A novel photo‐responsive drug carrier that doubles as a photothermal agent with a nanocookie‐like structure is constructed by coating amorphous carbon on a mesoporous silica support self‐assembled on a sheet of reduced graphene oxide. With a large payload (0.88 mmolg−1) of a hydrophobic anticancer d...
