Ruthenium-Anchored Ag2Se Quantum Dots for Enhanced Near-Infrared Antibacterial Nanotherapeutics.
Light-activated nanotherapeutics that generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) offer a resistance-independent antibacterial strategy. However, integrating transition metals with inorganic quantum dots (QDs) to modulate light-matter interactions and extend photoactivity into the near-infrared (NIR) windows remains largely...
