Figure 2: Characterization of the TGNs.

(a,b) Absorbance spectrum of the GNRs, porphyrin, GNRs-porphyrin as well as TGNs by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. (c,d) The photothermal conversion of TGNs with various longitudinal absorption bands and concentrations by irradiation for 12 min with an 808 nm diode laser at a power density of 2 W/cm2 respectively. (e) Temperature difference profiles of TGNs (0.2 nmol/L) in consecutive 4 cycles of heating-cooling process.
