Facile Interfacial Synthesis of Densely Spiky Gold Nano-Chestnuts With Full Spectral Absorption for Photothermal Therapy.

ABSTRACT: The gold nanostructure is regarded as the most promising photothermal agent due to its strong localized surface plasma resonance (LSPR) effect. In particular, the gold nanostructures with sharp spikes on the surface have higher optical signal enhancement, owing to the sharp tips drastically enhancing the intense nanoantenna effect. However, current approaches for the synthesis of spiky gold nanostructures are either costly, complicated, or uncontrollable. Herein, we report a novel strategy to synthesize gold nano-chestnuts (SGNCs) with sharp spikes as an excellent photothermal agent. The SGNCs were prepared by a facile one-pot interfacial synthetic method, and their controllable preparation mechanism was acquired. The SGNCs exhibited ideal full-spectrum absorption and showed excellent phot
