Nanoclay-modulated copper cysteamine composites for enhanced fluorescence

Herein, copper cysteamine (CC) was loaded with montmorillonite (MMT) to form a montmorillonite-copper cysteamine (MCC) composite that showed enhanced fluorescence properties. This enhancement was determined to have arisen from electron transfer, improved structural stability, and a nonradiative deactivation process.

Automated summary

A montmorillonite-copper cysteamine (MCC) composite was formed by loading copper cysteamine (CC) onto montmorillonite (MMT), which exhibited enhanced fluorescence properties. This enhancement was attributed to electron transfer, improved structural stability, and a nonradiative deactivation process.
