Ultrasound‐Activated Fe‐Doped Hollow BaTiO <sub>3</sub> Nanoparticles for Targeted Venous Thrombolysis Via Piezo‐Amplified Fenton Catalysis

Current thrombolytic drug therapies are challenged by limited circulation time, off-target effects, and bleeding risks. In this study, multifunctional piezoelectric nanoplatforms are rationally designed for piezoelectric Fenton-assisted thrombolysis. Piezoelectric hollow barium titanate (hBT) nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized via template-assisted etching and Fe-doping, followed by fucoidan grafting to obtain hBT<sub>3Fe</sub>-Fu NPs. The hollow structure demonstrated a four-fold enhancement in piezoelectric response compared to that of solid NPs, and Fe-doping promoted the formation of oxygen vacancies, regulated the bandgap, and enhanced piezoelectric polarization. Moreover, ultrasound-triggered piezoelectrons accelerated Fe<sup>3+</sup>/Fe<sup>2+</sup> transformation, synergistically dissolving thrombi with 88.6% efficiency in vitro. In a venous thrombosis model, fucoidan-mediated active targeting achieved 2.4-fold greater NP accumulation at the thrombus site. Integrated piezoelectric-Fenton therapy resulted in complete thrombus dissolution and vessel recanalization while maintaining < 5% bleeding risk and negligible systemic toxicity. The engineered hBT<sub>3Fe</sub>-Fu nanoplatform represents a promising non-pharmacological strategy for safe and effective piezocatalytic thrombolytic therapy.

Abstract

Current thrombolytic drug therapies are challenged by limited circulation time, off-target effects, and bleeding risks. In this study, multifunctional piezoelectric nanoplatforms are rationally designed for piezoelectric Fenton-assisted thrombolysis. Piezoelectric hollow barium titanate (hBT) nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized via template-assisted etching and Fe-doping, followed by fucoidan grafting to obtain hBT<sub>3Fe</sub>-Fu NPs. The hollow structure demonstrated a four-fold enhancement in piezoelectric response compared to that of solid NPs, and Fe-doping promoted the formation of oxygen vacancies, regulated the bandgap, and enhanced piezoelectric polarization. Moreover, ultrasound-triggered piezoelectrons accelerated Fe<sup>3+</sup>/Fe<sup>2+</sup> transformation, synergistically dissolving thrombi with 88.6% efficiency in vitro. In a venous thrombosis model, fucoidan-mediated active targeting achieved 2.4-fold greater NP accumulation at the thrombus site. Integrated piezoelectric-Fenton therapy resulted in complete thrombus dissolution and vessel recanalization while maintaining < 5% bleeding risk and negligible systemic toxicity. The engineered hBT<sub>3Fe</sub>-Fu nanoplatform represents a promising non-pharmacological strategy for safe and effective piezocatalytic thrombolytic therapy.
