Abstract
, which endows the composite with high-performance in MR/FL imaging. Meanwhile, the FL intensity of Gd-CDs remains stable in the presence of multiple amino acids, which indicates that the FL imaging effect should not be impacted significantly in microenvironments in vivo. In addition to the inconspicuous cytotoxicity, Gd-CDs could be used efficiently for dual-modal molecular imaging to detect diseases such as tumors in the early stages.
