Indocyanine Green-Loaded Halloysite Nanotubes as Photothermal Agents
Photothermal nanoparticles with light-to-heat conversion properties have gained interest in recent years and have been used in a variety of applications. Herein, indocyanine green (ICG), which is commonly employed as a photothermal agent suffering from low photostability, was loaded into halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) resulting in photothermal HNT-ICG ...
