A multifunctional platform with pH-responsive drug release and near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) was designed and prepared using the novel core–shell–shell structure. The multifunctional platform consists of an upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) emission core, a photosensitizer methylene blue (MB) embedded dense silica sandwich shell, and a polyethyleneimine conjugated folic acid (PEI–FA) gated mesoporous silica (MS) outmost shell with doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) loaded inside. The simulated drug release experiments revealed that DOX will release from the nanoparticles because of the distortion in the PEI–FA layer under acidic conditions. Moreover, under 980 nm NIR irradiation, a 660 nm red light emission was excited, activating MB to generate a singlet oxygen (1O2), which acts as the PDT drug. The multifunctional platform integrated pH-responsive drug release and UCNP-based PDT drug together show promising potential in nanomedicine for future chemotherapy and NIR-triggered PDT.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
