Fluorescent silver nanoclusters modified with lipoic acid
Product Name
Name: Fluorescent silver nanoclusters modified with lipoic acid
Product Overview
Silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) are ultra small nanoparticles composed of several to dozens of silver atoms, with sizes close to the Fermi wavelength of electrons, exhibiting unique molecular like properties such as strong fluorescence. Silver nanoclusters have small size, low toxicity, excellent photostability, large Stokes shift, and good biocompatibility. Lipoic acid (also known as octanoic acid) serves as a ligand in the synthesis of silver nanoclusters, mainly playing a role in stabilizing and protecting the silver nanoclusters. Ligands bind to silver atoms through their specific chemical structures, forming stable nanocluster structures that affect the physical and chemical properties of the clusters, such as fluorescence performance, catalytic activity, and biocompatibility. They have shown potential applications in various fields such as chemical analysis, biosensing, catalysis, medicine, and biological imaging.
