Abstract :
Temperature is a critical parameter that influences activities of living organisms at various levels and also governs biochemical reactions in molecules as it defines their state and dynamics. Several methods have been applied for the sensing of temperature, but this work concentrates on using fluorescence-based nano-sensors detection methods due to their fast response, high spatial resolution, high-temperature resolution, and safety of remote handling. In this review, the emphasis is made on gold nanoparticles utilized as nanothermometers for both local and intracellular thermometry due to its good biocompatibility, high stability, and low cytotoxicity. Furthermore, these fluorescence temperature-dependent AuNPs were used as nanoprobes to measure temperatures at a different range. Moreover, this process is reversible, which illustrates that the fluorescence intensity of AuNPs can be regained to the initial intensity
