Controlling silica coating thickness on TiO2 nanoparticles for effective photodynamic therapy

Photosensitive nanoparticles are useful in developing phototherapeutic agents for targeted cancer therapy.In this paper, core–shell structured titanium dioxide–silica (TiO2–SiO2) nanoparticles, with varying shell thickness, were synthesized. The influence of the silica shell thickness on the photore...
