Silver Sulfide Nanoparticles as Photothermal Transducing Agents for Cancer Treatment

Silver sulfide (Ag2S) nanoparticles have been recently revealed as attractive nanoagents with near-infrared fluorescence for biological imaging. However, there have been no investigations about their photothermal effect, which can be used to convert nearinfrared light energy to heat for cancer treatment. In this work, the Ag2S nanoparticles are investigated, for the first time, as energy... view more»
