ABSTRACT
Carbon dots (CDs) as new fluorescent materials with excellent fluorescence properties have shown enormous potential applications, especially in anticounterfeiting and cell imaging. Herein, nitrogen-doped CDs (NCDs) with excellent biocompatibility were prepared by a simple thermal sintering method. An extremely large red shift (â¼130 nm) of the emission peak was observed when the excitation wavelength changes from 355 to 550 nm, indicating that NCDs are excellent fluorescent labeling materials for multiple cell imaging. On the other hand, NCDs showed obvious changes of emission intensity and peak position when the temperature increased from 223 to 323 K and the pH values changed from 1 to 13, respectively, which has been demonstrated by the "horse" pattern printed with NCD water-soluble fluorescent inks. The nontoxic NCDs dispersed in a multiple matrix are highly sensitive to excitation wavelength, temperature, and pH, indicating their great potential application in multiple anticounterfeiting and multiple cell imaging.
