We report, for the first time, a new red-emitting hybrid material based on a single-benzene-based fluorophore (SBBF) and silica. This robust formulation shows several features, including bright emissions at a red wavelength (>600 nm), high scalability (>gram-scale), facile synthesis (one-pot reaction; SBBF formation, hydrolytic condensation, propagation), high stability (under different humidity, pH, light), bio-imaging applicability with low cellular toxicity, and an antibacterial effect within Gram-negative/Gram-positive strains. Based on our findings, we believe that these hybrid materials can pave the way for the further development of dye-hybrid materials and applications in various fields.

A new strategy for preparing amphibious ZnO quantum dots (QDs) with blue fluorescence within hyper-branched poly(ethylenimine)s (HPEI) was proposed in this paper. By changing [Zn2+]/[OH−] molar ratio and heating time, ZnO QDs with a quantum yields (QY) of 30% in ethanol were obtained. Benefiting from the amphibious property of HPEI, the ZnO/HPEI nanocomposites in ethanol could be dissolved in chloroform and water, acquiring a QY of 53%, chloroform and 11% in water. By this strategy, the ZnO/HPEI nano-composites could be applied in not only in optoelectronics, but also biomedical fields (such as bio-imaging and gene transfection). The bio-imaging application of water-soluble ZnO/HPEI nanocomposites was investigated and it was found that they could easily be endocytosed by the COS-7 cells, without transfection reagent, and they exhibited excellent biological imaging behavior.

The environment strongly affects both the fundamental physical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) and their functionality. Embedding NCs in polymer matrices is an efficient way to create a desirable NC environment needed for tailoring the NC properties and protecting NCs from adverse environmental factors. Luminescent NCs in optically transparent polymers have been investigated due to their perspective applications in photonics and bio-imaging. Here, we report on the manifestations of photo-induced enhancement of photoluminescence (PL) of aqueous colloidal NCs embedded in water-soluble polymers. Based on the comparison of results obtained on bare and core/shell NCs, NCs of different compounds (CdSe, CdTe, ZnO) as well as different embedding polymers, we conclude on the most probable mechanism of the photoenhancement for these sorts of systems. Contrary to photoenhancement observed earlier as a result of surface photocorrosion, we do not observe any change in peak position and width of the excitonic PL. Therefore, we suggest that the saturation of trap states by accumulated photo-excited charges plays a key role in the observed enhancement of the radiative recombination. This suggestion is supported by the unique temperature dependence of the trap PL band as well as by power-dependent PL measurement.

This study addresses the cellular uptake of nanomaterials in the field of bio-applications. In the present study, we have synthesized water-soluble lead sulfide quantum dot (PbS QD) with glutathione and 3-MPA (mercaptopropionic acid) as the stabilizing ligand using a green approach. 3-MPA-capped QDs were further modified with streptavidin and then bound to biotin because of its high conjugation efficiency. Labelling and bio-imaging of cells with these bio-conjugated QDs were evaluated. The bright red fluorescence from these types of QDs in HeLa cells makes these materials suitable for deep tissue imaging.
