The photothermal and photodynamic performances of structurally precise oil-soluble AgxAu25-x (x ≤ 13) nanoclusters were first explored and they were solubilized into new assemblies to form a versatile cancer theranostic platform with tri-targeting/in situ O2-generation/aggregation enhanced fluorescence imaging/photothermal-photodynamic therapy effects, which will provide an important reference for precision theranostics at the atomic level in future.
