▎ 摘  要

Graphene oxide (GO) has been widely used as a fluorescence quencher, but its luminescent properties, especially tailor-made controlling emission colors, have been seldom reported due to its heterogeneous structures. Herein, we demonstrated a novel chemical oxidative strategy to tune GO emissions from brown to cyan without changing excitation wavelength. The precise tuning is simply achieved by varying reaction times of GO nanosheets in piranha solution, but there is no need for complex chromatography separation procedures. With increasing reaction times, oxygen content on the lattice of GO nanosheets increased, accompanied by the diminution of their sizes and sp(2) conjugation system, resulting in an increase of emissive carbon cluster-like states. Thereby, the luminescent colors of GO were tuned from brown to yellow, green, and cyan, and its fluorescent quantum yields were enhanced. The obtained multicolored fluorescent GO nanosheets would open plenty of novel applications in cellular imaging and multiplex encoding analysis.
