Acrylamide is widely present in many fried and baked foods, that has been proved as potentially carcinogenic to humans. In this work, a novel biosensor using core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (CSUCNPs) with aptamer as recognized element was designed for the determination of acrylamide. The principle of this work was based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process from CSUCNPs to silver nanoclusters (AgNCs). Whereas the binding between acrylamide and the aptamer disturbed the DNA structure and inhibited the synthesis of AgNCs, which induced a higher fluorescence intensity. Under the optimal conditions, a low limit of detection (LOD) was calculated as 1.13 nM in the range of 1-10 nM. This biosensor was further applied in the spiked food samples to validate the applicability that recoveries were at the range of 78.52-117.09% with a relative standard deviation of 1.54-10.46%. The approach was compared with the standard HPLC method in great agreement (P > 0.05).

The structural isomerism of atomically precise nanoclusters provides a preeminent theoretical model to investigate the structure-property relationships. Herein, we synthesized three bowl-like polyoxometalate (POM)-encapsulated Ag nanoclusters (denoted as {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-1, {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-1a, and {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-2) via a facile one-pot solvothermal approach. Among them, for the first time, an unprecedented isomeric {Ag14}10+ nanoclusters are obtained in polyoxoanions {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-1 and {Ag14(Sb3W30)2}-2, which should be probably induced by the different distribution of coordinating O atoms in two isomeric bowl-like {Sb3W30} ligands.

Detecting β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) with high sensitivity and selectivity is an urgent requirement due to nearly 80% of milk anaphylaxis, such as respiratory tract, skin urticaria, and gastrointestinal disorders, being caused by β-Lg. An ultrasensitive β-Lg electrochemical aptasensor utilizing core-satellite gold nanoparticle@silver nanocluster (AuNPs@AgNCs) nanohybrids as electrocatalysts was developed. First, β-Lg aptamer was anchored on gold electrodes and AuNPs to obtain high selectivity.

Bacterial contamination is a very serious health and environmental problem, with the main source of toxicity being lipopolysaccharides in the cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, the development of effective analytical methods is crucial for the detection of lipopolysaccharide content. This work facilitates the efficient generation of precisely adjustable dual-mode signals for LPS detection in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) by inducing anisotropic morphological evolution of Au@Ag nanocubes (Au@AgNCs) through poly-cytosine (poly-C) DNA.

Palladium-doped silver nanoclusters (NCs) have been highlighted for their unique physicochemical properties and potential applications in catalysis, optics, and electronics. Anion-directed synthesis offers a powerful route to control the morphology and properties of these NCs. Herein, we report a novel Pd-doped Ag NC, [Pd(H)Ag(S){SP(OPr)}] (), synthesized through the inclusion of sulfide and hydride anions.

Gold-silver synergism has been well documented in many scientific works dealing with luminescent nanostructures that are exploitable in biomedical and environmental application. Frequently, the ratio of Au : Ag in synthetic mixtures was varied to influence the extent of Au-Ag synergism of the resulting luminescent gold-silver nanoclusters (GSNCs). However, in our approach, a new step, maturing under differing conditions using the same Au : Ag ratio (5 : 1), has been investigated systematically for the very first time.
