ABSTRACT
Fluorescence imaging is a vital way to delineate the tumor boundaries. Here, we achieve a NIR-II aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) with a fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of 12.6% in water through straightforward alkyl side chain modification. After loading of NIR-II AIEgen into polystyrene (PS) nanospheres, the thermal deactivation pathway is extremely limited, thereby concentrating absorption excitation on fluorescence emission. The fluorescence intensity is further enhanced by 5.4 times, the QY increases to 21.1%, and the NIR-II imaging signal is accordingly enhanced by 8.7 times, surpassing conventional DSPE-PEG carriers. The NIR-II@PS nanoprobe showcases superior resolution and tissue penetration depth compared to indocyanine green (ICG) and short-range near-infrared AIEgens. In vivo investigations underscore its tumor-to-normal tissue ratio (3.9) at 24 h post intravenous injection, enabling complete resection of ≤1 mm metastases under NIR-II bioimaging guidance. Additionally, the PS carrier-nanoparticles exhibit low toxicity in vivo, laying a promising foundation for the future design of medical nanomaterials.
