Organic–inorganic nanohybrids based on an AIE luminogen-functional polymer and CdTe/ZnS QDs: morphologies, optical properties, and applications

Dual-emissive organic–inorganic nanohybrid self-assemblies were constructed by binding red-emitting CdTe/ZnS QDs to blue-emitting AIE-active polymeric micelles in water as a fluorescent probe for PA with interesting assembly behaviour.
