Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have attracted intense attention due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. In this work, a series of water-stable CsPb(Br/I)PNCs fluorescent probes were prepared using an anion exchange method. It was found that the PNCs probes could be used to detect ascorbic acid (AA) in water, and interestingly, the FL spectra of the PNCs probes can be adjusted by controlling the concentration of KI in anion exchange to improve the detection selectivity of AA. The high sensitivity and selectivity make CsPb(Br/I)PNCs an ideal material for AA sensing. The concentration of AA can be linearly measured in the range from 0.01 to 50M, with a detection limit of 4.2 nM. The reason for the enhanced FL of CsPb(Br/I)PNCs was studied, and it is considered that AA causes the aggregation of CsPb(Br/I)PNCs. This strategy of improving the selectivity of the probe to the substrate by adjusting the spectrum will significantly expand the application of PNCs in the field of analysis and detection.

Background: Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) characterized by abnormalities on MRI that do not manifest as clinical symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) but raise suspicion for MS. Considering that RIS often evolves into MS, various diagnostic criteria have been established, and each suggested biomarker warrants thorough consideration and discussion. In this study, metabolomic profiling of body fluids of patients who were being followed up with a pre-diagnosis of RIS or MS and had not yet received any treatment was conducted.

The performance of nanomaterials is significantly determined by the interfacial microenvironment, in which a surfactant plays an essential role as the adsorbent, but its involvement in the interfacial reaction is often overlooked. Here, it was discovered that citrate and ascorbic acid, the two primarily used surfactants for colloidal gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), can spontaneously undergo catalytic reaction with trace-level nitrogenous residue under ambient environment to form oxime, which is subsequently cleaved to generate CN or a compound containing the -CN group. Such a catalytic reaction shows wide universality in both reactants, including various carbonaceous and nitrogenous sources, and metal catalysts, including Au, Ag, Fe, Cu, Ni, Pt, and Pd NPs.
