Abstract
Organic–inorganic nanohybrid materials represent a wide range of nanoscaled synthetic materials consisting of both organic and inorganic components that are linked together by covalent or non-covalent interactions, which have been widely employed in various fields such as optoelectronics, catalysis and biomedicine. As a result of this special combination, nanohybrid materials assemble numerous extraordinary features that provide great opportunities to improve their stability, multifunctions, biocompatibility, eco-friendliness and other physical and mechanical properties. This review highlights recent research developments of functional organic–inorganic nanohybrid materials and their specific applications in bioimaging including fluorescent, Raman, photoacoustic and combined bioimaging. Future research directions and perspectives in this rapidly developing field are also discussed.
