We reported a novel dual-emission fluorescence probe fabricated by encapsulating both gold (AuNCs) and copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). Obtained composite (AuCuNCs@MOF) was utilized for ratiometric determination of Tetracycline (Tcy) antibiotic. Under excitation at 400 nm, the AuCuNCs@MOF composite displayed two emission peaks at 520 and 650 nm which were originated from AuNCs and CuNCs, respectively. Upon the addition of Tcy, the red emission intensity of the nanoparticles at 615 nm was significantly decreased, while the green emission at 520 nm stayed almost constant which resulted in a clear fluorescence color change from red to green under a UV lamp. The logarithm of the fluorescence ratio against the concentration of Tcy exhibited a satisfactory linear relationship from 20 to 650 nM with a detection limit (LOD) of 4.8 nM. Current probe was applied for Tcy quantification in milk samples with superior results.

Electrochemically grown copper nanoclusters (CuNCs: < 3 nm) from single-atom catalysts have recently attracted intensive attention as electrocatalysts for CO2 and CO reduction reaction (CO2RR/CORR) because they exhibit distinct product selectivity compared with conventional Cu nanoparticles (typically larger than 10 nm). Herein, we conducted a detailed investigation into the size dependence of CuNCs on selectivity for multicarbon (C2+) production in CORR. These nanoclusters were electrochemically grown from single Cu atoms dispersed on covalent triazine frameworks (Cu-CTFs).

N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands possess the ability to stabilize metal-based nanomaterials for a broad range of applications. With respect to metal-hydride nanomaterials, however, carbenes are rare, which is surprising if one considers the importance of metal-hydride bonds across the chemical sciences. In this study, we introduce a bottom-up approach leveraging preexisting metal-metal m-center-n-electron (mc-ne) bonds to access a highly stable cyclic(alkyl)amino carbene (CAAC) copper-hydride nanocluster, [(CAAC)6Cu14H12][OTf]2 with superior stability compared to Stryker's reagent, a popular commercial phosphine-based copper hydride catalyst.

Pursuing nanomaterials with high fluorescence quantum yields is of great significance in the fields of bioimaging, medical diagnosis, and food safety monitoring. This work reports on orange-emitting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) integrated with blue-emitting nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs), which enables highly sensitive detection of S and Zn ions through an off-on ratiometric fluorescence method. The highly emissive Cu NCs was doped by Ce with a high quantum yield of 51.

Copper-based catalysts are the choice for producing multi-carbon products (C) during CO electroreduction (CORR), where the CuCu pair sites are proposed to be synergistic hotspots for C-C coupling. Maintaining their dynamic stability requires precise control over electron affinity and anion vacancy formation energy, posing significant challenges. Here, we present an in situ reconstruction strategy to create dynamically stable CuCuOCa motifs at the interface of exsolved Cu nanoclusters and CaCO nanospheres (Cu/CaCO).
