The application of gold nanorods (AuNRs) and graphene oxide (GO) has been widely studied due to their unique properties. Although each material has its own challenges, their combination produces an exceptional material for many applications such as sensor, therapeutics, and many others. This review covers the progress made so far in the synthesis and application of GO-coated AuNRs (GO-AuNRs). Initially, it highlights different methods of synthesizing AuNRs and GO followed by two approaches (ex situ and in situ approaches) of coating AuNRs with GO. In addition, the properties of GO-AuNRs composite such as biocompatibility, photothermal profiling, and their various applications, which include photothermal therapy, theranostic, sensor, and other applications of GO-AuNRs are also discussed. The review concludes with challenges associated with GO-AuNRs and future perspectives.
由于金纳米棒(AuNRs)和氧化石墨烯(GO)具有独特的性质,它们的应用已得到广泛研究。尽管每种材料都有其自身的挑战,但它们的组合产生了一种适用于许多应用(如传感器、治疗学等)的特殊材料。本综述涵盖了迄今为止在合成和应用氧化石墨烯包覆的金纳米棒(GO-AuNRs)方面所取得的进展。首先,它重点介绍了合成AuNRs和GO的不同方法,随后介绍了用GO包覆AuNRs的两种方法(非原位和原位方法)。此外,还讨论了GO-AuNRs复合材料的性质,如生物相容性、光热分析,以及它们的各种应用,包括光热疗法、诊疗、传感器以及GO-AuNRs的其他应用。综述最后讨论了与GO-AuNRs相关的挑战和未来展望。
