Biocompatible PLNP-GNR composite nanoplatforms for monitoring deep-tissue photothermal therapy process

Photothermal conversion performance and acid-induced aggregation of PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms

“…The calculated η value of PSS modified PLNP-Bi 2 S 3 composite nanoplatforms is found to be about 44%, which is significantly improved compared with PLNP-GNR composite nanoplatforms (37%) in our previous work. 10 To further demonstrate the photothermal advantage of PSS modified PLNP-Bi 2 S 3 composite nanoplatforms, the time dependent temperature variation curves and their fitting data of PSS modified PLNP-Bi 2 S 3 and PLNP-GNR composite nanoplatform aqueous dispersions in the case of reaching the same maximum temperature induced by 635 nm laser irradiation are shown in Fig. 6b.…”

“…Based on our previous study, it can be ascribed to the presence of the CTAB bilayer on the surfaces of ZGGO:Cr 3+ nanoparticles. 10 To understand the optical property of ZGGO:Cr 3+ @CTAB nanoparticles with x = 0.40 mmol, their excitation ( λ em = 697 nm) and emission ( λ ex = 600 nm) spectra are shown in Fig. 1c.…”

“…Based on the previous study, ZGGO:Cr 3+ @CTAB nanoparticles with the optimal CTAB micellar solution concentration ( x = 0.40 mmol) were prepared by a hydrothermal method in combination with a subsequent vacuum calcination process. 10 The detailed procedures can be described as follows. Firstly, raw materials involving Zn, Ga, Ge and Cr elements were weighed according to different molar ratios and they were dispersed into 15 mL of ultrapure water.…”

“…Additionally, in another study, by Meng et al, persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs)-conjugated GNRs have been used, forming a nanocomposite platform (PLNP-GNRs) which were encapsulated by biocompatible PW 12 molecules (phosphotungstate derivatives). The results revealed that GNRs can effectively act as a promising photothermal conversion agent, using single 635 nm wavelength, for targeted photothermal therapy of deep-tissue tumors, particularly in skin and breast cancer cases ( Figure 3 B) [ 158 ].…”
