Abstract

Carbon dots (CDs) with low biotoxicity, high photostability, and well-controlled size are highly desirable imaging agents for optical bioimaging. However, most of the CDs triggered by ultraviolet/blue light present visible/first near-infrared emissions shorter than 820 nm, impairing their imaging applications in vivo by low penetration depth. Hence, developing novel CD-based materials with second near-infrared (NIR-II) emission located in 1000-1700 nm region is an urgent task. Here, a novel NIR-II-emitting CD-based nanoprobe triggered by 808 nm laser is developed. The designed CDs with 900-1200 nm luminescence possess high quantum yield (QY-0.4%) and high biocompatibility, which have proven to be effective probes for in vivo NIR-II bioimaging. Notably, nearly 65% CDs are excreted from mouse urine within 6 h, demonstrating the rapid renal clearance of CDs. Furthermore, the designed CDs also exhibit high photothermal efficiency (30.6%), making them ideal materials for thermal ablation of cancer. Our findings pave the way of designing a multifunctional CD-based theranostic platform for simultaneously integrating the advanced NIR-II bioimaging and photothermal therapy of cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
