As the least toxic heavy metal, monoelemental bismuth nanomaterials with several superiorities are the ideal theranostic agents. However, bismuth nanoparticles are easily oxidized by oxygen in air or media, limiting their clinical application. In contrast, the oxidization of Bi⁰ to Bi³⁺ can activate the chemodynamic therapy (CDT) by transferring endogenous H₂O₂ into •OH. Herein, a well-designed Bi-DMSNs@PCM nanosystem was prepared via in situ growth of Bi nanodots and a coating of phase-change material (PCM) on the surface of dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs). The coated PCM protects the Bi nanodots from oxidation by keeping them in the Bi⁰ state for more than 15 d. When irradiated using the near infrared-II (NIR-II) laser with a low power density (0.5 W/cm²), the heat generated from the Bi nanodots melts the PCM shell to trigger CDT through a Fenton-like reaction, accompanied by heat-induced photothermal therapy (PTT). Notably, the CDT can also compensate for the reduced PTT effect caused by the oxidation of Bi nanodots, and a satisfactory treatment effect is realized. Additionally, photoacoustic and computed tomography imaging properties were obtained. Our strategy transfers the detrimental self-oxidation of bismuth to a beneficial therapeutic mode, enhancing the potential of Bi for clinical use.
