Abstract

The regulation of electrostatic electric fields through electrical stimulation is an efficient method to increase the catalytic activity of nanozymes and improve the therapeutic effect of nanozyme catalytic therapy. Piezoelectric materials, which are capable of generating a built-in electric field under ultrasound (US), not only improve the activity of nanozymes but also enable piezoelectric sonodynamic therapy (SDT). In this study, a sonosensitizer based on a Hf-based metal–organic framework (UIO-66) and Au nanoparticles (NPs) was produced. Under US irradiation, UIO-66 can generate a built-in electric field inside the materials, which promotes electron–hole separation and produces reactive oxygen species…
