Synthesis of Ag nanoclusters by a pH-dependent etching method in aqueous solution

Abstract

We developed a pH-dependent etching method for the synthesis of stable fluorescent silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) in aqueous solution. The AgNCs emit at 530 nm when excited at 380 nm and can be used for Hg2+ detection with a low detection limit and high selectivity.
