The authors describe an upconversion nanoparticle-based (UCNP–based) fluorometric method for ultrasensitive and selective detection of Cu2+. The UCNPs show a strong emission band at 550 nm under near-infrared excitation at 980 nm. The principle of the strategy is that gold nanoparticles (AuNP) can quench the fluorescence of UCNP. In contrast, the addition of L-cysteine (Cys) can induce the aggregation...
The authors describe a silicon nanoparticle-based fluorometric method for sensitive and selective detection of Cu2+. It is based on the catalytic action of Cu2+ on the oxidation of cysteine (Cys) by oxygen to form cystine and the by-product H2O2. The generated H2O2 is catalytically decomposed by Cu2+ to generate hydroxyl radicals which oxidize and destroy the surface of SiNPs. As a result, the blue...
