Microwave-assisted synthesis of photoluminescent glutathione-capped Au/Ag nanoclusters： A unique sensor-on-a-nanoparticle for metal ions, anions, and small molecules
2015
Overview
Even though great advances have been achieved in the synthesis of luminescent metal nanoclusters, it is still challenging to develop metal nanoclusters with high quantum efficiency as well as multiple sensing functionalities. Here, we demonstrate the rapid preparation of glutathione-capped Au/Ag nanoclusters （GS-Au/Ag NCs） using microwave irradiation and their unique sensing capacities. Compared to bare GS-Au NCs, the doped Au/Ag NCs possess an enhanced quantum yield （7.8% compared to 2.2% for GS-Au NCs）. Several characterization techniques were used to elucidate the atomic composition, particulate character, and electronic structure of the fabricated NCs. According to the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and X-ray absorption near-edge structure （XANES） spectra, a significant amount of Au exists in the oxidized state as Au（I）, and the Ag atoms are positively charged. In contrast to those nanoclusters that detect only one analyte, the GS-Au/Ag NCs can be used as a versatile sensor for metal ions, anions, and small molecules. In this manner, the NCs can be regarded as a unique sensor-on-a-nanoparticle.
