| Application |
- ·Electronics: Gold nanoparticles are used as conductors in everything from printing inks to electronic chips.
- ·Photodynamic therapy: Gold nanoparticles (including nanoshells and nanorods) in the near-infrared absorption band generate heat when excited by light at wavelengths of 700 to 800 nm. This feature enables the nanoparticles to destroy targeted tumors.
- ·Therapeutic agent delivery: Therapeutic agents can be coated on the surface of gold nanoparticles.
- ·Sensors: Gold nanoparticles are used in various sensors.
- ·Diagnosis: Detection of Biomarkers
- ·Probes, catalysis, fuel cells
