Photothermal and adsorption effects of silver selenide nanoparticles modified by different surfactants in nursing care of cancer patients.Silver selenide nanoparticles have advantages of low cytotoxicity, desirable near-infrared light response characteristics, and easy surface modification, which attract increasing attention in chemo-photothermal therapy and nursing care of cancer patients.  In order to investigate the photothermal and adsorption effects of CTAB-Ag2Se nanocomposites, we also prepared sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) modified Ag2Se nanoparticles to make a comparison.  The CTAB-Ag2Se nanoparticles showed high photothermal properties, a photothermal conversion efficiency of 20.1% and a high drug adsorption performance of 48.2 μg/mg.
