A TEM image of GNR@Mem; B temperature of GNR@Mem dispersion as a function of irradiation time under 980 nm light at 0.5 W/cm2 for 1 min (the GNR concentration was 100 mg/mL); Quantitative analysis of C ɣ-H2AX foci density, and D cell apoptosis and necrosis ratio in different treatment groups (I—Control, II—4 Gy, III—GNR@PEG + 4 Gy, IV—GNR@Mem + 4 Gy, V—GNR@Mem + 4 Gy + NIR; the GNR concentration was 20 mg/mL); TEM images of the tumors in mice treated by E GNR@PEG and F GNR@Mem (scale bars are 200 nm); G Tissue distribution of GNRs 24 h after i.v. injection.
