Abstract
PDT, and we briefly present the ongoing challenges and prospects of currently developed NIR-II photosensitizers for clinical practice in the near future. We believe that the above topics will inspire broad interest in researchers from interdisciplinary fields that include chemistry, materials science, pharmaceuticals, and clinical medicine, and provide insightful perspectives for exploiting new NIR-II photosensitizers for biomedical applications.
