Synthesis of Closely‐Contacted Cu2O‐CoWO4 Nanosheet Composites for Cuproptosis Therapy to Tumors With Sonodynamic and Photothermal Assistance by Zhuoran Yang, Zhuo Li, Chunyu Yang, Li Meng, Wei Guo, Liqiang Jing

“…The efficient release of copper ions from CCW‐NH can be triggered by ultrasound irradiation, primarily due to the generation of superoxide radicals as the sonodynamic agents via the Z‐scheme charge transfer mechanism. When subjected to the combined effects of ultrasound and laser irradiation, the effective release of copper ions is increased by 1.7 times compared to the untreated group, significantly enhancing the efficiency of cuproptosis. …”
