Ultrasmall organosilica nanoparticles with strong solid-state fluorescence for multifunctional applications.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Organosilica nanoparticles (ONs), which are a new type of photoluminescent nanomaterial (PM) with excellent biocompatibility, have caught more attention in recent years. However, their applications are significantly impeded by the complicated preparation process, poor photostability, and especially aggregation-induced quenching.

Objectives

The present study was aimed to design and prepare solid-state fluorescent ONs to avoid aggregation-induced quenching effect. In addition, the uses of ONs for fingerprint detection, white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) and lysosome-targetable cellular imaging were demonstrated.

Methods

Here, for the first time, we designed and prepared novel solid-state fluorescent ultrasmall ONs with orange-emitting photoluminescence via
