Facile Synthesis of Ligand-Free Iridium Nanoparticles and Their In Vitro Biocompatibility

Abstract High-density inorganic nanoparticles have shown promise in medical applications that utilize radiation including X-ray imaging and as radiation dose enhancers for radiotherapy. We have developed an aqueous synthetic method to produce small (~ 2 nm) iridium nanoparticles (IrNPs) by reduction...
