Starch Capped CuS Nanocrystals
In article number 2103461, Christian Engelbrekt, Lixin Ma, and co‐workers report a one‐pot synthesis of starch‐capped ultrathin CuS nanocrystals with efficient cancer photothermal therapy capacity. The starch layer endows CuS nanocrystals with enhanced photothermal efficacy by increasing the free carrier density and effectively assigning the localized surface plasmon...
Photothermal therapy requires efficient plasmonic nanomaterials with small size, good water dispersibility, and biocompatibility. This work reports a one‐pot, 2‐min synthesis strategy for ultrathin CuS nanocrystals (NCs) with precisely tunable size and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), where a single‐starch‐layer coating leads to a high LSPR absorption at the near‐IR wavelength 980 nm. The...
