Developing one agent that has reasonable stability and ultrahigh photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE) for near-infrared (NIR) photothermal cancer treatment remains a great challenge, but is highly desirable. In this research, we developed a perylene diimide (PDI)-based oligomer (OPDI) through c...
