Persistent luminous nanoparticles (PLNPs) have been capturing increasing attention in biomedical imaging because of their long-life emission and concomitant benefits (e.g., zero-autofluorescence background, high signal-to-noise ratio). Although there are quite some synthetic methodologies to synthesize PLNPs, those for constructing functional structured PLNPs remain largely unexplored. Herein we report the design principle, synthesis route, and proof-of-concept applications of hollow structured PLNPs with near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence, namely afterglow, and tunable sizes for tumor afterglow imaging and chemical/photodynamic therapies. The design principle leverages on the crystallization of the immobilized parent ions on the purgeable carbon spheres. This strategy provides large and size tunable hollow cavities to PLNPs after calcination. Building on the hollow cavity of PLNPs, high chemical drug (DOX) or photosensitizer (Si-Pc) loading can be achieved. The DOX/Si-Pc-loaded hollow PLNPs exhibit efficient tumor suppression based on the features of large cavity and afterglow of PLNPs. These hollow structured PLNPs, like traditional solid PLNPs, are quite stable and can be repeatedly activated, and particularly can selectively target tumor lesion, permitting rechargeable afterglow imaging in living mice. Our research supplies a strategy to synthesize hollow structured PLNPs, and hopefully it could inspire other innovative structures for cancer theranostics.
