Polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) are commonly used for photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer because of their good biocompatibility and photothermal conversion capability. However, it is difficult to achieve a good tumor inhibition effect with a single PTT of PDA. Therefore, in this work, we prep...
