Mesoporous silica-loaded gold nanocluster with enhanced fluorescence and ratiometric fluorescent detection of thiram in foods

Hong-Xin Ren et al.

Summary: By preparing a core-shell QDs@mSiO(2)@y-AuNCs nanoprobe, a new ratiometric fluorescent sensor for thiram detection was successfully developed. The mechanism of thiram sensing was attributed to the formation of Au-S bonds between thiram and Au atoms on y-AuNCs surface, leading to the dissociation of 11-MUA ligand from the y-AuNCs surface and the charge transfer between thiram and y-AuNCs. The ratiometric fluorescence detection of thiram based on QDs@mSiO(2)@y-AuNCs showed a 3-fold enhanced sensitivity compared to fluorescence detection based on y-AuNCs, with a linear range of 0.5-60 ng/mL and a LOD of 0.19 ng/mL.

Summary: Size-selected 3 nm gas-phase Au clusters deposited via cluster beam deposition on a conducting fluorine-doped tin oxide template exhibit a strong enhancement in mass activity for the methanol electro-oxidation reaction compared to previously reported nanostructured gold electrodes. The high MEO activity is attributed to the high density of exposed under-coordinated Au atoms on their faceted surface, with vertices and edges being the most active sites due to their favorable CO and OH adsorption energies. The faceted structures in this size range, partly retained during deposition, may also protect against destructive restructuring during the oxidation-reduction cycle.

Fluorescent gold nanoclusters stabilized on halloysite nanotubes: in vitro study on cytotoxicity

Maksim Gorbachevskii et al.

Summary: Fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) stabilized with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid and supported on halloysite nanotubes modified with aminosilane showed good uptake by A549 human cells. At concentrations of 25-50 μg/mL, the material did not have a pronounced toxic effect but led to massive cell death via apoptosis at 100 μg/mL. This concentration-dependent toxicity mechanism allows for potential applications in bioimaging and cancer therapy.
