The synthesis of photothermal carbon/hydroxyapatite composites poses challenges due to the binding modes and relatively low photothermal conversion efficiency. To address these challenges, the calcium ions chelated by photothermal carbon dots (PTC-CDs) served as the calcium source for the synthesis of photothermal carbon dots chelated hydroxyapatite (PTC-HA) filler via the coprecipitation method. The coordination constant and chelation sites of PTC-HA were 7.20 × 10 and 1.61, respectively. Compared to PTC-CDs, the coordination constant and chelation sites of PTC-HA decreased by 88 and 35% due to chelating to hydroxyapatite, respectively. PTC-HA possesses fluorescence and photothermal performance with a 62.4% photothermal conversion efficiency. The incorporation of PTC-HA filler significantly enhances as high as 76% the adhesion performance of the adhesive hydrogel. PTC-HA with high photothermal conversion efficiency and enhancing adhesion performance holds promise for applications in high photothermal conversion efficiency, offering tissue adhesive properties and fluorescence capabilities to the hydrogel.
