1 Introduction Generating thermal energy using abundant and convenient light energy is vital in different technologies.[1-3] Materials that can efficiently absorb incident light and convert it into thermal energy for other uses are therefore of immense importance.[4-6] Moreover, photothermal materials with reduced dimensionality, referred to as nano/quantum materials, are of particular interest due to their potential use in theranostic nanomedicine.[7, 8] The quest for new, efficient...

Photothermal therapy is a new, promising approach for treating cancer in a non-invasive way. In this work, we synthesized a photothermally efficient nanomaterial, by exposing bulk WS2 powder, dispersed in carbon-rich acetonitrile, to high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses. The photothermal measurements showed a significantly higher rise in temperature and enhanced photothermal efficiency for the laser-treated material.
