Abstract: The short lifetime of singlet oxygen reduces its accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum, which limits the output of photodynamic therapy. A nanodevice with functions of singlet oxygen production, storage and release can improve the lifetime of singlet oxygen for enhancing phototherapeutic efficacy.
