Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown a promising capability for cancer treatment with minimal side effects. Indocyanine green (ICG), the only clinically approved near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore, has been used as a photosensitizer for PDT in clinical application. However, the main obstacle of directly utilizing ICG in the clinic lies in its low singlet oxygen (<sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>) quantum yield (QY) and instability in aqueous solution. To improve the PDT efficacy of ICG, free ICG molecules ...[more]
