Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2019-11-11 DOI: 10.1039/C9CC07704A

Abstract

Fluorescent silica nanoparticles, which encapsulated dye DCF-BYT with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) were fabricated by a simple synthetic method. Even in the atmospheric aqueous environment, the obtained DCF-BYT nanoparticles exhibited extremely long TADF lifetime up to 9.33 ms, which imparts these nanoparticles with great potential in biological applications, like time-resolved fluorescence imaging.
