Fabrication of Holey AuAgPt Nanosheets by Surface Doping-Mediated Oxidative Carving for Tunable Near-Infrared Absorption and Their Applications in Photothermal Conversion

“…Among these demonstrations, the construction of noble metal nanoparticles with high structural anisotropy has attracted enormous research interest. , This is because the presence of several distinctive dimensions in one particle body can offer multiple oscillation paths of surface electrons and thus, the increase in the anisotropy of their structure can cause the generation of multiple resonance modes, which benefits the overall light harvesting efficiency . Moreover, the secondary or following absorption peaks are typically located at the near-infrared (NIR) region, which is of great importance for biorelated applications, as the biotransparent window (i.e., 750–900 nm) is right located in this region. , Meanwhile, the low energy of NIR light can ensure a better biosafety and a deeper penetration depth during laser irradiation. , …”
