Abstract
Abstract The harsh environment of diabetic wounds, including bacterial infection and wound hypoxia, is not conducive to wound healing. Herein, an enzyme‐like photocatalytic octahedral Rh/Ag 2 MoO 4 is developed to manage diabetic‐infected wounds. The introduction of Rh nanoparticles with catalase‐like catalytic activity can enhance the photothermal conversion and photocatalytic performance of Rh/Ag 2 MoO 4 by improving near‐infrared absorbance and promoting the separation of electron‐hole pairs, respectively. Rh/Ag 2 MoO 4 can effectively eliminate pathogens through a combination of photothermal and photocatalytic antibacterial therapy. After bacteria inactivation, Rh/Ag 2 MoO 4 can catalyze hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen to alleviate the hypoxic environment of diabetic wounds. The in vivo treatment effect demonstrated the excellent therapeutic performance of Rh/Ag 2 MoO 4 on diabetic infected wounds by removing infectious pathogens and relieving oxygen deficiency, confirming the potential application of Rh/Ag 2 MoO 4 in the treatment of diabetic infected wounds.
