Abstract

Advance of nanomaterials and nanotechnology has offered new possibilities for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Large amount of different kinds of sensitizers and targeting moieties can now be loaded in nanometer’s volume, which not only results in the improvement of the efficacy of PDT, but also enables the control of image-guided PDT with unprecedented precision and variation. This chapter shall overview the recently most studied inorganic nanomaterials for PDT.
