Hollow gold nanoshells provide optimized light absorption, superior plasmonic properties, and enhanced tunable resonance. Designed for advanced applications, they ensure efficient photothermal conversion, extended stability, and high-performance adaptability.
Product Overview
Hollow gold nanoshells are gold-based nanomaterials with unique hollow structures. These materials are fabricated using specialized techniques and can be surface-modified using substances like sodium citrate. The shells are ultra-thin, typically only a few nanometers thick, and both the inner and outer walls exhibit surface plasmon resonance (SPR) characteristics, enhancing the electromagnetic field on their surface. Due to these properties, hollow gold nanoshells show great potential in surface plasmon resonance-enhanced spectroscopy applications.
Features
- Unique Optical Properties: Hollow gold nanoshells exhibit strong surface plasmon resonance effects, with significant absorption and scattering properties. These optical properties can be tuned by adjusting the shell thickness and other structural parameters.
- High Surface Area: The hollow structure provides a large surface area, enhancing their effectiveness in various applications, especially those involving interactions with biomolecules.
- Surface Modifiability: The surface of hollow gold nanoshells is highly amenable to chemical modification and functionalization, making them adaptable for a wide range of applications.
Applications
- Tumor Therapy: The photothermal conversion capabilities of hollow gold nanoshells make them ideal for use in photothermal therapy, where they can effectively target and treat tumors using light-induced heat.
- Medical Imaging: Hollow gold nanoshells are widely used in near-infrared (NIR) optical imaging, improving imaging clarity and sensitivity. They can be used to enhance the contrast in biological tissue imaging.
- Drug Delivery: Serving as drug carriers, hollow gold nanoshells can precisely deliver therapeutic agents to targeted areas, enhancing the effectiveness and specificity of treatments.
- Photoacoustic Imaging: Hollow gold nanoshells can be integrated with photoacoustic technology to enable precise imaging and diagnosis, offering improved diagnostic capabilities for medical imaging.
