Diabetic foot (DF) is difficult to heal due to the formation of drug-resistant bacterial biofilms and dysregulation of the wound microenvironment. To solve this problem, multifunctional hydrogels were prepared by in situ or spraying with 3-aminophenylboronic acid modified oxidized chondroitin sulfate (APBA-g-OCS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and black phosphorus/bismuth oxide/ε-polylysine (BP/Bi 2 O 3 /ε-PL) as precursors for promoting infected diabetic wounds healing. The hydrogels display multiple stimulus responsiveness, strong adhesion and rapid self-healing ability owing to the dynamic borate ester bonds, hydrogen bonds and π-π conjugation cross-link points, remain synergistic chemo-photothermal antibacterial effect and anti-biofilm formation ability due to the doping of BP/ Bi 2 O 3 /ε-PL into the hydrogel by dynamic imine bonds crosslinking and possess anti-oxidation and inflammatory chemokine adsorption ability attributing to the presence of APBA-g-OCS. Most importantly, as a result of the above functions, the hydrogels can not only respond to the wound microenvironment to conduct combined PTT and chemotherapy for efficient anti-inflammation, but also improve the wound microenvironment by scavenging ROS and regulating the expression of cytokines, thus further accelerating collagen deposition, promoting granulation tissue formation and angiogenesis , finally promoting the healing of infected wounds in diabetic rats.
