Microwave-assisted synthesis of BSA-protected small gold nanoclusters and their fluorescence-enhanced sensing of silver(i) ions.
Summary of "Microwave-assisted synthesis of BSA-protected small gold nanoclusters and their fluorescence-enhanced sensing of silver(i) ions."
A one-step microwave-assisted method is used for the synthesis of small gold nanoclusters, Au(16)NCs@BSA, which are used as a fluorescence enhanced sensor for detection of silver(i) ions with high selectivity and sensitivity.
