Highly luminescent, water-soluble and biocompatible Carbon Quantum Dots (aqCQDs) were prepared by encapsulating the parent hydrophobic CQDs in an amphiphilic polymer. The resulting aqCQDs were non-toxic to living cells, and were found to cross the cell membrane and localise primarily in the cytosol.
通过将亲脂性的碳量子点(CQDs)封装在两亲性聚合物中,制备出了具有高光致发光性、水溶性和生物相容性的碳量子点(aqCQDs)。所得的 aqCQDs 对活细胞无毒,并且被发现能够穿过细胞膜,并主要定位于细胞质中。
