Water-soluble and phosphorus-containing carbon dots with strong green fluorescence for cell labeling

Abstract

Water-soluble phosphorus-containing carbon dots (PCDs) with strong green fluorescence were synthesized through a facile one-step microwave assisted approach using phosphorus-rich phytic acid as a carbon source. Owing to their strong green fluorescence and low cytotoxicity, the PCDs are promising as bio-imaging agents.
