Key Points

This research aims to develop a robust self-assembly strategy for copper nanoclusters to enhance cyanide sensing capabilities.
Developed an acetone-triggered assembly process for L-cysteine-capped copper nanoclusters.
Evaluated the photoluminescence efficiency and environmental stability of the resulting nanoclusters.
Investigated the efficacy of the nanoclusters for cyanide detection in controlled settings.
Achieved a significant increase in photoluminescence efficiency for the assembled nanoclusters compared to unassembled ones (exact metrics not stated).
Demonstrated improved environmental stability of copper nanoclusters under various conditions.
Successfully detected cyanide with high sensitivity using the assembled nanoclusters.

Implication

Shows effective cyanide sensing using acetone-triggered copper nanoclusters, indicating practical application in safety.

Abstract

Copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) are promising fluorophores, yet their practical applications are often limited by low photoluminescence efficiency and poor environmental stability. Herein, we report an acetone-triggered strategy for constructing stable...
