Abstract
The intracellular clustering of anisotropic nanoparticles is crucial to the improvement of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) for phototherapy applications. Herein, we programmed the intracellular clustering process of spiky nanoparticles (SNPs) by encapsulating them into an anionic liposome via a frame-guided self-assembly approach. The liposome-encapsulated SNPs (lipo-SNPs) exhibited distinct and enhanced lysosome-triggered aggregation behavior while maintaining excellent monodispersity, even in acidic or protein-rich environments. We explored the enhancement of the photothermal therapy performance for SNPs as a proof of concept. The photothermal conversion efficiency of lipo-SNPs clusters significantly increased 15 times compared to that of single lipo-SNPs. Upon accumulation in lysosomes with a 2.4-fold increase in clustering, lipo-SNPs resulted in an increase in cell-killing efficiency to 45% from 12% at 24 μg/mL. These findings indicated that liposome encapsulation provides a promising approach to programing nanoparticle clustering at the target site, which facilitates advances in the development of smart nanomedicine with programmable enhancement in LSPR.

Abstract
Localized surface plasmons are lossy and generate heat. However, accurate measurement of the temperature of metallic nanoparticles under illumination remains an open challenge, creating difficulties in the interpretation of results across plasmonic applications. Particularly, there is a quest for understanding the role of temperature in plasmon-assisted catalysis. Bimetallic nanoparticles combining plasmonic with catalytic metals are raising increasing interest in artificial photosynthesis and the production of solar fuels. Here, we perform single-particle thermometry measurements to investigate the link between morphology and light-to-heat conversion of colloidal Au/Pd nanoparticles with two different configurations: core-shell and core-satellite. It is observed that the inclusion of Pd as a shell strongly reduces the photothermal response in comparison to the bare cores, while the inclusion of Pd as satellites keeps photothermal properties almost unaffected. These results contribute to a better understanding of energy conversion processes in plasmon-assisted catalysis.

Abstract
All forms of energy follow the law of conservation of energy, by which they can be neither created nor destroyed. Light-to-heat conversion as a traditional yet constantly evolving means of converting light into thermal energy has been of enduring appeal to researchers and the public. With the continuous development of advanced nanotechnologies, a variety of photothermal nanomaterials have been endowed with excellent light harvesting and photothermal conversion capabilities for exploring fascinating and prospective applications. Herein we review the latest progresses on photothermal nanomaterials, with a focus on their underlying mechanisms as powerful light-to-heat converters. We present an extensive catalogue of nanostructured photothermal materials, including metallic/semiconductor structures, carbon materials, organic polymers, and two-dimensional materials. The proper material selection and rational structural design for improving the photothermal performance are then discussed. We also provide a representative overview of the latest techniques for probing photothermally generated heat at the nanoscale. We finally review the recent significant developments of photothermal applications and give a brief outlook on the current challenges and future directions of photothermal nanomaterials.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) have garnered excitement over the past several decades stemming from their unique optoelectronic properties, leading to their use in various sensing applications and theranostics. Symmetry dictates the properties of many nanomaterials, and nanostructures with low, but still defined symmetries, often display markedly different properties compared to their higher symmetry counterparts. While numerous methods are available to manipulate symmetry, surface protecting groups such as polymers are finding use due to their ability to achieve regioselective modification of NP seeds, which can be removed after overgrowth as shown here. Specifically, poly(styrene-b-polyacrylic acid) (PSPAA) is used to asymmetrically passivate cubic Au seeds through competition with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) ligands. The asymmetric passivation via collapsed PSPAA causes only select vertices and faces of the Au cubes to be available for deposition of new material (i.e., Au, Au-Ag alloy, and Au-Pd alloy) during seeded overgrowth. At low metal precursor concentrations, deposition follows observations from unpassivated seeds but with new material growing from only the exposed seed portions. At high metal precursor concentrations, nanobowl-like structures form from interaction between the depositing phase and the passivating PSPAA. Through experiment and simulation, the optoelectronic properties of these nanobowls were probed, finding that the interiors and exteriors of the nanobowls can be functionalized selectively as revealed by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).

Abstract
Surface patterning of inorganic nanoparticles through site-selective functionalization with mixed-ligand shells or additional inorganic material is an intriguing approach to developing tailored nanomaterials with potentially novel and/or multifunctional properties. The unique physicochemical properties of such nanoparticles are likely to impact their behavior and functionality in biological environments, catalytic systems, and electronics applications, making it vital to understand how we can achieve and characterize such regioselective surface functionalization. This Feature Article will review methods by which chemists have selectively modified the surface of colloidal nanoparticles to obtain both two-sided Janus particles and nanoparticles with patchy or stripey mixed-ligand shells, as well as to achieve directed growth of mesoporous oxide materials and metals onto existing nanoparticle templates in a spatially and compositionally controlled manner. The advantages and drawbacks of various techniques used to characterize the regiospecificity of anisotropic surface coatings are discussed, as well as areas for improvement, and future directions for this field.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a widespread and lethal disease. Relapses of the disease and metastasis are very common in instances of CRC, so adjuvant therapies have a crucial role in its treatment. Systemic toxic effects and the development of resistance during therapy limit the long-term efficacy of existing adjuvant therapeutic approaches. Consequently, the search for alternative strategies is necessary. Photothermal therapy (PTT) represents an innovative treatment for cancer with great potential. Here, we synthesize branched gold nanoparticles (BGNPs) as attractive agents for the photothermal eradication of colon cancer cells. By controlling the NP growth process, large absorption in the first NIR biological window was obtained. The FBS dispersed BGNPs are stable in physiological-like environments and show an extremely efficient light-to-heat conversion capability when irradiated with an 808-nm laser. Sequential cycles of heating and cooling do not affect the BGNP stability. The uptake of BGNPs in colon cancer cells was confirmed using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, exploiting their intrinsic optical properties. In dark conditions, BGNPs are fully biocompatible and do not compromise cell viability, while an almost complete eradication of colon cancer cells was observed upon incubation with BGNPs and irradiation with an 808-nm laser source. The PTT treatment is characterized by an extremely rapid onset of action that leads to cell membrane rupture by induced hyperthermia, which is the trigger that promotes cancer cell death.

Abstract
The development of continuous monitoring systems requires in situ sensors that are capable of screening multiple chemical species and providing real-time information. Such in situ measurements, in which the sample is analyzed at the point of interest, are hindered by underlying problems derived from the recording of successive measurements within complex environments. In this context, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy appears as a noninvasive technology with the ability of identifying low concentrations of chemical species as well as resolving dynamic processes under different conditions. To this aim, the technique requires the use of a plasmonic substrate, typically made of nanostructured metals such as gold or silver, to enhance the Raman signal of adsorbed molecules (the analyte). However, a common source of uncertainty in real-time SERS measurements originates from the irreversible adsorption of (analyte) molecules onto the plasmonic substrate, which may interfere in subsequent measurements. This so-called "SERS memory effect" leads to measurements that do not accurately reflect varying conditions of the sample over time. We introduce herein the design of plasmonic substrates involving a nonpermeable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) thin layer on top of the plasmonic nanostructure, toward controlling the adsorption of molecules at different times. The polymeric layer can be locally degraded by irradiation with the same laser used for SERS measurements (albeit at a higher fluence), thereby creating a micrometer-sized window on the plasmonic substrate available to molecules present in solution at a selected measurement time. Using SERS substrates coated with such thermolabile polymer layers, we demonstrate the possibility of performing over 10,000 consecutive measurements per substrate as well as accurate continuous monitoring of analytes in microfluidic channels and biological systems.

Abstract
Strategies to increase the proportion of neural stem cells that differentiate into neurons are vital for therapy of neurodegenerative disorders. In vitro, the extracellular matrix composition and topography have been found to be important factors in stem cell differentiation. We have developed a novel artificial extracellular matrix (aECM) formed by attaching gold nanocages (AuNCs) to glass coverslips. After culturing rat neural stem cells (rNSCs) on these gold nanocage-coated surfaces (AuNC-aECMs), we observed that 44.6% of rNSCs differentiated into neurons compared to only 27.9% for cells grown on laminin-coated glass coverslips. We applied laser irradiation to the AuNC-aECMs to introduce precise amounts of photothermally induced heat shock in cells. Our results showed that laser-induced thermal stimulation of AuNC-aECMs further enhanced neuronal differentiation (56%) depending on the laser intensity used. Response to these photothermal effects increased the expression of heat shock protein 27, 70, and 90α in rNSCs. Analysis of dendritic complexity showed that this thermal stimulation promoted neuronal maturation by increasing dendrite length as thermal dose was increased. In addition, we found that cells growing on AuNC-aECMs post laser irradiation exhibited action potentials and increased the expression of voltage-gated Na+ channels compared to laminin-coated glass coverslips. These results indicate that the photothermal response induced in cells growing on AuNC-aECMs can be used to produce large quantities of functional neurons, with improved electrochemical properties, that can potentially be transplanted into a damaged central nervous system to provide replacement neurons and restore lost function.

Abstract
Heterogeneous Ag/Au nanoparticles combined with Pd ions were generated by irradiating Ag/Au metal targets in a Pd solution with nanosecond and femtosecond lasers. AgPd and AuPd nanoparticles were generated by laser fragmentation and bonded. We numerically analyzed the hot spots with electromagnetic field enhancement of nanoparticles of different sizes separated by various distances. AgPd and AuPd nanoparticles differing in diameter were generated and showed different characteristics compared to typical core-shell heterogeneous nanoparticles. Pd ions played an important role in the generation of nanoparticles in liquid via laser ablation. The femtosecond laser produced both pure and heterogeneous nanoparticles of uniform size. The nanosecond laser produced pure nanoparticles with a relatively non-uniform size, which developed into spherical heterogeneous nanoparticles with a uniform (small) size in the presence of Pd ions. These nanoparticles could optimize applications such as photothermal therapy and catalysis.

Abstract
Superstructures of gold nanospheres offer augmented surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activities beyond the limits of their individual building blocks. However, for application as reliable and quantitative colloidal SERS probes, some key aspects need to be considered to combine efficiency and robustness with respect to hotspot excitation, analyte adsorption, signal stability, and colloidal stability. For this purpose, we studied core/satellite superstructures with spherical cores as a simple optically isotropic model system. Superstructures of different core sizes were assembled using bovine serum albumin (BSA), which serves as a non-specific biomacromolecular linker and provides electrosteric stabilization. We show that the "noisy" spectral footprint of the protein coating may serve as an internal standard, which allows accurate monitoring of the adsorption kinetics of analytes. The SERS activity was quantified using 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) as an aromatic low-molecular-weight model analyte. The molar SERS efficiency was studied by variation of the particle (Au0) and analyte concentrations with a limit of detection of 10-7 M MBA. The practical importance of colloidal stability for robust measurement conditions was demonstrated by comparing the superstructures with their citrate-stabilized or protein-coated building blocks. We explain the theoretical background of hotspot formation by a leader/follower relationship of asymmetric control between the core and the satellites and give practical guidelines for robust colloidal SERS sensing probes.

Abstract
This review provides an overview of current progress in Pd nanoparticles supporting localized surface plasmon resonance and their applications. We begin by analyzing briefly the optical properties of Pd putting particular focus on outlining the origin of its size- and shape-dependent LSPR, high refractive index sensitivity, and high absorption contribution. The differences in the optical behavior with Au and Ag, the primary plasmonic materials, are highlighted. The main strategies to synthesize Pd nanoparticles, pure or hybrid, with well-defined optical properties are then reviewed. In this section, we include only those works that carry out the study of the optical properties of the nanoparticles. The applications of plasmonic Pd nanoparticles are also discussed in detail. This review is concluded with a section devoted to the future perspectives highlighting the most relevant challenges to be addressed to take Pd nanoparticles from the laboratory to real applications.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, there has been a growing interest in the use of plasmonic nanoparticles as sources of heat remotely controlled by light, giving rise to the field of thermoplasmonics. The ability to release heat on the nanoscale has already impacted a broad range of research activities, from biomedicine to imaging and catalysis. Thermoplasmonics is now entering an important phase: some applications have engaged in an industrial stage, while others, originally full of promise, experience some difficulty in reaching their potential. Meanwhile, innovative fundamental areas of research are being developed. In this Review, we scrutinize the current research landscape in thermoplasmonics, with a specific focus on its applications and main challenges in many different fields of science, including nanomedicine, cell biology, photothermal and hot-electron chemistry, solar light harvesting, soft matter and nanofluidics.

Abstract
Systematically tuning the structures and properties of noble-metal nanoparticles through biomolecule-mediated overgrowth is of significant importance for their applications in biosensing and imaging. Herein thiolated biomolecules with different concentrations and sizes (molecular weight and spatial structure) were used as a class of capping ligands to control the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) property of gold nanorods (GNRs). The LSPR peaks were red-shifted by increasing the capping agent concentration. The size effect could be divided to two aspects: (1) When the ligands are small molecules, the LSPR peak is blue-shifted as the size of the capping ligand increases. (2) When the ligands are macromolecular proteins, the LSPR property is similar to that of the overgrown nanoparticle (Au@gap@GNR) without thiolated biomolecules as capping agents. Interestingly, thiol-free and nonhomooligomeric DNA strands as capping agents present a similar influence in shaping the overgrowth of GNRs by varying their concentrations and sizes. In addition, the size effect of a DNA nanostructure was used to construct a ΔλLSPR-based catalytic nucleic acid biosensor using a DNA dendritic nanostructure as a capping agent combined with LSPR signals generated from the Au@gap@GNRs with morphological evolution. More importantly, the ΔλLSPR-based biosensor possesses three advantages in nucleic acid biosensing: (1) It is completely label- and wash-free, (2) it has an ultrahigh sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, and (3) it can be visualized without any instrumental aid, indicating a significant potential for ultrasensitive biosensing.

Abstract
Progress of thermal tumor therapies and their translation into clinical practice are limited by insufficient nanoparticle concentration to release therapeutic heating at the tumor site after systemic administration. Herein, the use of Janus magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles, made of gold nanostars and iron oxide nanospheres, as efficient therapeutic nanoheaters whose on-site delivery can be improved by magnetic targeting, is proposed. Single and combined magneto- and photo-thermal heating properties of Janus nanoparticles render them as compelling heating elements, depending on the nanoparticle dose, magnetic lobe size, and milieu conditions. In cancer cells, a much more effective effect is observed for photothermia compared to magnetic hyperthermia, while combination of the two modalities into a magneto-photothermal treatment results in a synergistic cytotoxic effect in vitro. The high potential of the Janus nanoparticles for magnetic guiding confirms them to be excellent nanostructures for in vivo magnetically enhanced photothermal therapy, leading to efficient tumor growth inhibition.

Abstract
The optical properties of nanoparticle assemblies can be tailored via hybridization of plasmon modes. Isotropic core/satellite superstructures made of spherical nanoparticles are known to exhibit coupled modes with a strongly scattering (radiative) character, and provide hot spots yielding high activity in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). However, to complement this functionality with plasmonic heating, additional absorbing (non-radiative) modes are required. We introduce herein anisotropic superstructures formed by decorating a central nanorod with spherical satellite nanoparticles, which feature two coupled modes that allow application for both SERS and heating. On the basis of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and electromagnetic simulations, the origin of the coupled modes is disclosed and thus serves as a basis toward alternative designs of functional superstructures. This work represents a proof-of-principle for the combination of high SERS efficiency with efficient plasmonic heating by near-infrared irradiation.
