Gold Nanoparticles supported on MoS2 Nanoribbons matrix as a biocompatible and water dispersible platform for enhanced photothermal ablation of cancerous cells using harmless near infrared irradiation
With photothermal efficiency higher than traditionally used reduced graphene oxide, while simultaneously being water dispersible, we propose biocompatible Molybdenum Nanoribbons - gold Nanoparticles (MoS2 NR-Au NPs) system for synergistically enhanced photo-thermal ablation of cancerous cells (100% fatality) using NIR radiation (808nm), owing to commendable temperature rise above 70oC at a much faster rate.
