Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown great potential in infection treatment. However, the shallow depth of the short wavelength light and the low reactive oxygen species (ROS) production hinder its development. A strategy that can achieve a second near-infrared (NIR-II) light that is a long waveleng...
