Book excerpt: Metal nanoparticles have exceptional optical, catalytic and electrical properties at nanoscale size that attract a large amount of research in various aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology. In addition to several unique optical, electrical and physical properties; metal nanoparticles also show "photothermal property". Photothermal property is related to the feature that makes metal nanoparticles strong absorber of electromagnetic radiation which turns the light energy into heat energy. Many chemical and catalytic properties can be driven by the heat generated by metal nanoparticles. Studying the heat generation and heat dissipation properties of a nanosystem to its surrounding is vital for developing efficient and optimal devices, treatment methods and chemical processes.
