“…Metal nanoclusters (MNCs) consisting of a few to tens of metal atoms possess remarkably and inherently physical, electrical, and optical properties. , Particularly, CuNCs are superior for the easy, eco-friendly, and cost-effective synthesis when compared to other luminescent metals, such as AuNCs and AgNCs. Thus, they have been extensively applied in the field of sensing, imaging, catalyzing, and electronic devices. − Unfortunately, the development of CuNCs is usually constrained by the unsatisfactory stability and low fluorescence as a result of their high surface energy and easy oxidation of Cu . Extensive efforts have been devoted to improve the fluorescence properties of CuNCs, including fabrication of alloy NCs, aggregation-induced emission (AIE), , confinement effect, − etc.…”
