Cancer Therapy: High-Yield Synthesis of Multifunctional Tellurium Nanorods to Achieve Simultaneous Chemo-Photothermal Combination Cancer Therapy (Adv. Funct. Mater. 33/2017).

A valid tactic for facile synthesis of multifunctional tellurium nanorods to achieve simultaneous chemophotohermal combination cancer therapy is reported by Tianfeng Chen and co‐workers in article number 1701388. In combination with near‐infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, the tellurium nanorods exhibit good photothermal conversion ability from NIR light to heat energy, and show excellent chemo‐photothermal efficiency and low toxicity to normal organs.
