Organic fluorescent dyes with high quantum yield are widely applied in bioimaging and biosensing. However, most of them suffer from a severe effect called aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), which means that their fluorescence is quenched at molecular concentrations or the aggregation state. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) diametrically opposite phenomenon to ACQ, luminogens this feature can effectively solve problem. Graphene oxide has been utilized as quencher for many dyes, based on...
