Figure S3. The (a) UV-vis absorption, (b) fluorescence emission and (c) photothermal conversion study of different ratio of D-HA and I/C-PgP-IR825 on the rGO plane (PgP/HArGO). The ratio of D-HA and I/C-PgP on rGO was 20/100/1, 50/50/1 and 80/20/1, respectively. The used sample was 1 mg/mL and NIR laser 808 nm, 2 W/cm2.

Figure S4. The photothermal heat (∆T=Tn-T0) generation curve of C-PgP with rGO as a function of irradiation time. The NIR laser was at 808 nm with the power density of 2 W/cm2.

Figure S5. The photothermal characteristic of heat (∆T=Tn-T0) generation curve of free a) IR825, b) rGO and c) GO as a function of irradiation time. The reduce graphene oxide (rGO) were prepared by well known hydrazine reduction method. The inset shows the photographic image of prepared 1 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL and 0.1 mg/mL sample, respectively. The NIR laser was at 808 nm with the power density of 2 W/cm2.

Figure S10. Confocal laser scan microscope (CLSM) image of MDAMB-231 cells incubated with PgP/HA-rGO for 0 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, 4 hr and 6 hr in neutral pH. (Blue, Lysotracker; Green, PgP/HA-rGO). The fluorescence intensity increased with time owing to endosomal acidic environment. However the increased intensity of PgP/HA-rGO and weak overlap fluorescence of LysoTracker after 4 hr incubation, indicating escape from lysosome. This experiment was performed in neutral pH.
