Abstract: The study aims to investigate the photothermal efficiency of hollow gold nanoparticles (HAuNPs) and their cytotoxic effects on colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cell lines. HAuNPs have garnered significant interest as potential agents for photothermal therapy in cancer treatment due to their unique properties. In this research, HAuNPs were synthesized and characterized using various UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The photothermal efficiency of the HAuNPs was evaluated by irradiating them with 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser light, and the resulting temperature rise was monitored using both a thermocouple and an infrared thermal camera......
