Abstract

Hollow Bi2Se3 nanoparticles prepared by a cation exchange method are loaded with perfluorocarbon as an oxygen carrier. With those nanoparticles, a new concept is proposed by Z. Liu and co-workers on page 2716 to enhance radiotherapy by not only using their X-ray absorbing ability to locally concentrate radiation energy in the tumor, but also employing near-infrared light to trigger burst release of oxygen from the nanoparticles to overcome hypoxia-associated radio-resistance.
