Abstract

Abstract

As an opened-bandgap derivative, graphene oxide greatly enriches its optical properties and extends its applications in sensing and imaging. In particular, graphene oxide-confined π-conjugated structures provide very favorable conditions for the construction of luminescent carbon materials. Nowadays, more and more works have reported that graphene oxide and its derivatives can generate multicolor fluorescent signals. However, systematically summarizing these studies to reveal the luminescence mechanism of graphene oxide are still relatively rare. In this paper, the synthesis of luminescent graphene oxide nanomaterials and their application in optical imaging are summarized, which provides some constructive suggestions for the further development of new luminescent graphene oxide materials.
