In this work, under mild condition, through the electrostatic interaction between carbon nanodots（CDs） and organic molecules, two novel ratiometric fluorescence hybrid nanosensors were fabricated for sensing acidic p H. These nanohybrid systems possess dual emission peaks at 455 and 527 nm under a single excitation wavelength of 380 nm in acidic p H condition.With the increasing of p H, the fluorescence of the 1,8-naphthalimide derivative completely quenches,while the blue fluorescence of CDs keeps constant. Furthermore, the CDsàorganic molecular nanohybrids exhibit excellent anti-disturbance ability, reversible p H sensing ability, and a linear response range in wide p H range respectively. Besides the ability to target lysosome, with one of the nanosensor, stimulated p H change has been successfully tracked in a ratiometric manner via fluorescence imaging.展开更多
