Photothermal agents with absorption in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biowindow have attracted increasing attention for photothermal therapy (PTT) on account of their deeper tissue penetration capacity. However, most of the current NIR-II photothermal agents exhibit low photothermal conversion ef...
