Problems solved by technology

However, after investigating various methods, we found a commonality. After these carbon dots are prepared, a surface passivation process is required. The quantum yield of carbon dots without this step of passivation is very low (1 %about)
However, the reagents used for passivation of carbon dots are often polymer-based, and it is more difficult for the carbon dots passivated by polymers to be modified in the next step to make them functional.
This will limit its broad application prospects
And partly limit the mass production of carbon quantum dots

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a biological imaging agent and the imaging agent prepared by the method, in particular to a preparation method of a carbon quantum dot biological imaging agent and the carbon quantum dot biological imaging agent. Background technique [0002] Fluorescent materials are widely used in biological imaging and other fields. Such materials generally include: fluorescent dyes, quantum dots, and noble metal nanoclusters. However, the current fluorescent materials still have various limitations in the application of biological imaging. For example, fluorescent dyes were first used in imaging and other fields, but they faced problems such as photobleaching and photodegradation. The birth of various quantum dots seems to have solved this problem. However, many quantum dots are difficult to be widely used in the field of biological imaging due to the complicated synthesis steps and the preparation products are hig...
