Light‐Harvesting Photothermal Hotspots Enabled by NIR Scattering‐Absorption Coupling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By coupling the broadband scattering of nanodiamonds with the plasmonic absorption of gold nanostars, this work proposes a novel strategy for the active modulation of photon transport. This strategy creates localized photothermal hotspots in turbid media and achieves a supra‐additive heating efficiency, thereby providing a universal platform for low ...
