Fluorescence imaging in the spectral region beyond conventional near-infrared biological window (700-900 nm) can theoretically afford high resolution and deep tissue penetration. Although some efforts have been devoted to developing a short-wave infrared (SWIR; 900-1700 modality past decade, long-wavelength biomedical is still suboptimal owing unsatisfactory materials properties of SWIR fluorophores. Taking advantage organic dots based on an aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen),...

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...
