title: Ultrathin carbon layer coated MoO2 nanoparticles for high-performance near-infrared photothermal cancer therapy.
abstract: Carbon layer-coated molybdenum dioxide nanoparticles exhibit strong photo-absorption in the near infrared (NIR) region with good photostability. The in vitro and in vivo experiments reveal that an excellent photothermal ablation induced from the nanoparticle agents under NIR irradiation can kill tumor cells not only at the cellular level but also in living organs.
