title: Construction of stable chainlike Au nanostructures via silica coating and exploration for potential photothermal therapy.
abstract: A facile one-pot approach is successfully developed to construct the stable Au nanochains with silica shell via self-assembly and classical Stöber process. The resulting Au chain@SiO2 nanoparticles holds great promise for serving as a safe, reusable, and high-performance photothermal agent against cancer.
