▎ 摘  要

Herein, we designed and developed a multifunctional nanocomposites by complexing NaGdF4:Yb/Er nanoparticles (UCNPs) with amino functionalized graphene quantum dots (af-GQDs). In the as-prepared nanocomposite (af-GQD/UCNPs), properties of UCNPs and af-GQDs were incorporated into a single nanoplatform to endow therapeutic and diagnostic functions. The UCNPs were employed as an imaging probe and a contrast agent for CT imaging, and the af-GQDs served as a therapeutic agent and photosensitizer (PS) by generating singlet oxygen for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Furthermore, the nanocomposites were investigated by electron microscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, zeta potential measurement, UV-vis spectroscopy, upconversion luminescence measurement, and cytotoxicity assessment. The in vitro experiments displayed excellent X-ray attenuation ability and PDT effects of af-GQD/UCNPs. Hence, the proposed multifunctional nanocomposites, which possesses upconversion luminescence, photodynamic, and X-ray attenuation properties, might be a viable option for application in bio-imaging and photodynamic therapy.
