Abstract

We synthesized Au@Cu2−xS core/shell nanorods (NRs) that have synergistic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effects using a new cation exchange process in ethylene glycol (EG) phase. The dual effect - NIR photothermal and surface positive charge plasmon - of Au@Cu2−xS NRs, promote the capability to degrade Aβ1-42 fibrils into amorphous protein.
