摘要

Photoacoustic imaging(PAI)is a new non-invasive and non-ionizing biomedical imaging method developed in recent years.PAI exhibits the high resolution of optical imaging and the deep tissue penetration of acoustic imaging,breaking through the soft limit of traditional biomedical imaging.However,most early tumors exhibit non-obvious photoacoustic imaging,so it is important to develop effective extrinsic photoacoustic imaging agents.On this basis,antimonene nanosheets(AMNSs)was designed.As a new two-dimensional(2D)material,AMNSs has good light absorption,excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and photoacoustic performance in the band range of 300-900 nm.So,the AMNSs are expected to be used as a contrast agent to achieve high quality photoacoustic imaging of ultra-small tumors in vivo.
