Abstract
- Abstract The generally undesirable bandgap and electron–hole complexation of inorganic sonosensitizers limit the efficiency of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, affecting the effectiveness of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Comparatively, the novel polyvinylpyrrolidone‐modified copper bismuthate (PCBO) sonosensitizers are manufactured for a “three‐step” SDT promotion. In brief, first, the strong hybridization between Bi 6s and O 2p orbitals in PCBO narrows the bandgap (1.83 eV), facilitating the rapid transfer of charge carriers. Additionally, nonequivalent [CuO4]6− layers reduce crystal symmetry, confer PCBO unique piezoelectricity, and improve electron–hole separation under ultrasonic (US) excitation. This allows PCBO to convert US energy into chemical energy to produce ROS, achieving the accumulation of abundant ROS, resulting in apoptosis and tumor suppression. Concurrently, PCBO also acts as a glutathione scavenger to reduce tumor antioxidant capacity and improve efficacy. To the best of authors understanding, this study reveals PCBO as an innovative piezoelectric sonosensitizer and provides a meaningful paradigm for designing energy conversion strategies for tumor suppression.
