Atomically precise Au nanocluster-embedded carrageenan for single near-infrared light-triggered photothermal and photodynamic antibacterial therapy
In this study, we report atomically precise gold nanoclusters-embedded natural polysaccharide carrageenan as a novel hydrogel platform for single near-infrared light-triggered photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) antibacterial therapy. Briefly, atomically precise captopril-capped Au nanoclusters (Au25Capt18) prepared by an alkaline NaBH4 reduction method and then embedded them into the biosafe carrageenan to achieve superior PTT and PDT dual-mode antibacterial effect. In this platform, the embedded Au25Capt18, as simple-component phototherapeutic agents, exhibit superior thermal effects and singlet oxygen generation u...
