Schematic illustration of nanomaterial involved PTT, CDT, PDT. With NIR irradiation, PTT materials such as GO/rGO generate heat and cause cancer cell death. CDT material BSA-CuFeS2 and specific wavelength light irradiated PDT material CNTs generate ·OH, 1O2, O2 − · from O2, H2O2 in cells and cause cancer cell death. CDT, chemodynamic therapy; CNT: carbon nanotube; GO: graphene oxide; NIR: near-infrared; PDT: photodynamic therapy; PTT, photothermal therapy; rGO: reduced graphene oxide
