▎ 摘  要

In recent years, multifunctional nanoparticles have attracted much research interest in various biomedical applications such as biosensors, diagnosis, and drug delivery systems. In this study, we report an NIR imaging diagnosis and therapy nanoplatform which is developed by complexing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP@OA) NaLuF4:Er3+, Yb3+ with nanographene oxide (NGO). The obtained nanocomposites UCNP@NGO showed excellent stability and low cell toxicity, which not only acted as upconversion luminescence (UCL) probes for tumor imaging, but also served as therapy agents by converting laser energy into thermal energy for photothermal therapy (PTT) with high photothermal conversion efficiency. This work highlights the potential of UCNP@NGO nanocomposites as an integrated theranostic nanoplatform for the UCL image combinatorial PTT of cancer, providing a promising candidate for clinical antitumor treatments.
