A nano-immunomodulator (R-NPT NP) comprising a tumor microenvironment (TME) activable resiquimod (R848) and a π-extended NIR-absorbing naphthophenanthrolinetetraone (NPT) has been engineered for spatiotemporal controlled photothermal immunotherapy. R-NPT NP demonstrated excellent photostability, whi...
