Research Progress in Preparation,Aggregation Induced Fluorescence Enhancement Properties and Application of Copper Nanoclusters
Copper nanoclusters not only have the specificity of metal nanoclusters,but also have the advantages of cheap precursors,so they have wide application prospects.The preparation methods of copper nanoclusters including ligand-assisted method,template method,microwave method,electrochemical method and etching method are reviewed.The enhancement properties of fluorescence emission induced by aggregation of copper nanoclusters were reviewed in terms of ion induced aggregation,pH induced aggregation,assembly induced aggregation and solvent induced aggregation.The applications of copper nanoclusters in ion detection,small molecule detection,enzyme activity detection,biomacromolecule detection and bioimaging were reviewed.The future development directions in preparation,performance optimization and applications of copper nanoclusters were also prospected.
