The presence of high content glutathione (GSH) provides an effective protective shield for tumor cells, which undoubtedly is a huge impediment to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based treatment. Fortunately, divalent copper (Cu2+) can not only consume GSH, destroying the protection mechanism of GSH, but also can be reduced to Cu+ with excellent Fenton-like reaction activity. Hence, capitalizing on the properties of liquid metals, we introduced Cu with three different valances via an in situ replacement reaction. A stable core-shell liquid-metal based Cu storage pool was obtained. It can effectively deplete GSH within the cells, and simultaneously produce ·OH through a Fenton-like reaction, further improving the effect of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Under microwave irradiation, it is also capable of producing a large amount of ROS to promote tumor treatment. In addition, the loading of ionic liquid endows LZC@IL nanoparticles with certain microwave heating performance, which is able to augment microwave thermal therapy (MWTT). With the combination of CDT, microwave dynamic therapy (MDT) and MWTT, LZC@IL has an excellent effect on tumor elimination. This work offers a new idea for the application of liquid metals and the combined treatment of tumors, which has potential application value.
