Abstract

Herein, a novel ratiometric fluorescent composite nanoprobe RV-1@GQDs-OH was developed based on OH-functionalized GQDs (GQDs-OH) and molecular probe (RV-1) viaπ-π stacking. Compared with the conventional "on-off" viscosity probes, RV-1@GQDs-OH can be successfully applied in living systems for the ratiometric detection of viscosity changes in the viscosity range of 0-600 cP.
