A controlled method to prepare glutathione-protected bimetallic gold-platinum nanoclusters (Au-PtNCs) has been established. The Au-PtNCs show either strong red (625 nm) or near-infrared (NIR, 805 nm) emission. Further characterizations indicated that the average particle size grows from 1.42 to 1.78 nm, the larger particles being responsible for the redshift of emission. The NIR emitted Au-PtNCs are applied as a novel ratiometric probe of Ag(I), which induces a new emission peak at ~635 nm and quenches the initial emission gradually. The determination shows very high selectivity toward Ag(I) among other metal ions. A limit of determination (10 nM) and the linear range (0.10 to 15 μM) are achieved, which is much lower than the EPA mandate of 0.46 μM for Ag(I) in drinking water. The response mechanism is attributed to the fact that the added Ag(I) has been reduced by the core of Au-PtNCs and deposited on the surface, which induces new fluorescence emission around 635 nm. In addition, the ratiometric method is feasible for Ag(I) determination in serum serum with good recovery (between 98.3% and 102.0%, n = 3), showing very high application potential. The present study provides a controlled method to prepare Au-PtNCs with strong red and NIR emission and supplies a novel NIR ratiometric probe of Ag(I). Schematic presentation of the controlled preparation of glutathione-protected bimetallic gold-platinum nanoclusters (Au-PtNCs) with either red or near-infrared (NIR) emission, and application in ratiometric detection of Ag(I) with high selectivity and sensitivity.

In recent years, numerous colorimetric methods have been developed for the detection of silver ions (Ag), yet there remains a need for a simple, sensitive, real-time and quantitative sensing platform. Herein, TiCT MXene nanoribbons (TiCTNRs) were utilized as the carrier material, and gold@platinum (Au@Pt) bimetallic nanoparticles were decorated onto the TiCTNR surface, for the first time, a facile self-reduction method. The resulting Au@Pt-TiCTNR nanohybrid exhibited excellent catalytic activity, facilitating the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, a colorless substrate, to generate a blue product (oxTMB), displaying prominent peroxidase-like activity.

Bimetallic nanozymes exhibited multi-enzyme activities, but glutathione (GSH) overexpression and weak catalytic capability restricted their catalytic therapeutic performance. Thus, this study developed a smart nanozyme (AuPt@MnO) with a core-shell structure by coating manganese dioxide (MnO) on the gold-platinum (AuPt) nanozyme (AuPt@MnO) surface to enhance catalytic therapy. In this nanozyme, AuPt possessed triple-enzyme activities, i.

Bimetallic nanomaterials have generated significant interest across diverse scientific disciplines, due to their unique and tunable properties arising from the synergistic combination of two distinct metallic elements. This study presents a novel approach for synthesizing branched gold-platinum nanoparticles by utilizing poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)-stabilized branched gold nanoparticles, with a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) response of around 1000 nm, as a template for platinum deposition. This approach allows precise control over nanoparticle size, the LSPR band, and the branching degree at an ambient temperature, without the need for high temperatures or organic solvents.
