Development of a carbon quantum dots-based fluorescent Cu super(2+) probe suitable for living cell imaging

An efficient strategy for selective fluorescent detection of Cu super(2+) was developed based on the carbon quantum dots (CQDs) nanoconjugated with a specific organic molecule, amino TPEA, and further applied to intracellular sensing and imaging of Cu super(2+) as a consequence of the fluorescence p...

Summary:An efficient strategy for selective fluorescent detection of Cu super(2+) was developed based on the carbon quantum dots (CQDs) nanoconjugated with a specific organic molecule, amino TPEA, and further applied to intracellular sensing and imaging of Cu super(2+) as a consequence of the fluorescence properties and the established low cytotoxicity of CQDs.
