Novel zinc(ii) phthalocyanine nanoparticles as a diagnosis–treatment nanoprobe for photoacoustic-imaging-guided synergistic photothermal/photodynamic-enhanced cancer therapy

In this work, novel zinc( ii ) phthalocyanine nanoparticles (ZnPcNPs) have been developed and verified to be a promising PTT/PDT agent with a high photoconversion efficiency of 30.01% under 660 nm NIR-I laser exposure.
