Non-plasmonic NIR-Activated Photothermal Agents for Photothermal Therapy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Near Infrared-Emitting Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

Abstract

Photothermal therapies rely on various types of optically active nanomaterials, such as carbon, silicon, titanium dioxide, iron-based, polymeric, and rare earth-doped nanomaterials, which are aiming to convert light into heat. However, lack of clear guidelines and standardized approaches to determine their photothermal properties hinders quantitative comparison between them and impedes focusing on the most promising ones. Therefore, the major motivation for this chapter is to highlight the recent progress, constrained to last 5 years, in the field of non-plasmonic photothermal agents activated in NIR spectral range, to qualitatively compare wide selection of available materials and to essay a quantitative comparison by adopting a simple, but effective approach. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of different photothermal agents were discussed in terms of their cytotoxicity, easiness of their biofunctionalization, and the minimal dose for efficient heat generation.
