Nanostructured materials that have low tissue toxicity, multi-modal imaging capability and high photothermal conversion efficiency have great potential to enable image-guided near infrared (NIR) photothermal therapy (PTT). Here, we report a bifunctional nanoparticle (BFNP, ∼16 nm) comprised of a magnetic Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> core (∼9.1 nm) covered by a fluorescent carbon shell (∼3.4 nm) and prepared via a one-pot solvothermal synthesis method using ferrocene as the sole source. The BFNP e ...[more]
