Abstract
In an effort to fulfill the strategy of sustainable development, Rhodamine B, a common and toxic organic pollutant in the textile industry, was reported for the first time as a single precursor to develop a kind of novel hydrophobic nitrogen-doped carbon dot (HNCD) through a green and facile one-pot solvothermal method. The HNCDs with an average size of 3.6 nm possess left and right water contact angles of 109.56° and 110.34°, respectively. The HNCDs manifest excitation wavelength-tunable and upconverted fluorescence from the ultraviolet (UV) to the near-infrared (NIR) range. Furthermore, the PEGylation of HNCDs enables them to be used as an optical marker for cell and in vivo imaging. Notably, the HNCDs with solvent-dependent fluorescence can be used for invisible inks with a wide range of light responses from UV-vis-NIR spectra. This work not only provides an innovative way to recycle chemical waste but also expands the potential application of HNCDs in NIR security printing and bioimaging.

Abstract
Fluorescent biomedical materials can visualize subcellular structures and therapy processes in vivo. The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon helps suppress the quenching effect in the aggregated state suffered by conventional fluorescent materials, thereby contributing to design strategies for fluorescent biomedical materials. Photoresponsive biomedical materials have attracted attention because of the inherent advantages of light; i.e., remote control, high spatial and temporal resolution, and environmentally friendly characteristics, and their combination with AIE facilitates development of fluorescent molecules with efficient photochemical reactions upon light irradiation. In this review, organic compounds with AIE features for biomedical applications and design strategies for photoresponsive AIE luminogens (AIEgens) are first summarized briefly. Applications are then reviewed, with the employment of photoresponsive and AIE-active molecules for photoactivation imaging, super-resolution imaging, light-induced drug delivery, photodynamic therapy with photochromic behavior, and bacterial targeting and killing being discussed at length. Finally, the future outlook for AIEgens is considered with the aim of stimulating innovative work for further development of this field.

Abstract
Acidophilic highly-photoluminescent ionic liquid (IL)-modified carbon dots (CDs) were fabricated directly from polyethylene glycol-2000 (PEG2000N) by a simple one-step hydrothermal method in a system containing an IL (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [C4mim]Br) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). In this process, PEG2000N works as the carbon source, [C4mim]Br as the modifier, and HCl as the accelerator. CDs with low photoluminescence (PL) intensity and quantum yields (QYs) were generated in the system without H+, but CDs with high PL intensity and QYs could be prepared after H+ was introduced. Moreover, with the increase of H+ concentration, the QYs of the prepared CDs increase subsequently, and the highest QY reaches up to 43%. The formation mechanism was explored, and the results showed that H+ changes the surface groups of the CDs generated without H+ into those that exist on the CDs generated with H+, which further improves the PL performance of the CDs. Different from most CDs reported in the literature, the as-prepared CDs can still exhibit high PL intensity even under strong acidic condition.
