Multimodality imaging is highly desirable for accurate diagnosis by achieving high sensitivity, spatial temporal resolution, and penetration depth with a single structural unit. However, it is still challenging to integrate fluorescent and plasmonic modalities into a single structure, as they are naturally incompatible because of significant fluorescence quenching by plasmonic noble-metal nanoparticles. Herein, we report a new type of silver@AIEgen (aggregation-induced emission luminogen) core-shell nanoparticle (AACSN) with both strong aggregated-state fluorescence of the AlEgen and distinctive plasmonic scattering of silver nanoparticles for multimodality imaging in living cells and small animals. The AACSNs were prepared through a redox reaction between silver ions and a redoxactive AlEgen, which promoted synergistic formation of the silver core and self-assembly of the AlEgen around the core. The resulting AACSNs exhibited good biocompatibility and high resistance to environmental damage. As a result, excellent performance in fluorescence imaging, dark-field microscopy, and X-ray computed tomography-based multimodality imaging was achieved.
