Bacterial infection greatly affects the rate of wound healing. Both photothermal and photodynamic antibacterial therapies activated by near-infrared (NIR) light with semiconductor nanomedicine are two effective approaches to address bacterial infections, but they cannot coexist synergistically to kill bacteria more efficiently because of the limitation of the band structure. Here, inspired by the natural core–shell structure and photosynthesis simultaneously, polypyrrole (PPy) is synthesized in the two-dimensional restricted area of the layered bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) nanosheets through the in situ ultrasonic recombination method. The atomic-level interface contact and bonding formed in the PPy-BiOCl intercalated nanosheets not only improve the light-to-heat conversion capabilities of PPy but also promote the transmission of PPy photogenerated charge carriers to the BiOCl semiconductor. The nanocomposites take advantage of the deeper tissue penetration under NIR light irradiation and exhibit excellent photothermal and photodynamic synergistic antibacterial activity. In addition, PPy-BiOCl intercalated nanosheets have good biocompatibility and accelerate wound healing through their antimicrobial activity and skin repair function. The space-confined synthesis of thin PPy nanosheets in layered structures offers an efficient NIR photoresponsive nanomedicine for the treatment of pathogen infection, with promising applications in infected wound healing.
