A facile synthesis of strong near infrared fluorescent layered double hydroxide nanovehicles with an anticancer drug for tumor optical imaging and therapy

In this work, a new multifunctional nanovehicle for tumor optical imaging and therapy was developed using Y2O3:Er3+,Yb3+ nanoparticles as near infrared fluorescent nanophosphors, and MgAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets as anticancer drug nanovehicles. Monodispersed Y2O3:Er3+,Yb3+ nanophos...
