Abstract
An efficient strategy for selective fluorescent detection of Cu2+ was developed based on the carbon quantum dots (CQDs) nanoconjugated with a specific organic molecule, amino TPEA, and further applied to intracellular sensing and imaging of Cu2+ as a consequence of the fluorescence properties and the established low cytotoxicity of CQDs.
