Commercial GO was used for the preparation
of NI-BODIPY-GO nanocarriers
according to the modified method previously reported elsewhere.1 (link) Briefly, 20 mg of GO was dispersed in 60 mL of
distilled water by ultrasonication (1.5 h) to obtain a homogeneous
suspension of GO. Afterward, 20 mg of NI-BODIPY derivative (1012) was added and magnetically stirred
at room temperature for several minutes. Then, the mixture was stirred
for 40 h for dye adsorption on GO at room temperature. The resulting
mixture was filtered through a polycarbonate membrane with 0.2 mm
pores, and the obtained solid material was washed with water several
times to remove the excess of compounds 1012 then dried in a vacuum oven for 48 h at 45 °C.
