We report a simple fluorescence sensor array based on metal ions–gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) for the identification of proteins. The proposed method can also be used for bacteria sensing.
Excessive copper ions (Cu2+)cause serious environmental pollution and even endanger the health of organisms. Fluorescence chemosensing materials are widely used in the detection of metal ions due to their simple...
We present a novel approach to produce gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) in the pores of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) by sequential and controlled addition of metal ions and reducing agents.
Near infrared-emitting AuNCs can be achieved using thiols, proteins, peptides, and polymers as a templates, these NIR-emitting fluorescent AuNCs are suitable for sensing of metal ions, anions, aminothiols and real-world samples.
