Abstract
A black phosphorus (BP)-nanosheet-based drug-delivery system containing a therapeutic drug (Fluoxetine, Flu) is synthesized. According to subsequent behavioral, biochemical, and electrophysiological analysis, BP-Flu, after irradiated with near-infrared light (808 nm), can significantly reduce the therapy time of depression. Meanwhile, the inherent biotoxicity of Flu is also alleviated.
