Abstract
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) hold considerable promise for their use in biomedical applications, notably in the context of photothermal therapy (PTT). Yet, their anisotropic nature presents a notable hurdle. Under laser irradiation, these structures are prone to deformation, leading to changes in their optical and photothermal properties over time. To overcome this challenge, an efficient strategy involving the use of calix[4]arene-tetradiazonium salts for stabilizing AuNRs has been implemented. These molecular platforms are capable of irreversible grafting onto surfaces through the reduction of their diazonium groups, thereby resulting in the formation of exceedingly robust organic monolayers. This innovative coating strategy not only ensures enduring stability but also facilitates conjugation of AuNRs. This study showcases the superiority of these fortified AuNRs over conventional counterparts, notably exhibiting exceptional resilience even under sustained laser exposure in the context of PTT. By bolstering the stability and reliability of AuNRs in PTT, our approach holds the potential to drive significant advancements in the field.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging (FLI)-guided phototheranostics using emission from the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window show significant potential for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Clinical imaging-used polymethine ionic indocyanine green (ICG) dye is widely adopted for NIR fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) research due to its exceptional photophysical properties. However, ICG has limitations such as poor photostability, low photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), short-wavelength emission peak, and liver-targeting issues, which restrict its wider use. In this study, two ionic ICG derivatives are transformed into neutral merocyanines (mCy) to achieve much-enhanced performance for NIR-II cancer phototheranostics. Initial designs of two ionic dyes show similar drawbacks as ICG in terms of poor photostability and low photothermal performance. One of the modified neutral molecules, mCy890, shows significantly improved stability, an emission peak over 1000 nm, and a high photothermal PCE of 51%, all considerably outperform ICG. In vivo studies demonstrate that nanoparticles of the mCy890 can effectively accumulate at the tumor sites for cancer photothermal therapy guided by NIR-II fluorescence imaging. This research provides valuable insights into the development of neutral merocyanines for enhanced cancer phototheranostics.

Abstract
The study encompasses an investigation of optical, photothermal and biocompatibility properties of a composite consisting of golden cores surrounded by superparamagnetic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. Accompanied with the experiment, the computational modeling reveals that each adjusted magnetic nanoparticle redshifts the plasmon resonance frequency in gold and nonlinearly increases the extinction cross-section at ~800 nm. The concentration dependent photothermal study demonstrates a temperature increase of 8.2 K and the photothermal conversion efficiency of 51% for the 100 μg/mL aqueous solution of the composite nanoparticles, when subjected to a laser power of 0.5 W at 815 nm. During an in vitro photothermal therapy, a portion of the composite nanoparticles, initially seeded at this concentration, remained associated with the cells after washing. These retained nanoparticles effectively heated the cell culture medium, resulting in a 22% reduction in cell viability after 15 min of the treatment. The composite features a potential in multimodal magneto-plasmonic therapies.

Abstract
Melanin, especially integumentary melanin, interacts in numerous ways with electromagnetic radiation, leading to a set of critical functions, including radiation protection, UV-protection, pigmentary and structural color productions, and thermoregulation. By harnessing these functions, melanin and melanin-like materials can be widely applied to diverse applications with extraordinary performance. Here we provide a unified overview of the melanin family (all melanin and melanin-like materials) and their interactions with the complete electromagnetic radiation spectrum (X-ray, Gamma-ray, UV, visible, near-infrared), which until now has been absent from the literature and is needed to establish a solid fundamental base to facilitate their future investigation and development. We begin by discussing the chemistries and morphologies of both natural and artificial melanin, then the fundamentals of melanin-radiation interactions, and finally the exciting new developments in high-performance melanin-based functional materials that exploit these interactions. This Review provides both a comprehensive overview and a discussion of future perspectives for each subfield of melanin that will help direct the future development of melanin from both fundamental and applied perspectives.

Abstract
RATIONALE To realize imaging-guided multi-modality cancer therapy with minimal side effects remains highly challenging. METHODS We devised a bioinspired hollow nitrogen-doped carbon sphere anchored with individually dispersed Mn atoms (Mn/N-HCN) via oxidation polymerization with triton micelle as a soft template, followed by carbonization and annealing. Enzyme kinetic analysis and optical properties were performed to evaluate the imaging-guided photothermally synergized nanocatalytic therapy. RESULTS Simultaneously mimicking several natural enzymes, namely peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), oxidase (OXD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), this nano-multizyme is able to produce highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (•OH) and singlet oxygen (1O2) without external energy input through parallel and series catalytic reactions and suppress the upregulated antioxidant (glutathione) in tumor. Furthermore, NIR-II absorbing Mn/N-HCN permits photothermal therapy (PTT), enhancement of CAT activity, and photoacoustic (PA) imaging to monitor the accumulation kinetics of the nanozyme and catalytic process in situ. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that near-infrared-II (NIR-II) PA-imaging guided, photothermally enhanced and synergized nanocatalytic therapy is efficient to induce apoptosis of cancerous cells and eradicate tumor tissue. CONCLUSIONS This study not only demonstrates a new method for effective cancer diagnosis and therapy but also provides new insights into designing multi-functional nanozymes.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the photothermal ability of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (nHAp) incorporated with silver and gold. It was studied by using a recently developed technique evaluating the photothermal conversion efficiency. The heating performance of aqueous dispersions was examined under 445 and 532 nm excitation. The largest increase in temperature was found for the 2% Ag-nHAp and reached above 2 °C per mg/mL of sample (445 nm) under 90 mW laser continuous irradiation and an external light-to-heat conversion efficiency of 0.11 L/g cm. The obtained results have shown a new functionality of nanosized apatites that has not been considered before. The studied materials have also been characterized by XRPD, TEM, BET, and UV-Vis techniques. Finally, in this work, a new idea for their application was proposed: photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Biomedical photothermal therapy with optical nanoparticles is based on the conversion of optical energy into heat through three steps: optical absorption, thermal conversion of the absorbed energy and heat transfer to the surrounding medium. The light-to-heat conversion efficiency (LHCE) has become one of the main metrics to quantitatively characterize the last two steps and evaluate the merit of nanoparticules for photothermal therapy. The estimation of the LHCE is mostly performed by monitoring the temperature evolution of a solution under laser irradiation. However, this estimation strongly depends on the experimental set-up and the heat balance model used. We demonstrate here, theoretically and experimentally, that the LHCE at multiple wavelengths can be efficiently and directly determined, without the use of models, by calibrated photoacoustic spectroscopy. The method was validated using already characterized colloidal suspensions of silver sulfide nanoparticles and maghemite nanoflowers and an uncertainty of 3 to 7% was estimated for the LHCE determination. Photoacoustic spectroscopy provides a new, precise and robust method of analysis of the photothermal capabilities of aqueous solutions of nanoagents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early detection and removal of bladder cancer in patients is crucial to prevent tumor recurrence and progression. Because current imaging techniques may fail to detect small lesions of in situ carcinomas, patients with bladder cancer often relapse after initial diagnosis, thereby requiring frequent follow-up and treatments. RESULTS In an attempt to obtain a sensitive and high-resolution imaging modality for bladder cancer, we have developed a photoacoustic imaging approach based on the use of PEGylated gold nanorods (GNRs) as a contrast agent, functionalized with the peptide cyclic [CphgisoDGRG] (Iso4), a selective ligand of α5β1 integrin expressed by bladder cancer cells. This product (called GNRs@PEG-Iso4) was produced by a simple two-step procedure based on GNRs activation with lipoic acid-polyethyleneglycol(PEG-5KDa)-maleimide and functionalization with peptide Iso4. Biochemical and biological studies showed that GNRs@PEG-Iso4 can efficiently recognize purified integrin α5β1 and α5β1-positive bladder cancer cells. GNRs@PEG-Iso4 was stable and did not aggregate in urine or in 5% sodium chloride, or after freeze/thaw cycles or prolonged exposure to 55 °C, and, even more importantly, do not settle after instillation into the bladder. Intravesical instillation of GNRs@PEG-Iso4 into mice bearing orthotopic MB49-Luc bladder tumors, followed by photoacoustic imaging, efficiently detected small cancer lesions. The binding to tumor lesions was competed by a neutralizing anti-α5β1 integrin antibody; furthermore, no binding was observed to healthy bladders (α5β1-negative), pointing to a specific targeting mechanism. CONCLUSION GNRs@PEG-Iso4 represents a simple and robust contrast agent for photoacoustic imaging and diagnosis of small bladder cancer lesions.

Gu K, Zhong H. A general methodology to measure the light-to-heat conversion efficiency of solid materials. LIGHT, SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS 2023; 12:120. [PMID: 37193685 DOI: 10.1038/s41377-023-01167-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
Light-to-heat conversion has been intensively investigated due to the potential applications including photothermal therapy and solar energy harvesting. As a fundamental property of materials, accurate measurement of light-to-heat conversion efficiency (LHCE) is of vital importance in developing advanced materials for photothermal applications. Herein, we report a photothermal and electrothermal equivalence (PEE) method to measure the LHCE of solid materials by simulating the laser heating process with electric heating process. The temperature evolution of samples during electric heating process was firstly measured, enabling us to derive the heat dissipation coefficient by performing a linear fitting at thermal equilibrium. The LHCE of samples can be calculated under laser heating with the consideration of heat dissipation coefficient. We further discussed the effectiveness of assumptions by combining the theoretical analysis and experimental measurements, supporting the obtained small error within 5% and excellent reproducibility. This method is versatile to measure the LHCE of inorganic nanocrystals, carbon-based materials and organic materials, indicating the applicability of a variety of materials.

Abstract
Owing to their superior optical and thermal properties over conventional fluids, nanofluids represent an innovative approach for use as working fluids in direct-absorption solar collectors for efficient solar-to-thermal energy conversion. The application of nanofluids in direct-absorption solar collectors demands high-performance solar thermal nanofluids that exhibit exceptional physical and chemical stability over long periods and under a variety of operating, fluid dynamics, and temperature conditions. In this review, we discuss recent developments in the field of nanofluids utilized in direct-absorption solar collectors in terms of their preparation techniques, optical behaviours, solar thermal energy conversion performance, as well as their physical and thermal stability, along with the experimental setups and calculation approaches used. We also highlight the challenges associated with the practical implementation of nanofluid-based direct-absorption solar collectors and offer suggestions and an outlook for the future.

Abstract
Over recent years, nano-engineered materials have become an important component of artificial extracellular matrices. On one hand, these materials enable static enhancement of the bulk properties of cell scaffolds, for instance, they can alter mechanical properties or electrical conductivity, in order to better mimic the in vivo cell environment. Yet, many nanomaterials also exhibit dynamic, remotely tunable optical, electrical, magnetic, or acoustic properties, and therefore, can be used to non-invasively deliver localized, dynamic stimuli to cells cultured in artificial ECMs in three dimensions. Vice versa, the same, functional nanomaterials, can also report changing environmental conditions-whether or not, as a result of a dynamically applied stimulus-and as such provide means for wireless, long-term monitoring of the cell status inside the culture. In this review article, we present an overview of the technological advances regarding the incorporation of functional nanomaterials in artificial extracellular matrices, highlighting both passive and dynamically tunable nano-engineered components.

Abstract
Photothermoelectric (PTE) materials are promising candidates for solar energy harvesting and photodetection applications, especially for near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Although the processability and tunability of organic materials are highly advantageous, examples of organic PTE materials are comparatively rare and their PTE performance is typically limited by poor photothermal (PT) conversion. Here, we report the use of redox-active Sn complexes of tetrathiafulvalene-tetrathiolate (TTFtt) as transmetalating agents for the synthesis of presynthetically redox tuned NiTTFtt materials. Unlike the neutral material NiTTFtt, which exhibits n-type glassy-metallic conductivity, the reduced materials Li1.2Ni0.4[NiTTFtt] and [Li(THF)1.5]1.2Ni0.4[NiTTFtt] (THF = tetrahydrofuran) display physical characteristics more consistent with p-type semiconductors. The broad spectral absorption and electrically conducting nature of these TTFtt-based materials enable highly efficient NIR-thermal conversion and good PTE performance. Furthermore, in contrast to conventional PTE composites, these NiTTFtt coordination polymers are notable as single-component PTE materials. The presynthetically tuned metal-to-insulator transition in these NiTTFtt systems directly modulates their PT and PTE properties.

Abstract
Multicompartment nanoparticles have raised great interest for different biomedical applications, thanks to the combined properties of different materials within a single entity. These hybrid systems have opened new avenues toward diagnosis and combination therapies, thus becoming preferred theranostic agents. When hybrid nanoparticles comprise magnetic and plasmonic components, both magnetic and optical properties can be achieved, which are potentially useful for multimodal bioimaging, hyperthermal therapies and magnetically driven selective delivery. Nanostructures comprising iron oxide and gold are usually selected for biomedical applications, as they display size-dependent properties, biocompatibility, and unique physical and chemical characteristics that can be tuned through highly precise synthetic protocols. We provide herein an overview of the most recent synthetic protocols to prepare magnetic-plasmonic nanostructures made of iron oxide and gold, to then highlight the progress made on multifunctional magnetic-plasmonic bioimaging and heating-based therapies. We discuss the advantages and limitations of the various systems in these directions.

Abstract
The possibility of optical heating with simultaneous control of the generated light within a single phosphor is particularly attractive from the perspective of multiple applications. This motivates the search for new solutions to enable efficient optical heating. In response to these requirements, based on the high absorption cross-section of Cr3+ ions, the optical heater based on YAl3(BO3)4:Cr3+ exhibiting highly efficient heating is developed. At the same time, the emission intensity ratio of 2E(g) → 4A2(g) and 4T2(g) → 4A2(g) of Cr3+ bands, thanks to the monotonic temperature dependence, enables remote temperature readout of the phosphor using luminescence thermometry technique. The combination of these two functionalities within a single phosphor makes YAl3(BO3)4:Cr3+ a promising, self thermally controlled photothermal agent.

Abstract
Functional colloidal nanoparticles capable of converting between various energy types are finding an increasing number of applications. One of the relevant examples concerns light-to-heat-converting colloidal nanoparticles that may be useful for localized photothermal therapy of cancers. Unfortunately, quantitative comparison and ranking of nanoheaters are not straightforward as materials of different compositions and structures have different photophysical and chemical properties and may interact differently with the biological environment. In terms of photophysical properties, the most relevant information to rank these nanoheaters is the light-to-heat conversion efficiency, which, along with information on the absorption capacity of the material, can be used to directly compare materials. In this work, we evaluate the light-to-heat conversion properties of 17 different nanoheaters belonging to different groups (plasmonic, semiconductor, lanthanide-doped nanocrystals, carbon nanocrystals, and metal oxides). We conclude that the light-to-heat conversion efficiency alone is not meaningful enough as many materials have similar conversion efficiencies─in the range of 80-99%─while they significantly differ in their extinction coefficient. We therefore constructed their qualitative ranking based on the external conversion efficiency, which takes into account the conventionally defined light-to-heat conversion efficiency and its absorption capacity. This ranking demonstrated the differences between the samples more meaningfully. Among the studied systems, the top-ranking materials were black porous silicon and CuS nanocrystals. These results allow us to select the most favorable materials for photo-based theranostics and set a new standard in the characterization of nanoheaters.

Abstract
Upconverting particles like Yb and Er-doped NaYF4 are known to heat up after illumination with light at pump wavelength due to inefficient upconversion processes. Here we show that NaYF4 particles which have been co-doped not only with Yb and Er but also Fe improves the photothermal conversion efficiency. In addition, we show for the first time that alternating magnetic fields also heat up the ferromagnetic particles. Thereafter we show that a combination of optical and magnetic stimuli significantly increases the heat generated by the particles.

Abstract
We describe photo-thermo-mechanical actuation and its dynamics in thin films of a liquid crystal networks (LCN) under near infrared (NIR) illumination through experiments and simulations. Splay aligned films of different thicknesses (25 μm to 100 μm) were obtained by crosslinking a mixture of mono-functional and bi-functional liquid crystal monomers. The NIR-driven thermo-mechanical actuation was achieved by adding an NIR dye to the monomer mixture. The absorption of incoming radiation by the dye molecules raises the local temperature of the film causing an order-disorder (nematic-isotropic) transition, thereby resulting in a macroscopic shape change. We have investigated the effect of film thickness, NIR laser power and dye concentration on the tip displacement of the films in a cantilever configuration. The experimental findings and finite element simulation results are in reasonably good quantitative agreement. Despite using lower NIR powers than typically employed, the films show high actuation and large displacements. After achieving saturation in actuation, the films exhibit a flutter behavior which is discussed in light of the observed overshoot in the tip displacement for certain intensities and thicknesses. Finally, using a solar simulator, we also show the visible light response of the film.

Abstract
Delayed diagnosis of cancer using conventional diagnostic modalities needs to be addressed to reduce the mortality rate of cancer. Recently, 2D nanomaterial-enabled advanced biosensors have shown potential towards the early diagnosis of cancer. The high surface area, surface functional groups availability, and excellent electrical conductivity of MXene make it the 2D material of choice for the fabrication of advanced electrochemical biosensors for disease diagnostics. MXene-enabled electrochemical aptasensors have shown great promise for the detection of cancer biomarkers with a femtomolar limit of detection. Additionally, the stability, ease of synthesis, good reproducibility, and high specificity offered by MXene-enabled aptasensors hold promise to be the mainstream diagnostic approach. In this review, the design and fabrication of MXene-based electrochemical aptasensors for the detection of cancer biomarkers have been discussed. Besides, various synthetic processes and useful properties of MXenes which can be tuned and optimized easily and efficiently to fabricate sensitive biosensors have been elucidated. Further, futuristic sensing applications along with challenges will be deliberated herein.

Bismuth Selenide Nanostructured Clusters as Optical Coherence Tomography Contrast Agents: Beyond Gold-Based Particles. ACS PHOTONICS 2022; 9:559-566. [PMID: 35224134 PMCID: PMC8862561 DOI: 10.1021/acsphotonics.1c01504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique currently used in clinical practice to obtain optical biopsies of different biological tissues in a minimally invasive way. Among the contrast agents proposed to increase the efficacy of this imaging method, gold nanoshells (GNSs) are the best performing ones. However, their preparation is generally time-consuming, and they are intrinsically costly to produce. Herein, we propose a more affordable alternative to these contrast agents: Bi2Se3 nanostructured clusters with a desert rose-like morphology prepared via a microwave-assisted method. The structures are prepared in a matter of minutes, feature strong near-infrared extinction properties, and are biocompatible. They also boast a photon-to-heat conversion efficiency of close to 50%, making them good candidates as photothermal therapy agents. In vitro studies evidence the prowess of Bi2Se3 clusters as OCT contrast agents and prove that their performance is comparable to that of GNSs.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma (MM), especially when diagnosed at an advanced stage, still represents a challenge for physicians. In recent years, immune check point inhibitors (ICI) have thoroughly changed MM landscape, although only 20-40% of MM patients respond to ICI. In MM progressing after ICI, treatment options, especially in case of MM not bearing V600 mutation, are limited. In this scenario, radionuclide theranostics, based on the sequential administration of a radiopharmaceuticals' pair, the first labeled with a radionuclide emitting energy suitable for imaging (i.e. positrons or gamma-rays), the second bound to another nuclide emitting particles for therapy, is particularly welcome. Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R), strongly overexpressed by MM cells, has recently emerged as an interesting target for radionuclide theranostics. In the following, we briefly cover some emerging applications of MC1R-targeted radionuclide theranostics, also with reference to the potential of implementing some innovative nanotechnologies, such as gold nanoparticles, to move the field forward.
