Excitation-dependent fluorophores (EDFs) have been attracted increasing attention owing to their high tunability of emissions and prospective applications ranging from multicolor patterning to bio-imaging. Here, we report tunable fluorescence with quenching dip induced by strong coupling of exciton and plasmon in the hybrid nanostructure of CTAB* EDFs and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The quenching dip in the fluorescence spectrum is tuned by adjusting excitation wavelength as well as plasmon resonance and concentration of AuNPs. The observed excitation-dependent emission spectra with quenching dip are theoretically reproduced and revealed to be induced by resonant energy transfer from multilevel EDFs with wider width channels to plasmonic AuNPs. These findings provide a new approach to prepare EDF molecules and a strategy to modulate fluorescence spectrum via exciton-to-plasmon energy transfer.

Here, we demonstrate a label-free dual optical response strategy for the detection of cytochrome c (Cyt c) with ultrahigh sensitivity using highly luminescent lanthanides containing inorganic-organic hybrid nanotubular sensor arrays. These sensor arrays are formed by the sequential incorporation of the photosensitizers 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) or 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), and trivalent lanthanide terbium ions (Tb) into sodium lithocholate (NaLC) nanotube templates. Our sensing platform relies on the detection and quantification of Cyt c in solution by providing dual photoluminescence quenching responses from the nanotubular hybrid arrays in the presence of Cyt c.

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a cutting-edge bioelectrochemical technology, which demonstrates power and other valuables recovery while treating wastewater by cultivating electroactive microbes. However, rampant biofilm growth over the cathode surface of air cathode MFC exacerbates the oxidation-reduction reaction rate, triggering a dip in the overall performance of MFC. In this sense, biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have garnered a plethora of potential applications as cathode catalysts as well as anti-biofouling agent for MFCs without harming nature.

In this study, free-standing CoO-CuO/CF electrodes are synthesized via an electrodeposition-annealing process and then protected by dip-coated carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The obtained CoO-CuO@CNTs/CF is employed as cathode to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of Bisphenol A (BPA) in an electrochemical system. The electrochemical assistant (EA) plays a critical role to accelerate metal redox by donating electrons sustainably, and the fast regeneration of Co/Cu could be achieved to promote chemical-catalysis for PMS activation, which is proved via the pre-electroreduction treatment.
