ABSTRACT: Cancer has been regarded as one of the most intractable diseases worldwide and threatens human health and life. Photothermal/Photodynamic therapy (PTT and PDT) have emerged as reliable and effective strategies in cancer treatment with the superiorities of non-invasiveness, slight side effects, and high treatment efficiency. Herein, a nanocomposite (PBCN) was fabricated via electrostatic interaction between Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), and the resulting PBCN possessed good photothermal properties and excellent photodynamic effects with 808 nm irradiation. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent fluorescence imaging ability in cells, highlighting its potential as a powerful imaging agent in the biomedical field. Combination with a photothermal materia
