We report a class of multi-functional core–shell nanoarchitectures, consisting of silica nanospheres as the core and Gd2O3:Dy3+ nanocrystals as the ultra-thin shell, that enable unique multi-color living cell imaging and remarkable in vivo magnetic resonance imaging. These types of targeted cell imaging nanoarchitectures can be used as a variety of fluorescence nanoprobes due to the multi-color emissions of the Gd2O3:Dy3+ nanophosphor. We also proposed a strategy of modulating core–shell structure design to achieve an enhanced magnetic resonance contrast ability of Gd2O3 nanoagents, and the classical Solomon–Bloembergen–Morgan theory was applied to explicate the mechanism underlying the enhancement. The as-synthesized ligand-free nanomaterial possesses a suitable particle size for cellular uptake as well as avoiding penetrating the blood–brain barrier with good water-solubility, stability, dispersibility and uniformity. The extremely low cytotoxicity and favorable biocompatibility obtained from in vitro and in vivo bioassays of the as-designed nanoparticles indicate their excellent potential as a candidate for functioning as a targeted nanoprobe.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
