Abstract

Gold nanorod (GNR) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrids are synthesized using photochemical method based on femtosecond laser ablation without the usage of strong chemical reducing agents. The products are characterized by absorption spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The formed GNR are well located on the surface of rGO sheets. By adjusting the laser ablation time, the aspect ratio and optical properties of GNR can be well controlled. The produced nanocomposites exhibited an excellent near-infrared (NIR) photothermal performance with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 77.8%, suggesting that the hybrids have large potential as agents in photothermal therapy.
