Abstract: Noble metal and high Z number nanomaterials are[JP+1]both popular stuff in the bioinorganic materials field, while the biomedical application of ternary sulfides AgBiS2 nanomaterial containing the two nanomaterials is reported for the first time. We synthesized a water-soluble AgBiS2 nanoparticle with PEG modification, and carried out a set of in vitro, intracellular, and mice imaging experiments that revealed its low cytotoxicity, photothermal lethality toward cancer cells, ability to cause DNA lesions by generating ROS under X-ray radiation which suppresses the reproduction of cancer cells, and good performance as photoacoustic and CT contrast agent.

Key words: AgBiS2 nanoparticle, photothermal therapy, radiotherapy, in vivo imaging
