NIR-II photozymes with stoichiometric chemistry-regulated enzyocatalytic activities for multi-modal nanocatalytic therapy
Nanocatalytic therapy faces limitations from low ROS efficiency and high intracellular GSH. We develop trigonal PtTe<sub>2</sub> photozymes (t-PtTe<sub>2</sub>) with stoichiometry-regulated multi-enzymatic (POD-, CAT-, OXD-like) and NIR-II responses. In acidic tumors, t-PtTe<sub>2</sub> generates ˙OH (POD-like), produces O<sub>2</sub> (CAT-like), and depletes GSH to amplify ROS. Under NIR-II, it enhances efficacy <i>via</i> photothermal effect and <sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub> photodynamic generation, synergizing with enzyme-catalyzed ROS to induce robust tumor apoptosis with minimal systemic toxicity.
