The binding of Zn2+ and Al3+ to OH on the copper core of Cu NCs promotes the formation of Cu NC–OH–Zn–OH–Cu NCs and Cu NC–OH–Al–OH–Cu NCs aggregates, which enables aggregation induced fluorescence enhancement.

Nanostructured functional materials with hollow interiors are considered to be good candidates for a variety of advanced applications. However, synthesis of uniform hollow nanocolloids with porous texture via wet chemistry method is still challenging. In this work, nickel cobalt precursors (NCP) in sub-micron sized spheres have been synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. The subsequent sulfurization process in hydrothermal system has changed the NCP to nickel cobalt sulfide (NCS) with porous texture. Importantly, the hollow interiors can be tuned through the sulfurization process by employing different dosage of sulfur source. The derived NCS products have been fabricated into supercapacitor electrodes and their electrochemical performances are measured and compared, where promising results were found for the next-generation high-performance electrochemical capacitors.

Facile methods were fabricated for preparation of highly fluorescent AuNCs with red emission using l-cysteine.

The mechanism for the fluorescence enhancement of DHLA protected gold nanoclusters has been investigated based on the adsorption of the thiolate ligand.
