Schematic illustration of persistent luminescent nanocrystal-incorporated MSNs for afterglow luminescence imaging and photodynamic therapy in vivo. The as-synthesised nanoparticles are composed of the mesoporous silica-templated zinc gallogermanate (mZGGOs) nanocomposite core, an outer PEGylated coating and the loading of silicon phthalocyanine photosensitiser (Si-Pc). This design exhibited rechargeable X-ray-excited persistent luminescence (XEPL) properties for bioimaging and the ability of tumour suppression. Reprinted with permission from reference [139].
