Photothermal conversion efficiency (ηT) of NPs.
Notes: (A) Temperature of P1-PMD NPs, PEDOT-PMD NPs, Clevios PH1000, GNRs, and GNSs suspensions at equal OD that were irradiated with an 808-nm laser at 2 W/cm2 until steady state and then allowed to cool. (B) ηT of all NPs. Error bar represents standard deviation for sample replicates (n=3).
