Taking advantage of activatable and imaging-guided properties, stimuli-activated molecular photothermal agents (MPTAs) have drawn great attention in photothermal therapy (PTT) over the past decades. In this review, the recent progress in the study of stimuli-activated MPTAs is summarized from different stimuli, including pH, bioactive small molecules, and enzymes. The features and challenges of stimuli-activated MPTAs are also discussed. This review aims to motivate readers to design and synthesise more efficient MPTAs.
