Water-soluble, highly stable fluorescent Ag nanoclusters have been synthesized using a novel core/shell solid polymer (PMMA/PMMA-PMAA) nanoparticles as a novel template. The photoluminescence, ultraviolet-visible absorption, X-ray photoelectron (XPS), laser desorption time of flight mass spectroscopies (LDI-ToF-MS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were carried out to characterize the optical properties and morphologies of Ag nanoclusters. The quantum yield of Ag nanoclusters reached 6% and the lifetime of Ag nanoclusters was 0.460 ns. Because of the protective structure of three-dimensional network of the polymer template, the Ag nanoclusters have high stability. And this highly stable fluorescent Ag nanoclusters have successfully been applied for bioimaging.
已使用新型核/壳固态聚合物(PMMA/PMMA-PMAA)纳米颗粒作为新型模板合成了水溶性、高稳定性的荧光 Ag 纳米团簇。通过光致发光、紫外-可见吸收、X 射线光电子能谱(XPS)、激光解吸飞行时间质谱(LDI-ToF-MS)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)对 Ag 纳米团簇的光学性质和形态进行了表征。Ag 纳米团簇的量子产率达到了 6%,Ag 纳米团簇的寿命为 0.460 ns。由于聚合物模板的三维网络的保护结构,Ag 纳米团簇具有高稳定性。这种高稳定性的荧光 Ag 纳米团簇已成功应用于生物成像。
