The invention relates to a pH (Potential of 
Hydrogen) responsive fluorescent carbon 
nanoparticle hybrid microgel and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) weighing fluorescent 
carbon nanoparticles, using 
methylene dichloride to dissolve and prepare a fluorescent carbon 
nanoparticle solution, adding 
acyl chloride monomers, reacting for 10 h under 
room temperature, removing a reaction 
solvent, adding water, and 
drying through rotation; (2) weighing to obtain double-bonded fluorescent 
carbon nanoparticles, adding the double-bonded fluorescent 
carbon nanoparticles into 
distilled water, transferring the liquid into a reaction container, adding a cross-linking agent, 
sodium dodecyl sulfate and pH 
responsive polymer monomers after exhausting air, introducing 
nitrogen gas to exhaust the air, heating, and adding an initiating agent into a three-opening 
bottle after reaction liquid begins to 
backflow; (3) continuously introducing 
nitrogen gas and stirring, and carrying out a 
backflow reaction for 5-20 h at 50-90 DEG C; (4) filtering after cooling to 
room temperature, taking filter liquor, and placing the filter liquor in a 
dialysis bag for dialyzing for 48 h. The obtained product is free of biological 
toxicity, the grain 
diameter of the product is about 760 nm, 
fluorescent light has good pH responsiveness under the excitation of the same 
wavelength, and the product has a good application in the fields of 
drug release, 
pH sensing and 
catalysis.
