Abstract

Aiming to achieve versatile phototheranostics with the integrated functionalities of multiple diagnostic imaging and synergistic therapy, the optimum use of dissipated energy through both radiative and nonradiative pathways is definitely appealing, yet a significantly challenging task. To the best of the knowledge, there have been no previous reports on a single molecular species effective at affording all phototheranostic modalities including fluorescence imaging (FLI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), photothermal imaging (PTI), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT). Herein, a simple and highly powerful one‐for‐all phototheranostics based on aggregation‐induced emission (AIE)‐active fluorophores is tactfully designed and constructed. Thanks to its strong electron donor–acceptor interaction and finely modulated intramolecular motion, the AIE fluorophore‐based nanoparticles simultaneously exhibit bright near‐infrared II (NIR‐II) fluorescence emission, efficient reactive oxygen species generation, and high photothermal conversion efficiency upon NIR irradiation, indicating the actualization of a balance between radiative and nonradiative energy dissipations. Furthermore, the unprecedented performance on NIR‐II FLI‐PAI‐PTI trimodal‐imaging‐guided PDT–PTT synergistic therapy is demonstrated by the precise tumor diagnosis and complete tumor elimination outcomes. This study thus brings a new insight into the development of superior versatile phototheranostics for practical cancer theranostics.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
