In this work, we report a successful synthesis of copper bismuth sulfide nanorods (NRs) with broad and strong photoabsorption ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, which can be used as a 1064 nm-laser-driven photothermal agent with the photothermal conversion efficiency of 40.7%, noticeably higher than most of the reported FIT agents working in NIR-II window. The as prepared PEGylated Cu3BiS3 NRs were used as photoacoustic imaging (PAD and CT imaging agents due to their strong NIR absorption and large X-ray attenuation coefficient of bismuth. We are the first to demonstrate that a small quantity of PEGylated Cu3BiS3 NRs in tumors can concentrate radiation energy and trigger mild PTT under NIR-II irradiation and thus, these particles could be used as a novel, synergistic thermoradiotheraputic agent that enhances the efficacy of radiotherapy.
