Efficient Triplet–Triplet Annihilation-Based Upconversion for Nanoparticle Phototargeting
Abstract
High-efficiency upconverted light would be a desirable stimulus for triggered drug delivery. Here we present a general strategy to achieve photoreactions based on triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). We designed PLA-PEG micellar nanoparticles containing in their cores hydrophobic photosensitizer and annihilator molecules which, when stimulated with green light, would undergo TTA-UC. …
