Abstract
) at concentrations of 10 and 15 μM, respectively. The possible reason for this was that under PDT, the ROS produced by the Cur-NRCQDs destroyed the integrity of the cell membrane, resulting in leakage of the contents. In addition, the Cur-NRCQDs showed good cell compatibility, as they can also enter bacteria and cells for imaging, so they can be employed for the detection of bacteria and cell tissues. Therefore, Cur-NRCQDs are an ideal candidate material for aPDT treatment and fluorescent bioimaging.
