiple nanozymes and solve the drawbacks of single nanozyme and give additional functionalization to nanozymes for tumor therapy. Fe3O4 has T2 weighted MRI ability. The designed yolk-shell structure can disperse Fe3O4 in the carbon shell layer, which in turn can act as a carrier for PtNPs and improve the dispersion of both Fe3O4 and Pt. Pt nanoparticles attached to the surface of N-doped carbon spheres enhanced the catalytic ability of the nanozyme to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The covalently linked photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) on the Fe3O4@C@Pt (MCPt) nanozyme is essential for the therapeutic effects of PDT. MCPtCe6 can be specifically activated by the microenvironment through an enzyme-like catalytic process and extend PDT/PTT in acidic and H2O2-rich microenvironments. The results showed that MCPtCe6 had a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 28.28%), indicating its feasibility for PTT. Further cellular and animal studies have revealed that catalytic-PDT-PTT therapy can effectively inhibit tumors both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been widely employed in tumor treatment due to the non-invasive, highly selective, and low toxic side effects. However, the limited penetration of laser couples with the metastasis and recurrence of tumors, thus failing to eliminate them. Here, we report that ceria-loaded gold@platinum (CeO2/Au@Pt) nanospheres modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG). exhibit dual enzymatic activities for photothermal-catalytic synergistic therapy of tumors. CeO2/Au@Pt nanospheres are constructed through the loading of ultra-small CeO2 into core-shell Au@Pt nanospheres. In such a construct, Au@Pt enables targeted PTT, thanks to exceptional photothermal properties, while CeO2 nanozymes alleviate tumor hypoxia and kill tumor cells by producing highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) based on catalase- and peroxidase-like activities. Synergistic photothermal-catalytic therapy is achieved by delivering nanozymes to the tumor microenvironment (TME) coupled with PTT. This photothermal-catalytic approach that combines simultaneous exogenous and endogenous activation is a potential option for tumor co-therapy.

Abstract
Single photothermal therapy (PTT) has many limitations in tumor treatments. Multifunctional nanomaterials can cooperate with PTT to achieve profound tumor killing performance. Herein, we encapsulated chemotherapeutic drug camptothecin (CPT) and pyrite (FeS2) with dual enzyme activity (glutathione oxidase (GSH-OXD) and peroxidase (POD) activities) into an injectable hydrogel to form a CFH system, which can improve the level of intratumoral oxidative stress, and simultaneously realize FeS2-mediated PTT and nanozymes catalytic treatment. After laser irradiation, the hydrogel gradually heats up and softens under the photothermal agent FeS2. The CPT then released from CFH to tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby enhancing the H2O2 level. As a result, FeS2 can catalyze H2O2 to produce ·OH, and cooperate with high temperature to achieve high-efficiency tumor therapy. It is worth noting that FeS2 can also deplete excess glutathione (GSH) in the cellular level, further amplifying oxidative stress. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments show that our CFH exhibits good tumor-specific cytotoxicity. The CFH we developed provides new insights for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Noble metals act as nanozymes that can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) by catalysis to induce apoptosis of tumor cells for cancer therapy. But they are easy to aggregate, which will affect their further application. Carbon materials are often used as the carrier of noble metals to improve their catalytic performance. However, designing a composite structure to build an efficient carbon/noble metal hybrid nanozyme with high catalytic performance for tumor therapy is still a significant challenge. In this work, a core-in-shell structure nanozyme composed of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) embedded in nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanoshells (AuNPs@N-HCNs) were fabricated, which exhibited peroxidase-like (POD-like) and oxidase-like (OXD-like) activity. Compared with core-out-of-shell structure composite, the AuNPs@N-HCNs showed a better ability to generate ROS to kill tumor cells. Furthermore, AuNPs@N-HCNs also exhibited satisfactory photothermal conversion properties, which helped build a platform for photothermal therapy. Meanwhile, the enzyme activity produced by AuNPs@N-HCNs increased significantly under light irradiation. Comparing the size of AuNPs in carbon shell, 15 nm AuNPs were better than 2 nm in both enzyme-like activities and in vivo therapeutic effect. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that under the synergistic effect of light-enhancing nanozyme catalysis and photothermal therapy, AuNPs@N-HCNs could induce cancer cell apoptosis and destroy tumors effectively, which provided evidence for the feasibility of tumor catalytic-photothermal treatment.

Abstract
Nanozymes are inorganic nanostructures whose enzyme mimic activities are increasingly explored in disease treatment, taking inspiration from natural enzymes. The catalytic ability of nanozymes to generate reactive oxygen species can be used for designing effective antimicrobials and antitumor therapeutics. In this context, composite nanozymes are advantageous, particularly because they integrate the properties of various nanomaterials to offer a single multifunctional platform combining photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Hence, recent years have witnessed great progress in engineering composite nanozymes for enhanced pro-oxidative activity that can be utilized in therapeutics. Therefore, the present review traverses over the newer strategies to design composite nanozymes as pro-oxidative therapeutics. It provides recent trends in the use of composite nanozymes as antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antitumor agents. This review also analyzes various challenges yet to be overcome by pro-oxidative composite nanozymes before being used in the field.

Abstract
In the present work, cytidine 5'-monophosphate capped gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@CMP) are reported as a catalyst for redox reactions, which show both oxidase- and excellent peroxidase-like activity. When employing 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a substrate in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the maximum velocity (Vmax) was 175 × 10-8 M s-1 in vitro. Besides, the AuNCs@CMP exhibited high catalytic activity for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation with H2O2. Particularly, they also displayed excellent catalytic activity for ROS generation in tumor cells, being activated and promoted by the tumor microenvironment (TME). Consequently, the AuNCs@CMP show an excellent antitumor effect on HeLa and SW480 cells as assayed by flow cytometry. The antitumor mechanism of AuNCs@CMP was attributed to the high ROS generation based on the specific environments of the TME. Therefore, the present study provides TME-adaptive AuNCs@CMP with excellent mimetic peroxidase activity, producing significant ROS to kill the tumor cells in TME.

Abstract
Herein, a flower-shaped fluorescent probe was proposed for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and levofloxacin (LVF) sensing based on MoOx QDs@Co/Zn-MOFs with porous structure. Both MoOx QDs and Co/Zn-MOFs exhibited peroxidase-like properties, and the combination of them greatly aroused the synergistic catalytic capabilities between them. In o-Phenylenediamine (OPD)-H2O2 system, MoOx QDs@Co/Zn-MOFs efficiently catalyzed H2O2 to produce •OH and then oxidized OPD to its oxidation product (OxOPD). The OxOPD could not only emit blue fluorescence, but also inhibit the fluorescent intensity of MoOx QDs through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Moreover, when introducing LVF into the system, the fluorescent intensities of MoOx QDs increased along with the aggregation of themselves while that of OxOPD remained unchanged, which was explained by the joint behavior of FRET and photo-induced electron transfer (PET) instead of the conventional aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE). With these observation, the proposed probe was employed for H2O2 and LVF determination in biological samples with the limit of detection (LOD) of 32.60 pmol/L and 0.85 μmol/L, respectively, suggesting the method holds great promises for trace H2O2 and LVF monitoring in eco-environment.

Abstract
We present a method for producing gold nanorods surrounded by a hollow polymeric shell of polystyrenesulfonate and show that the cavities of such particles can be filled with various organic dyes. The approach consists of covering gold nanorods with silica, followed by its slow hydrolysis in an aqueous medium in the presence of the polymer thin layer permeable for dye molecules. The proposed method enables the yolk-shell nanoparticles to be obtained and loaded with organic dyes without a need to use thermal treatment and/or chemical etching, which makes it suitable for use in the creation of spasers.

Abstract
MetalN-coordinated centers supported by carbonaceous substrates have emerged as promising artificial metalloenzymes (AMEs) to mimic the biocatalytic effects of their natural counterparts. However, the synthesis of well-defined AMEs that contain different atomic metalN centers but present similar physicochemical and coordination structures remains a substantial challenge. Here, 20 different types of AMEs with similar geometries and well-defined atomic metalN-coordinated centers are synthesized to compare and disclose the catalytic activities, substrate selectivities, kinetics, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) products. Their oxidase (OXD)-, peroxidase (POD)-, and halogen peroxidase (HPO)-mimetic catalytic behaviors are systematically explored. The Fe-AME shows the highest OXD- and HPO-mimetic activities compared to the other AMEs due to its high vmax (0.927 × 10-6 m s-1 ) and low Km (1.070 × 10-3 m), while the Cu-AME displays the best POD-like performance. Furthermore, theoretical calculation reveals that the ROS-catalytic paths and activities are highly related to the electronic structures of the metal centers. Benefiting from its facile adsorption of H2 O2 molecule and lower energy barrier to generating •O2 - , the Fe-AME displays higher ROS-catalytic performances than the Mn-AME. The engineered AMEs show not only remarkably high ROS-catalytic performances but also provide new guidance toward developing metalN-coordinated biocatalysts for broad application fields.

Abstract
With the outbreak of COVID-19, microbial pollution has gained increasing attention as a threat to human health. Consequently, many research efforts are being devoted to the development of efficient disinfection methods. In this context, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stands out as a green and broad-spectrum disinfectant, which can be produced and sprayed in the air directly by cavitation in ultrasonic nebulisation. However, the yield of H2O2 obtained by ultrasonic nebulisation is too low to satisfy the requirements for disinfection by spraying and needs to be improved to achieve efficient disinfection of the air and objects. Herein, we report the introduction of a zinc layer into an ultrasonic nebuliser to improve the production of H2O2 and generate additional Zn2+ by self-corrosion, achieving good disinfecting performance. Specifically, a zinc layer was assembled on the oscillator plate of a commercial ultrasonic nebuliser, resulting in a 21-fold increase in the yield of H2O2 and the production of 4.75 μg/mL Zn2+ in the spraying droplets. When the generated water mist was used to treat a bottle polluted with Escherichia coli for 30 min, the sterilisation rate reached 93.53%. This ultrasonic nebulisation using a functional zinc layer successfully enhanced the production of H2O2 while generating Zn2+, providing a platform for the development of new methodologies of spray disinfection.

Abstract
Two dimensional black phosphorus nanosheets (BP NSs) have attracted plenty of attention in the research field of cancer photonic therapy. However, the poor stability and relatively low efficiency of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation of BP NSs limit their practical application. To address these drawbacks, herein we report a red/black phosphorus (RP/BP) composite nanosheet, M-RP/BP@ZnFe2O4, which was synthesized by (1) partially converting red phosphorus (RP) to black phosphorus (BP) followed by liquid-phase ultrasonic exfoliation to form RP/BP NSs, (2) in situ synthesis of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles on the surface of RP/BP NSs, (3) and wrapping with the MCF-7 cell membrane. Due to the presence of RP, BP, ZnFe2O4 and the cell membrane, the M-RP/BP@ZnFe2O4 NSs exhibited high performance in cancer phototherapy with the following features: (i) a Z-scheme heterojunction structure was formed between RP/BP NSs thus enabling high separation efficiency of the photogenerated electrons and holes; (ii) the photoexcitation holes in the valence band of RP can break the tumor microenvironment by oxidizing glutathione; (iii) the NSs could decompose water to produce H2O2 and O2, which can be further converted to toxic ˙OH through the ZnFe2O4 catalyzed Fenton reaction and 1O2 through energy transfer, respectively; and (iv) the cell membrane wrapping improved the targeting of the composite NSs at the tumor site and photonic therapy can be finally triggered by a 660 nm laser to convert O2 to ˙O2- and 1O2. The in vitro cytotoxicity experiments showed that more than 90% cells were killed after photodynamic therapy (PDT) at 0.3 mg mL-1 M-RP/BP@ZnFe2O4 NSs, and the animal experiments with xenograft tumor model mice indicated that tumor growth was completely inhibited and the highest survival rate of 83.3% at 60 days post PDT was obtained.

Abstract
Photothermal (PT)-enhanced Fenton-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted a significant amount of research attention over the last five years as a highly effective, safe, and tumor-specific nanomedicine-based therapy. CDT is a new emerging nanocatalyst-based therapeutic strategy for the in situ treatment of tumors via the Fenton reaction or Fenton-like reaction, which has got fast progress in recent years because of its high specificity and activation by endogenous substances. A variety of multifunctional nanomaterials such as metal-, metal oxide-, and metal-sulfide-based nanocatalysts have been designed and constructed to trigger the in situ Fenton or Fenton-like reaction within the tumor microenvironment (TME) to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which is highly efficient for the killing of tumor cells. However, research is still required to enhance the curative outcomes and minimize its side effects. Specifically, the therapeutic efficiency of certain CDTs is still hindered by the TME, including low levels of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), overexpression of reduced glutathione (GSH), and low catalytic efficacy of Fenton or Fenton-like reactions (pH 5.6-6.8), which makes it difficult to completely cure cancer using monotherapy. For this reason, photothermal therapy (PTT) has been utilized in combination with CDT to enhance therapeutic efficacy. More interestingly, tumor heating during PTT not only causes damage to the tumor cells but can also accelerate the generation of •OH via the Fenton and Fenton-like reactions, thus enhancing the CDT efficacy, providing more effective cancer treatment when compared with monotherapy. Currently, synergistic PT-enhanced CDT using multifunctional nanomaterials with both PT and chemodynamic properties has made enormous progress in cancer theranostics. However, there has been no comprehensive review on this subject published to date. In this review, we first summarize the recent progress in PT-enhanced Fenton-based CDT for cancer treatment. We then discuss the potential and challenges in the future development of PT-enhanced Fenton-based nanocatalytic tumor therapy for clinical application.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been extensively investigated for their use in various biomedical applications. Owing to their biocompatibility, simple surface modifications, and electrical and unique optical properties, AuNPs are considered promising nanomaterials for use in in vitro disease diagnosis, in vivo imaging, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications. The functionality of AuNPs may be further expanded by producing hybrid nanocomposites with polymers that provide additional functions, responsiveness, and improved biocompatibility. Polymers may deliver large quantities of drugs or genes in therapeutic applications. A polymer alters the surface charges of AuNPs to improve or modulate cellular uptake efficiency and their biodistribution in the body. Furthermore, designing the functionality of nanocomposites to respond to an endo- or exogenous stimulus, such as pH, enzymes, or light, may facilitate the development of novel therapeutic applications. In this review, we focus on the recent progress in the use of AuNPs and Au-polymer nanocomposites in therapeutic applications such as drug or gene delivery, photothermal therapy, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Though numerous external-stimuli-triggered tumor therapies, including phototherapy, radiotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy have made great progress in cancer therapy, the low penetration depth of the laser, safety concerns of radiation, the therapeutic resistance, and the spatio-temporal constraints of the specific equipment restrict their convenient clinical applications. What is more, the inherent physiological barriers of the tumor microenvironment (TME), including hypoxia, heterogeneity, and high expression of antioxidant molecules also restrict the efficiency of tumor therapy. As a result, the development of nanoplatforms responsive to endogenous stimuli (such as glucose, acidic pH, cellular redox events, and etc.) has attracted great attention for starvation therapy, ion therapy, prodrug-mediated chemotherapy, or enzyme-catalyzed therapy. In addition, nanomedicines can be modified by some targeted units for precisely locating in subcellular organelles and boosting the destroying of tumor tissue, decreasing the dosage of nanoagents, reducing side effects, and enhancing the therapeutic efficiency. Herein, the properties of the TME, the advantages of endogenous stimuli, and the principles of subcellular-organelle-targeted strategies will be emphasized. Some necessary considerations for the exploitation of precision medicine and clinical translation of multifunctional nanomedicines in the future are also pointed out.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has proved the importance of fast and widespread diagnostic testing to prevent serious epidemics timely. The first-line weapon against rapidly transmitted disease is a quick and massive screening test to isolate patients immediately, preventing dissemination. Here, we described magnetoplasmonic nanozymes (MagPlas NZs), i.e., hierarchically coassembled Fe3O4-Au superparticles, that are capable of integrating magnetic enrichment and catalytic amplification, thereby the assay can be streamlined amenable to high-throughput operation and achieve ultrahigh sensitivity. Combining this advantage with conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we propose a MagPlas ELISA for urine-based tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and anti-TB therapy monitoring, which enables fast (<3 h), and highly sensitive (up to pM with naked-eyes, < 10 fM with plate reader) urinary TB antigen detection. A clinical study with a total of 297 urine samples showed robust sensitivity for pulmonary tuberculosis (85.0%) and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (52.8%) patients with high specificity (96.7% and 96.9%). Furthermore, this methodology offers a great promise of noninvasive therapeutic response monitoring, which is impracticable in the gold-standard culture method. The MagPlas ELISA showed high sensitivity comparable to the PCR assay while retaining a simple and cheap ELISA concept, thus it could be a promising point-of-care test for TB epidemic control and possibly applied to other acute infections.

Abstract
Biofilm microenvironment (BME)-activated antimicrobial agents display great potential for improved biofilm-related infection therapy because of their superior specificities and sensitivities, effective eliminations, and minimal side effects. Herein, BME-activated Fe-doped polydiaminopyridine nanofusiform-mediated single-atom nanozyme (FePN SAzyme) is presented for photothermal/chemodynamic synergetic bacteria-infected wound therapy. The photothermal therapy (PTT) function of SAzyme can be specifically initiated by the high level of H2 O2 and further accelerated through mild acid within the inflammatory environment through "two-step rocket launching-like" process. Additionally, the enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for the FePN SAzyme can also be endowed by producing hydroxyl radicals through reacting with H2 O2 and consuming glutathione (GSH) of the BME, thereby contributing to more efficient synergistic therapeutic effect. Meanwhile, FePN SAzyme could catalyze biofilm-overexpressed H2 O2 decomposing into O2 and overcome the hypoxia of biofilm, which significantly enhances the susceptibility of biofilm and increases the synergistic efficacy. Most importantly, the synergistic therapy of bacterial-induced infection diseases can be switched on by the internal and external stimuli simultaneously, resulting in minimal nonspecific damage to healthy tissue. These remarkable characteristics of FePN SAzyme not only develop an innovative strategy for the BME-activated combination therapy but also open a new avenue to explore other nanozyme-involved nanoplatforms for bacterial biofilm infections.

Abstract
Phototherapy, with minimally invasive and cosmetic effect, has received considerable attention and been widely studied in cancer treatment, especially in biomaterials field. However, most nanomaterials applied for the delivery of phototherapy agents are usually recognized by the immune system or cleared by liver and kidney, thus hindering their clinical applications. To overcome these limitations, bionic technology stands out by virtue of its low antigenicity and targeting properties, including membrane bionics and bionic enzymes. In this review, we will summarize the up-to-date progress in the development of biomimetic camouflage-based nanomaterials for phototherapy, from synthesis to application, and their future in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Yolk-shell or rattle-type particles consist of a core particle that is free to move inside a thin shell. A stable core with a fully accessible surface is of interest in fields such as catalysis and sensing. However, the stability of a charged nanoparticle core within the cavity of a charged thin shell remains largely unexplored. Liquid-cell (scanning) transmission electron microscopy is an ideal technique to probe the core-shell interactions at nanometer spatial resolution. Here, we show by means of calculations and experiments that these interactions are highly tunable. We found that in dilute solutions adding a monovalent salt led to stronger confinement of the core to the middle of the geometry. In deionized water, the Debye length κ-1 becomes comparable to the shell radius Rshell, leading to a less steep electric potential gradient and a reduced core-shell interaction, which can be detrimental to the stability of nanorattles. For a salt concentration range of 0.5-250 mM, the repulsion was relatively long-ranged due to the concave geometry of the shell. At salt concentrations of 100 and 250 mM, the core was found to move almost exclusively near the shell wall, which can be due to hydrodynamics, a secondary minimum in the interaction potential, or a combination of both. The possibility of imaging nanoparticles inside shells at high spatial resolution with liquid-cell electron microscopy makes rattle particles a powerful experimental model system to learn about nanoparticle interactions. Additionally, our results highlight the possibilities for manipulating the interactions between core and shell that could be used in future applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-mediated cancer therapeutics is a fast developing field and has been utilized in potential clinical applications. However, most effective therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radio therapy (RT), are strongly oxygen-dependent, which hinders their practical applications. Later on, several strategies were developed to overcome tumor hypoxia, such as oxygen carrier nanomaterials and oxygen generated nanomaterials. Among these, oxygen species generation on nanozymes, especially catalase (CAT) mimetic nanozymes, convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to oxygen (O2) and peroxidase (POD) mimetic nanozymes converts endogenous H2O2 to water (H2O) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a hypoxic tumor microenvironment is a fascinating approach. The present review provides a detailed examination of past, present and future perspectives of POD mimetic nanozymes for effective oxygen-dependent cancer phototherapeutics.

Abstract
It is of utmost urgency to achieve effective and safe anticancer treatment with the increasing mortality rate of cancer. Novel anticancer drugs and strategies need to be designed for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are new strategies to enhance anticancer efficacy due to their capacity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxygen (O2). On the one hand, the generated ROS can damage the cancer cells directly. On the other hand, the generated O2 can relieve the hypoxic condition in the tumor microenvironment (TME) which hinders efficient photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, etc. Therefore, CDT can be used together with many other therapeutic strategies for synergistically enhanced combination therapy. The antitumor applications of Fenton- and Fenton-like reaction-based nanomaterials will be discussed in this review, including: (iþ) producing abundant ROS in-situ to kill cancer cells directly, (ii) enhancing therapeutic efficiency indirectly by Fenton reaction-mediated combination therapy, (iii) diagnosis and monitoring of cancer therapy. These strategies exhibit the potential of CDT-based nanomaterials for efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) to treat established diseases and has attracted growing attention in the field of cancer therapy. However, in a tumor microenvironment (TME), the inherent hypoxia and high level of antioxidants severely hamper the efficacy of ROS generation. Here, we describe a cascaded amplifier nanoreactor based on self-assembled nanofusiforms for persistent oxygenation to amplify ROS levels. The nanofusiform assembly is capable of photothermal and photodynamic treatment and regulation of redox oxidation stress by antioxidant depletion to prevent ROS tolerance. The Pt nanozyme decoration of the nanofusiform enables efficient oxygen supplements via Pt nanozyme-catalyzed decomposition of H2O2 overexpressed in TME and generation of O2. Furthermore, the temperature elevation resulted from the photothermal effect of the nanofusiform increases the catalase-like catalytic activity of the Pt nanozyme for boosted oxygen generation. Thus, such a triple cascade strategy using nanozyme-based nanofusiforms amplifies the ROS level by continuous oxygenation, enhancing the efficacy of PDT in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, an in vivo multi-modal imaging including near-infrared fluorescence imaging, photothermal imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging achieves precise tumor diagnosis. The rationally designed nanofusiform acts as an efficient ROS amplifier through multidimension strengthening of continuous oxygenation, providing a potential smart nanodrug for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Exploiting new non-metal-based peroxidase-mimic nanoenzymes for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) in cancer treatment is an active and challenging field. Here, we found that activated carbon nanoparticles (denoted as ANs) fabricated from coconut shell have satisfactory peroxidase-mimic nanoenzyme activity. Based on this positive result, gadodiamide, a clinically used nuclear magnetic imaging contrast agent, was loaded inside the AN pores and encapsulated by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to obtain Gd@PANs. PANs (ANs modified using PVP) efficiently catalyze the massive decomposition of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) inside cancer cells to produce toxic oxidized hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) for the CDT treatment of cancer, but they showed no toxicity toward normal cells. Additionally, under 808 nm laser irradiation, the photothermal conversion efficiency of the PANs reaches 45.20%, ensuring their effective photothermal therapy (PTT) treatment functionality. Simultaneously, during PTT treatment, the heating effect significantly enhances the peroxidase-mimic activity of the PANs to achieve an ideal PTT-CDT synergistic therapeutic outcome. Gd@PANs can also be used for the T1-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of tumors to integrate treatment and diagnosis.
