a) The temporal evolution of the temperature of aqueous dispersions of MelNP at cMelNP = 1 mg-mL−1 under continuous UV irradiation is shown. These data indicate that steady state temperatures are achieved after 20 min. The heating rate is in close agreement with predictions based on optical absorption and scattering from nanoparticles (See Text). b) The steady state temperature increase of aqueous dispersions under continuous UV irradiation varies non-monotonically with particle concentration. Maximum heating rates are observed for MelNP concentration of 1 mg-mL−1.
