Investigation of structure, optical, and photothermal properties in MoS2/Fe3O4/CuS nanocomposite for doxorubicin delivery
摘要
The objective of the present study is to develop a novel nanocomposite platform for drug delivery, and photothermal therapy. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet, as one of the most stable transitional metal dichalcogenides, indicates unique structure, thermal, and optical properties. In this work, MFC nanocomposite was synthesized from MoS2 nanosheets, iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, and copper monosulfide (CuS) nanoparticles. Then structural, morphology, and optical properties of the nanocomposite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopies. After that, a photothermal experiment was done for the MFC nanocomposite with different concentrations (50, 100, 150, 200, and 400 ppm). Photothermal experiments indicated that nanocomposite with the concentration of 400 ppm have produced the highest photothermal heat (58.3
