Abstract
Nanobiotechnology influences many different areas, including the medical, food, energy, clothing, and cosmetics industries. Considering the wide usage of nanomaterials, it is necessary to investigate the toxicity potentials of specific nanosized molecules. Boron-containing nanoparticles (NPs) are attracting much interest from scientists due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, there is limited information concerning the toxicity of boron-containing NPs, including cobalt boride (Co2B) NPs. Therefore, in this study, Co2B NPs were characterized using X-ray crystallography (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. Then, we performed 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl) 2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and neutral red (NR) assays for assessing cell viability against Co2B NP exposure on cultured human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiC). In addition, whole-genome microarray analysis was carried out to reveal the global gene expression differentiation of HPAEpiC cells after Co2B NP application. The cell viability tests unveiled an IC50 value for Co2B NPs of 310.353 mg/L. The results of our microarray analysis displayed 719 gene expression differentiations (FC ≥ 2) among the analyzed 40,000 genes. The performed visualization and integrated discovery (DAVID) analysis revealed that there were interactions between various gene pathways and administration of the NPs. Based on gene ontology biological processes analysis, we found that the P53 signaling pathway, cell cycle, and cancer-affecting genes were mostly affected by the Co2B NPs. In conclusion, we suggested that Co2B NPs would be a safe and effective nanomolecule for industrial applications, particularly for medical purposes.

Abstract
Hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs) have been used as the template for seed-mediated growth of multibranched hollow gold nanostars (HNS). The HGNs were synthesized via anerobic reduction of cobalt chloride to cobalt nanoparticles and then formation of a gold shell via galvanic replacement followed by the oxidation of the cobalt core. We obtained control of the inner core size of the HGNs by increasing the size of the sacrificial cobalt core and by varying the ratio of B(OH)3/BH4 using boric acid rather than 48 h aged borohydride. We synthesized the HNS by reducing Au3+ ions in the presence of Ag+ ions using ascorbic acid, creating a spiky morphology that varied with the Au3+/Ag+ ratio. A broadly tunable localized surface plasmon resonance was achieved through control of both the inner core and the spike length. Amyloid beta (Aβ) was conjugated to the HNS by using a heterobifunctional PEG linker and identified by the vibrational modes associated with the conjugated ring phenylalanine side chain. A bicinchoninic acid assay was used to determine the concentration of Aβ conjugated to HNS as 20 nM, which is below the level of Aβ that negatively affects long-term potentiation. Both the core size and spike length were shown to affect the optical properties of the resulting nanostructures. This HGN templated method introduced a new parameter for enhancing the plasmonic properties of gold nanostars, namely, the addition of a hollow core. Hollow gold nanostars are highly desirable for a wide range of applications, including high sensitivity disease detection and monitoring.

Abstract
The localized surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanoparticles has attracted much attention owing to its unique characteristics, including the enhancement of signals in sensors and photothermal effects. In particular, hollow gold nanostructures are highly promising for practical applications, with significant advantages being found in their material properties and structures: 1) the interaction between the outer surface plasmon mode and inner cavity mode leads to a greater resonance, allowing it to absorb near-infrared light, which can readily penetrate tissue; 2) it has anti-corrosiveness and good biocompatibility, which makes it suitable for biomedical applications; 3) it shows a reduced net density and large surface area, allowing the possibility of nanocarriers for drug delivery. In this review, we present information on the classification, characteristics, and synthetic methods of hollow gold nanostructures; discuss the recent advances in hollow gold nanostructures in biomedical applications, including biosensing, bioimaging, photothermal therapy, and drug delivery; and report on the existing challenges and prospects for hollow gold nanostructures.

Abstract
We offer a detailed investigation of the photophysical properties of plasmonic solid and hollow gold nanospheres suspended in water by combining ultrafast transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. TA reveals that hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs) exhibit faster excited state relaxation and larger amplitude acoustic phonon modes than solid gold nanoparticles of the same outer diameter. MD simulation carried out on full scale nanoparticle-water models (over 10 million atoms) to simulate the temporal evolution (0-100 ps) of the thermally excited particles (1000 or 1250 K) provides atomic-scale resolution of the spatiotemporal temperature and pressure maps, as well as visualization of the lattice vibrational modes. For the 1000 K HGN, temperatures upward of 500 K in the vicinity of the shell surface were observed, along with pressures up to several hundred MPa in the inner cavity, revealing potential use as a photoinduced nanoreactor. Our approach of combining TA and MD provides a path to better understanding how thermal-structural properties (such as expansion and contraction) and thermal-optical properties (such as modulated dielectrics) manifest themselves as TA signatures. The detailed picture of heat transfer at interfaces should help guide nanoparticle design for a wide range of applications that rely on photothermal conversion, including photothermal coupling agents for nanoparticle-mediated photothermal therapy and photocatalysts for light-driven chemical reactions.

Abstract
Hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs) are core/shell structures with a dielectric material core, usually composed of solvent, and a gold metal shell. Such structures have two metal/dielectric interfaces to allow interaction between the gold metal with the interior and external dielectric environment. Upon illumination by light, HGNs exhibit unique surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties compared to solid gold nanoparticles. Their SPR absorption/scattering can be tuned by changing their diameter, shell thicknesses, and surface morphologies. In addition to the low toxicity, easy functionalization, resistance to photobleaching, and sensitivity to changes in surrounding medium of gold, the enhanced surface-to-volume ratio and tunable SPR of HGNs make them highly attractive for different applications in the fields of sensing, therapy, and theranostics. In this article, we review recent progress on the synthesis and structural control of HGNs and applications of their SPR properties in biomedical sensing and theranostics. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > Biosensing Diagnostic Tools > in vitro Nanoparticle-Based Sensing Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
The miniaturization of gold nanorods exhibits a bright prospect for intravital photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and the hollow structure possesses a better plasmonic property. Herein, miniature hollow gold nanorods (M-AuHNRs) (≈46 nm in length) possessing strong plasmonic absorbance in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window (1000-1350 nm) are developed, which are considered as the most suitable range for the intravital PAI. The as-prepared M-AuHNRs exhibit 3.5 times stronger photoacoustic signal intensity than the large hollow Au nanorods (≈105 nm in length) at 0.2 optical density under 1064 nm laser irradiation. The in vivo biodistribution measurement shows that the accumulation in tumor of miniature nanorods is twofold as high as that of the large counterpart. After modifying with a tumor-targeting molecule and fluorochrome, in living tumor-bearing mice, the M-AuHNRs group gives a high fluorescence intensity in tumors, which is 3.6-fold that of the large ones with the same functionalization. Moreover, in the intravital PAI of living tumor-bearing mice, the M-AuHNRs generate longer-lasting and stronger photoacoustic signal than the large counterpart in the NIR-II window. Overall, this study presents the fabrication of M-AuHNRs as a promising contrast agent for intravital PAI.

Abstract
Morphology of Ag nanocrystals (NCs) is essential to the NC application in catalysis, optics, and as antibacterial agents. Therefore, it is important to develop synthetic methods and understand the evaluation of NC morphology in different chemical environments. In this study, we report interesting findings of the morphological change of fivefold-twinned Ag-Au-Ag nanorods (NRs) under the effect of H2O2 both as an oxidant (etchant) and a reductant. At low H2O2 concentration, the reconstruction of Ag-Au-Ag NRs was dominated by the growth along the longitudinal direction of NRs. With the increase of H2O2 concentration, the reconstruction also occurs in the transverse direction, and a clear change in particle morphology was observed. We further systematically studied the mechanism of the reaction. The results showed that the transition of the morphology was a two-step process: (1) the etching of Ag on the seeds and (2) the reduction of Ag2O. In the second step, the reaction kinetics was highly affected by H2O2 concentration. At low H2O2 concentration, the growth mainly occurs along ⟨110⟩. However, at high H2O2 concentration, the reduction of Ag was not facet-selective. Using the developed method, we can prepare various bimetallic NCs (high aspect ratio NRs with abundant pinholes, nanoplates, and other NCs). The effect of the reconstruction process on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance of NCs was investigated.

Abstract
The irradiation of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with nanosecond laser pulses induces shape transformations yielding nanocrystals with an inner cavity. The concentration of the stabilizing surfactant, the use of moderate pulse fluences, and the size of the irradiated AuNPs determine the efficiency of the process and the nature of the void. Hollow nanocrystals are obtained when molecules from the surrounding medium (e.g., water and organic matter derived from the surfactant) are trapped during laser pulse irradiation. These experimental observations suggest the existence of a subtle balance between the heating and cooling processes experienced by the nanocrystals, which induce their expansion and subsequent recrystallization keeping exogenous matter inside. The described approach provides valuable insight into the mechanism of interaction of a pulsed nanosecond laser with AuNPs, along with interesting prospects for the development of hollow plasmonic nanoparticles with potential applications related to gas and liquid storage at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit great potential for biological applications due to their good biocompatibility and tunable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties. Currently, although tuning the aspect ratio of a solid structure or designing a hollow structure has been performed to regulate the LSPR properties of AuNPs, the method of preparing hollow anisotropic AuNPs has rarely been reported. In this study, we designed gold hollow nanorods (AuHNRs) with controllable aspect ratios by a Se-doping Te nanorod-templated method with the assistance of l-cysteine. UV-vis-NIR spectra showed that AuHNRs with an aspect ratio of about 3 could have a LSPR peak in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window, which is only half of the value required by traditional Au nanorods. Moreover, AuHNRs are nontoxic and capable of loading drugs. In vivo experiment revealed that AuHNRs can be used as contrast agents in multimodal imaging, including photothermal imaging, photoacoustic imaging, and computed tomography imaging, as well as in chemo-photothermal combined therapy of tumor in the NIR-II window. Because light in the NIR-II window has remarkable advantages over that in the first near-infrared (NIR-I) window in biomedical applications, AuHNRs can be used as promising NIR-II-window-responsive multifunctional nanoagents.
