thermal imaging. The Au@SiNRs are readily modi‑
fied with targeting peptide ligands, enabling an enhanced tumor accumulation with a high value of ~ 8.74% ID g−1. Taking advantages of these unique merits, the Au@SiNRs are superbly suitable for specifically ablating tumors in vivo without appreciable toxicity under the guidance of multimodal imaging. Typically, all the mice treated with the Au@SiNRs remain alive, and no distinct tumor recurrence is observed during 60-day investigation.
