Engineering of new graphene-based materials as potential materials to assist near-infrared photothermal therapy cancer treatment

Photothermal therapy is an emerging method of cancer treatment in which tumors are ablated by heating agents using near-infrared light (700–1000 nm). A semiconductor with a band gap between 0.3–0.7 eV would therefore efficiently emit near-infrared light. The new “magic” material graphene has a band...
