Defect Engineering of Bi2S3‐x@PDA/CuS Z‐Scheme Heterojunction for Enhanced Sonodynamic and Chemodynamic Cancer Therapy
Researchers have engineered a sulfur‑vacancy‑rich Bi2S3‑x@PDA/CuS (BPC) nanocomposite that forms a Z‑scheme heterojunction and is further functionalized with hyaluronic acid (BPC@HA). The defect‑rich structure enhances charge separation, enabling efficient singlet‑oxygen generation under ultrasound and Fenton‑like hydroxyl‑radical production for chemodynamic therapy. Simultaneously, sono‑excited holes deplete tumor glutathione, amplifying oxidative stress. In mouse models, BPC@HA achieved pronounced tumor growth suppression while offering NIR‑II photoacoustic imaging capability.
