Antimonene quantum dots synthesized by a controllable liquid exfoliation method are reported by O. C. Farokhzad, J. Shi, H. Zhang et al. in their Communication on page 11896 ff., The particles showed a high photothermal conversion efficiency (45.5%), near‐infrared‐induced degradability, and biocompatibility, thus making them ideal photothermal agents. This study will open up exciting and novel research on antimonene for biomedical applications.
