Strongly green-photoluminescent graphene quantum dots for bioimaging applications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strongly fluorescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been prepared by one-step solvothermal method with PL quantum yield as high as 11.4%. The GQDs have high stability and can be dissolved in most polar solvents. Because of fine biocompatibility and low toxicity, GQDs are demonstrated to be excellent bioimaging agents.

The effect of graphite sources on preparation of Photoluminescent graphene nano-sheets for biomedical imaging
Objective(s): Graphene as two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted wide attention in different fields such as biomedical imaging. Ultra-small graphene nano-sheets (UGNSs) have been designated as low dimensional graphene sheets with lateral dimensions less than few nanometres (≤ 500 nm) in one, two or few layers. Several studies have proven that the process of acidic exfoliation and oxidati...

To obtain graphene-based fluorescent materials, one of the effective approaches is to convert onedimensional (1D) graphene to 0D graphene quantum dots (GQDs), yielding an emerging nanolight with extraordinary properties due to their remarkable quantum confinement and edge effects. In this review, the state-of-the-art knowledge of GQDs is presented. The synthetic methods were summarized, with em...
متن کاملSynthesis of strongly green-photoluminescent graphene quantum dots for drug carrier.
A novel approach has been developed for the preparation of strongly green-photoluminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs-PEG) which have been surface-passivated by polyethylene glycol. The photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of the GQDs-PEG with 400 nm excitation was about 18.8%, which was higher than other GQDs reported in the literature. More importantly, the surface-passivated PEG on GQDs can...
متن کاملCellular distribution and cytotoxicity of graphene quantum dots with different functional groups
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been developed as promising optical probes for bioimaging due to their excellent photoluminescent properties. Additionally, the fluorescence spectrum and quantum yield of GQDs are highly dependent on the surface functional groups on the carbon sheets. However, the distribution and cytotoxicity of GQDs functionalized with different chemical groups have not been ...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Fluorescence in N-Doped Graphene Quantum Dots
Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) were fabricated by microwave-assisted hydrothermal technique. The optical properties of the N-GQDs were studied. The luminescence of the N-GQDs can be tuned by varying the excitation wavelength. Furthermore, two-photon luminescence of the N-GQDs excited by near-infrared laser can be obtained. It is shown that N-doping play a key role on two-photon l...
