Photo‐Therapy Based on Defective Photocatalysts

In recent years, phototherapy based on defective photocatalysts has been widely used in the medical field. The introduction of defects in the structure of photocatalysts promotes the separation of charge carriers during the photocatalytic process, which enhances the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) for targeted local treatment of diseased tissues. Therefore, phototherapy based on defective photocatalysts is a novel approach for targeted and precise treatment of various medical conditions. In conclusion, this chapter introduces the synthesis strategy of defect-engineered photocatalytic materials used to improve the catalytic performance of photocatalysts and summarizes several phototherapy reactions in therapeutic processes, which can provide some reference value for researchers in the related field.
