A near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent donor/acceptor (D/A) nanoplatform based on Förster resonance energy transfer is important for applications such as deep-tissue bioimaging and sensing. However, previously reported D/A nanoparticles (NPs) often show limitations such as aggregation-induced fluorescenc...
