title: Molecular crowding-facilitated synthesis of DNA-templated Ag nanoclusters with enhanced fluorescence emission and quantum yield.
abstract: Molecular crowding was found to significantly facilitate synthesis of DNA-templated Ag nanoclusters, which offered an effective and general strategy for preparation of Ag nanoclusters with improved fluorescence emission and quantum yield.
