Highly efficient polyethylene glycol‐functionalised gold nanorods for photothermal ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Gold nanorods (GNRs) with exceptional photothermal properties have held promising potential for application in the biomedical field. In this study, the authors achieved photothermal ablation by polyethylene glycol (PEG)‐functionalised GNRs. Well‐dispersed and uniform GNRs were produced through a see...
