Article Abstract
Copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) have attracted great research interest in recent years owing to its unique physical, electrical and optical properties. Macromolecules have been widely used as templates to synthesize fluorescent Cu NCs. In this study, a simple method for synthesis of albumin chicken egg capped porous copper nanoclusters (p-Cu NCs) was developed for the first time. The obtained p-Cu NCs exhibited intense emission and excitation peaks at 280 nm and 340 nm, respectively. Besides, the p-Cu NCs fluorescence probe could be quenched by Fe ions in aqueous solutions. Therefore, the p-Cu NCs can be excellently candidated as fluorescent probe for the detection of Fe ions. Under optimized conditions, this fluorescent probe exhibited a wide linear response concentration range (0.2 to 100 μM) to Fe with a detection limit of 0.0234 μM. In addition, the fluorescent probe has been successfully used for the detection of Fe in natural water samples with satisfactory result.

Article Synopsis
- * This work extends the Kirkendall effect to allow reversible structural and phase transformations between metal chalcogenides and metal phosphides using NiS/CuS NCs as starting points.
- * By utilizing ligand-regulated sequential extractions and anion diffusion, the method enables solid-to-hollow-to-solid transformations while maintaining NC morphology, creating versatile reconfigurable NCs with adjustable compositions and structures.
