Introducing novel catalysts is essential for developing chemiluminescence (CL) systems that exhibit sustained and robust emission. Traditional Luminol-HO systems typically feature flash-type CL emission. In this study, we discovered that the porous material HKUST-1 can induce a long-lasting and intense CL emission when combined with Luminol-HO. This long-term emission signal can be directly detected by the smartphone. By changing the calcination temperature, a series of microporous and hierarchically porous HKUST-1 materials were prepared as catalysts to adjust the kinetic characteristics of the CL signal of Luminol-HO system from flash-type to glow-type. A systematic investigation into the influence of the central metal and ligand, aperture, and particle size of HKUST-1 on the CL kinetic properties revealed that the pore structure has the most pronounced impact on the dynamics of the Luminol-HO CL reaction. Capitalizing on the intense emission of the HKUST-1-catalyzed Luminol-HO system, we established a CL sandwich immunoassay strategy for concanavalin A (ConA), demonstrating good linearity and low detection limit. This research presents a significant endeavor in modulating the dynamics of CL signal emissions.

Highly ordered ultrathin nanosheets (NSs) of Au(I)-Cys were fabricated through aggregation-induced supramolecular self-assembly triggered by an extended agitation in an alkaline environment. The synthesized Au(I)-Cys NSs exhibited intense luminescence and exceptional chirality. Remarkably, additions of biothiols to Au(I)-Cys NSs have significantly enhanced their luminescence emission, and circular dichroism properties coupled with morphological modulations into nanoflowers, nanodendrites, or closely packed aggregates.

Objective: In-beam positron emission tomography (PET) has important development prospects in real-time monitoring of proton therapy. However, in the beam-on operation, the high bursts of radiation events pose challenges to the performance of the PET system.
Approach: In this study, we developed a dual-head in-beam PET system for proton therapy monitoring and evaluated its performance.

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are promising materials that not only are atomically thin but also have direct bandgaps, making them highly regarded in optics and optoelectronics. However, their photoluminescence exhibits almost random polarization at room temperature. The emission is also omnidirectional and weak due to the low quantum yield.

A method to determine electron temperature within a plasma by the spectral analysis of atomic tungsten emission has been explored. The technique was applied to a post-discharge region immediately following a high voltage nanosecond pulsed discharge in air with tungsten electrodes. Atomic tungsten lines are readily observed in the weak emission spectrum within the post-discharge region for many microseconds.
