The application of gold nanorods (AuNRs) and graphene oxide (GO) has been widely studied due to their unique properties. Although each material has its own challenges, their combination produces an exceptional material for many applications such as sensor, therapeutics, and many others. This review covers the progress made so far in the synthesis and application of GO-coated AuNRs (GO–AuNRs). Initially, it highlights different methods of synthesizing AuNRs and GO followed by two approaches (ex situ and in situ approaches) of coating AuNRs with GO. In addition, the properties of GO–AuNRs composite such as biocompatibility, photothermal profiling, and their various applications, which include photothermal therapy, theranostic, sensor, and other applications of GO–AuNRs are also discussed. The review concludes with challenges associated with GO–AuNRs and future perspectives.

Scanning Transmission

Here, anin situprobe for scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) has been developed and applied to the study of the bipolar resistive switching (BRS) mechanism in an Al/graphene oxide (GO)/Al resistive random access memory (RRAM) device. To performin situSTXM studies at the CK- and OK-edges, both the RRAM junctions and theI0junction were fabricated on a single Si3N4membrane to obtain local XANES spectra at these absorption edges with more delicateI0normalization. Using this probe combined with the synchrotron-based STXM technique, it was possible to observe unique chemical changes involved in the BRS process of the Al/GO/Al RRAM device. Reversible oxidation and reduction of GO induced by the externally applied bias voltages were observed at the OK-edge XANES feature located at 538.2 eV, which strongly supported the oxygen ion drift model that was recently proposed fromex situtransmission electron microscope studies.

ABSTRACTWe have employed unique properties of carbon-based as well as metallic nanomaterials to develop diagnostic / therapeutic devices targeted against thrombotic disorders. We have designed a novel graphene-based biosensor that can detect individuals with high coronary risk. Further, we describe an innovative strategy to ablate pathological thrombus in situ employing near-infrared laser-irradiated gold nanorods (photothermal therapy).

AbstractCancer theranostic agent IR 820 loses its bioimaging ability once therapy is initiated. At the end of therapy, it becomes difficult to track the cancer cells. To address this, FITC conjugated Polycaprolactone glycol chitosan IR 820 nanoparticles (FITC-PCLGC-IR NPs) has been synthesized for in vitro tracking of hyperthemia induced cell death. Two approaches, namely ex situ and in situ have been pursued FITC conjugation to PCLGC-IR NPs. Further comparisons were made to FITC encapsulated PCLGC-IR NPs in terms of biocompatibility, cellular uptake, photothermal mediated cell death and imaging with respect to laser treatment. We have shown that an 808 nm diode laser treatment did not affect the imaging ability of these NPs whereas cancer. Time scanned fluorescence shows the excellent photostability of this formulation for a maximum of 5 min. The detailed studies of these approaches summarize that FITC conjugation to PCLGC-IR nanoparticles is an effective nano-theranostic solution for image-guided photothermal therapy.
