Transition metal dichalcogenide coated gold nanoshells for highly effective photothermal therapy
Literature Information
Saeed Bagheri, Mahdi Esmaeilzadeh
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) coated gold nanoshells (GNSs), in addition to having low cytotoxicity and a biocompatibility value greater than graphene, exhibit strong light absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region and high photothermal conversion efficiency. Using a quasi-static approach and bioheat equations, the optical and photothermal properties of GNSs coated with various TMDs are studied for treatment of skin cancer. Our findings show that the intensity of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peaks and their position in the extinction spectrum of nanoparticles (NPs) can be easily tuned within biological windows by varying the core radius, the gold shell thickness and the number of coating layers of the different TMDs. In order to engineer heat production at designated spatial locations of NPs, near electric field (NEF) enhancement is investigated. Moreover, the effect of laser intensity and the number of TMD layers on the temperature rise and the amount of thermal damage in skin tumor tissue and its surroundings are studied. Our results introduce GNSs with various TMD coatings as superlative nanoagents for photothermal therapy (PTT) applications.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
