Fig. 2: Characterization of PtNP-shell.

a TEM image of PtNP-shell, n = 10 independent replicates (inset: schematic diagram of PtNP-shell; right: element mapping). b STEM images of PtNP-shell surface, n = 6 independent replicates. c XRD spectrum of PtNP-shell (inset: SAED pattern). d UV–vis–NIR absorption spectrum of GaNPs, Ga@Pt NPs, and PtNP-shell (75 μg mL−1). e Temperature elevation curves of PBS, GaNPs, Ga@Pt NPs and PtNP-shell (50 μg mL−1) under NIR-II laser irradiation (1 W cm−2). f Calculation of the PCE at 1064 nm (PtNP-shell: 50 μg mL−1).
