Abstract

Read online

The properties of mesoporous nanomaterials have been exploited for several applications, including drug delivery and NIR-II photoacoustic imaging. Here, the authors design monodispersed semimetallic mesoporous antimony nanospheres with photothermal conversion efficiency in the second near-infrared range and drug loading capacity, showing their potential for cancer photothermal/chemo therapy.
