Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a rapidly expanding area which has attracted great research attention, and has emerged as a promising method for cancer treatment recently. PTT mainly relies on the local heating effect from photothermal agents (PTAs), which can transform the energy of light into heat. Various inorganic PTAs such as gold nanorods, carbon nanomaterials, layered transition metal dichalcogenides and various polymeric nanomaterials have been developed for PTT applications.
