Photothermal effects of gold nanorods in aqueous solution and gel media: Influence of particle size and excitation wavelength

Abstract Gold nanorods (GNRs) have emerged as the most efficient photothermal agent in cancer therapy and photocatalysis. Understanding the influence of the surrounding medium, particle size, and excitation wavelength is critical to optimising the photothermal conversion rate. Here, three pairs of l...
