Carbon dots (CDs) with excellent cytocompatibility, tunable optical properties, and simple synthesis routes are highly desirable for use in bioimaging. However, the majority of existing CDs triggered by ultraviolet/blue light, presenting emissions visible/first near-infrared (NIR-I) regions, which do not allow deep tissue penetration. Emerging research into NIR-II emission red region has generated limited designs poor quantum yield, restricting their vivo imaging applications due to low penetration depth. Developing novel high yield significant far-reaching bioimaging photodynamic therapy. Here, it is developed first time Fe-doped (Fe-CDs) exhibiting linear relationship between 900-1200 nm fluorescence-emission pH values, (QY-1.27%), can be used as effective probes These findings demonstrate reliable accuracy 4 mm, reflecting real-time changes comparable a standard electrode. As an important example application, Fe-CDs probe non-invasively monitor gastric during digestion process mice, illustrating its potential aiding imaging-guided diagnosis diseases or therapeutic delivery.
