Abstract

Core-shell MOF-based smart nanocomposite UCNPs/MB@ZIF-8@catalase (UCNPs = upconversion nanoparticles; MB = methylene blue; ZIF = zeolitic imidazolate framework) has been constructed for bio-imaging and efficient NIR/H2O2-responsive photodynamic therapy against hypoxic tumor cells. The nanoporous MOF shell can prevent aggregation of photosensitizers and serve as an efficient self-sufficient oxygen gas acceptor.
