Gold nanocages: synthesis, properties, and applications.
Sara E. Skrabalak,Jingyi Chen,Yugang Sun,Xianmao Lu,Leslie Au,Claire M. Cobley,Younan Xia,Younan Xia +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that changing the amount of metal precursor added to the suspension of Ag nanocubes is a simple means of tuning both the composition and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the metal nanocages.
Immuno Gold Nanocages with Tailored Optical Properties for Targeted Photothermal Destruction of Cancer Cells
Jingyi Chen,Danling Wang,Jiefeng Xi,Leslie Au,Andy Siekkinen,Addie Warsen,Zhi-Yuan Li,Hui Zhang,Younan Xia,Xingde Li +9 more
TL;DR: The preliminary photothermal results suggest that this new class of bioconjugated gold nanostructures, immuno gold nanocages, can potentially serve as an effective photothermal therapeutic agent for cancer treatment.
Facile synthesis of Ag nanocubes and Au nanocages
TL;DR: This protocol describes a method for the synthesis of Ag nanocubes and their subsequent conversion into Au nanocages via the galvanic replacement reaction, which can serve as sacrificial templates for the preparation of Au Nanocages.
