Gold Nanoparticles supported on MoS2 Nanoribbons matrix as a biocompatible and water dispersible platform for enhanced photothermal ablation of cancerous cells using harmless near infrared irradiation
arXiv:1412.4943
Abstract
With photothermal efficiency higher than traditionally used reduced graphene oxide, while simultaneously being water dispersible, we propose biocompatible Molybdenum Nanoribbons - gold Nanoparticles (MoS2 NR-Au NPs) system for synergistically enhanced photo-thermal ablation of cancerous cells (100% fatality) using NIR radiation (808nm), owing to commendable temperature rise above 70oC at a much faster rate.
