Nano-photosensitizer based on layered double hydroxide and isophthalic acid for singlet oxygenation and photodynamic therapy

Abstract

Usually, several components are needed for efficient 2-photon photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, the authors sandwiched carboxylic acids between layered double hydroxide nanosheets to obtain a single-handed biocompatible photosensitizer that generates singlet oxygen in high quantum yield.
