This study presents functionalizable photoluminescent magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (PLMNPs) produced by heating magnetic nanoparticles coated with non-photoluminescent hydrophilic poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) but without any add-on photoluminescent chemicals. The photoluminescence of PLMNPs is originated from a carbon nanodot layer that is converted from the PAA polymer coating layer during the heating process. Interestingly, PLMNPs are more photostable than conventional organic dyes. Further functionalization of PLMNPs is easily achieved through the coupling reaction with carboxyl groups of the coating layer on the surface. PLMNPs can be remotely heated by applying an alternating magnetic field due to the superparamagnetism, and are found to have good heating efficiency. All these advantages make these nanoparticles appealing for various biomedical applications, such as dual modality imaging and hyperthermia treatment.
