Facile fabrication of a C60-polydopamine-graphene nanohybrid for single light induced photothermal and photodynamic therapy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Sep 25;50(74):10815-8. doi: 10.1039/c4cc04416a.

Abstract

A C60-polydopamine-graphene nanohybrid is prepared by a facile approach via polydopamine chemistry. The hybrid displays synergistic photodynamic and photothermal cancer cell killing effects under single light irradiation.
