Abstract

Abstract : Ultrabright carbon nanodots‐hybridized silica nanospheres (CSNs) are synthesized through the Stöber process of silane functionalized C‐dots. The fluorescence of carbon nanodots is converged intensely. A CSN is about 3800 times brighter than a single‐carbon nanodot. Along with their high brightness and low cytotoxicity, CSNs also indicate their potential application in cellular labeling.
