title: Rapid sonochemical synthesis of highly luminescent non-toxic AuNCs and Au@AgNCs and Cu (II) sensing.
abstract: Highly fluorescent and water-soluble gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) with near-infrared-emission and Au@AgNCs with yellow-emission were successfully prepared via a rapid sonochemical approach, and the as-prepared AuNCs could be applied in the determination of Cu(2+) with a wider detection range and lower detection limit.
