Photothermal nanoreactor with rapid charge transfer and improved spectral utilization is a key point in photocatalysis research. Herein, silver sulfide quantum dots (AgS QDs) were coating on the surface of porous graphitic carbon nitride nano vesicles (PCNNVs) to form AgS/PCNNVs nanoreactors by a simple calcination method for obtaining efficient photothermal-assisted photocatalytic hydrogen (H) evolution under simulated/real sunlight irradiation. In particularly, the as-prepared optimal 3% AgS/PCNNVs sample exhibited the H production rate of 34.8 mmol h g, which was 3.5 times higher than that of bare PCNNVs. The enhancement of photothermal-assisted activity over the AgS/PCNNVs composite system is mainly attributed to the coupling of the photothermal conversion performance of AgS QDs and the thermal insulation performance of PCNNVs based on the plasmonic coupling-boosted photothermal nanoreactor. This study presents a promising strategy for the development of high-efficient photothermal-assisted photocatalysts.

Phototherapy holds great promise for cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, precise spatiotemporal control, and theranostic potential. However, its efficacy is often limited by the hypoxic and stroma-rich tumor microenvironment (TME), which restricts reactive oxygen species generation and drug penetration. Here, we present a multifunctional cascade nanoreactor that integrates NIR-II type-I photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and gas therapy for enhanced tumor ablation.

Activation of ubiquitously expressed inositol trisphosphate receptors (IPRs) represents a compelling Ca overload strategy for cancer treatment, featuring intrinsic biosafety, a steep 15 000-fold Ca flux gradient, and pan-cancer applicability. However, it remains underexplored due to challenges in developing on-demand and sustainable activation modalities that ensure treatment reproducibility while preventing off-target toxicity. This study presents a novel snakeberry-like nanoreactor (APF@ZIF-67) with a porous photocatalytic core for HO generation via a direct one-step 2e oxygen reduction reaction and ZIF-67 protrusions for OH production.

Nanozyme technology offers promising avenues for the development of new antibacterial agents to combat antibiotic resistance. However, the antibacterial efficacy of nanozymes is constrained by their dependence on hydrogen peroxide (HO). In this study, a glucose-activatable nanoreactor (FCSGP NPs) with high antimicrobial efficiency and drug loading ability is designed to enhance the anti-infection effects in diabetic wound healing.

Prussian blue nanozymes (PBNZ) have emerged as promising biomedical agents due to their enzyme-mimetic activities, photothermal properties, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast capabilities. However, their practical utility is limited by aggregation tendencies arising from high surface energy. Here, we present a strategy employing spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPB) as nanoreactors to synthesize satellite-structured SPB@PBNPs with well-defined dimensions (15-19 nm) and low crystallinity.

Cuproptosis, a newly identified form of programmed cell death, has exhibited great potential in the treatment of breast cancer. However, excess glutathione and inadequate hydrogen peroxide (HO) and poor Fenton reaction efficiency in tumor cells limit cuproptosis-photo-chemodynamic therapy effect. Herein, we developed a HO self-supplying cascade catalytic self-assembled nanoreactors (PGIC NPs) based on chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel (PTX), natural enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx), metal copper ions (Cu) and photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) for cuproptosis-mediated chemo-photo-starvation-chemodynamic therapy.
