Au-Nanomaterials as a Superior Choice for Near-Infrared Photothermal Therapy

Abstract: Photothermal therapy (PPT) is a platform to fight cancer by using multiplexed interactive plasmonic nanomaterials as probes in combination with the excellent therapeutic performance of near-infrared (NIR) light. With recent rapid developments in optics and nanotechnology, plasmonic materials have potential in cancer diagnosis and treatment, but there are some concerns regarding their clinical use. The primary concerns include the design of plasmonic nanomaterials which are taken up by the tissues, perform thei… Show more

“…In comparison, the localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) provide metal‐based particles with strong optoacoustic signal generation and photo‐stability, and thereby constitute the “gold standard” for OAI . Recently, gold nanoparticles have attracted significant research interest as nanosized contrast agents in OAI owing to their biocompatibility, unique optical absorption properties, and photothermal (PT) effects …”

“…26,27 It is known that such long rods are efficient light scatterers so there is a balancing act between the absorption and scattering pathways and the greatest potential may actually lie in using NIR absorbing rods for bio-imaging. Rods could be fabricated that absorb in the mid-infrared, allowing even lower temperature thermal imaging spectra to be obtained.…”

“…Since the first report of Au nanocages synthesized from Ag nanocubes, various hollow Au nanoshell structures have been prepared using Ag nanospheres [144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151][152][153][154][155], Ag nanorods [156][157][158][159], Ag nanowires [160], and even Ag islands on two-dimensional surfaces as templates [161].…”
