description Due to their unique optical and biochemical properties, the water-soluble fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have attracted a lot of attention recently. Here, strong fluorescent carbon dots with excellent quality have been synthesized by the hydrothermal refluxing method using lactose as carbon source and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (i.e. Tris) as surface passivation reagent. This facile approach was simple, efficient, economical, green without pollution, and allows large-scale production of CDs without any post-treatment. TEM measurements showed that the resulting particles exhibited an average diameter of 1.5nm. The obtained CDs possess small particle sizes, good stability in a wide range of pH values (pH 3.5–9.5), high tolerance of salt concentration, strong resistibility to photobleaching, and a fluorescent quantum yield up to 12.5%. The CDs were applied to optical bioimaging of HeLa cells, showing low cytotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility. Strong fluorescent carbon dots with excellent quality were synthesized by a single-step hydrothermal refluxing method using lactose and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane. [Display omitted] •Strong fluorescent carbon dots with excellent quality have been synthesized by hydrothermally refluxing lactose and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (i.e. Tris).•This facile approach was simple, mild, green and allows large-scale production of CDs without any post-treatment.•The CDs were applied to optical bioimaging of HeLa cells, showing low cytotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility.
