The bonding compositions of nitrogen and the amino-functionalized group played a critical role in their antimicrobial effects.Results: Compared with amino-group-free N-GQDs and amino-N-free GQDs, the amino-N-GQDs generated a higher amount of reactive oxygen species, demonstrating their superior efficacy for two-photon PDT. Additionally, the intrinsic luminescence properties and high photostability of the amino-N-GQDs demonstrate their suitability as an effective two-photon contrast agent for tracking bacteria during two-photon biomedical imaging.Conclusion: The amino-N-GQD and their remarkable properties may provide an efficient alternative approach for observing and easily eliminating malignant microbes in the future.Keywords: nitrogen atom-doped graphene quantum dots, amino-functionalized and nitrogen atom-doped graphene quantum dots, two-photon photodynamic therapy, two-photon contrast agent, two-photon biomedical imagingKuo WSYeh TSChang CYLiu JCChen CHSo ECWu PCDove Medical Pressarticlenitrogen atom-doped graphene quantum dotsamino-functionalized and nitrogen atom-doped graphene quantum dotstwo-photon photodynamic therapytwo-photon contrast agenttwo-photon biomedical imagingMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 6961-6973 (2020)
