Abstract
Gold nanoparticles possess unique photothermal properties and have gained considerable interest in biomedical research, particularly for photothermal therapy (PTT). This study focuses on evaluating the photothermal properties of gold nanorods (AuNRs) supported on glass substrates upon excitation with near-infrared (NIR) light. Two aspect ratios of AuNRs were electrostatically immobilized onto glass with controlled coverage. In situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed to evaluate the photothermal behavior and morphological changes of the supported AuNRs during NIR laser irradiation. The XRD data sets were corroborated with scanning electron microscopy and Vis-NIR spectroscopy characterization. XRD revealed a linear temperature increase with laser power, aligning with theoretical predictions, and a slope dependent on the AuNR coverage, until the onset of morphology transformations around 120 °C. This study provides valuable insights into the photothermal properties of supported AuNRs, crucial for their application in PTT.
