摘要：Near-infrared (NIR) light-induced photothermal cancer therapy using nanomaterials as photothermal agents has attracted considerable research interest over the past few years. As the key factor in photothermal therapy systems, a variety of photothermal agents have been developed. However, the exploration of novel photothermal therapy nanoplatforms with high NIR absorption remains a significant challenge, especially those working in both NIR-I and NIR-II windows. In this work, Bi₁₉S₂₇I₃ nanorods with remarkably high absorption covering the whole visible light to the entire NIR-I and NIR-II regions have been successfully prepared through a facile solvothermal approach. The as-synthesized Bi₁₉S₂₇I₃ nanorods have a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 42.7% at 808 nm (NIR-I) and 41.5% at 1064 nm (NIR-II), making them a promising candidate for photothermal therapy. In vitro cell viability assay reveals that the Bi₁₉S₂₇I₃ sample has good biocompatibility and exhibits significant cell-killing effect under NIR irradiation. In vivo anti-tumor experiments demonstrate that the tumor growth can be effectively inhibited by fatal hyperthermia ablation mediated by Bi₁₉S₂₇I₃ nanorods under the irradiation of an 808 nm or 1064 nm laser. Therefore, this study should be primarily beneficial for the development of new materials for NIR photothermal therapy applications.
