Origin of luminescence properties and synthetic methods for gold- and bimetallic gold-based nanomaterials

Abstract

Organic emissive dyes, which was first synthesized since mid of 19th century, play a major role in the field of sensing and biological imaging for several decades. The extensive use...

The roles of templates consisting of amino acids in the synthesis and application of gold nanoclusters

“…Aspects of MNCs and gold nanomaterials have been summarized in previous reviews, such as the synthetic methods, the atomic-level characterization, physicochemical properties, and potential applications of MNCs, 16,28,29 as well as the origin of luminescence properties and the synthetic methods for gold nanomaterials. 30 In terms of AuNCs (e.g. thiolate-protected AuNCs), their basic physics, chemical synthesis, and properties (including geometric, electronic, optical, catalytic and magnetic characteristics), and the strategies for improvement of the brightness have been reviewed.…”
