Facile Synthesis and Characterization of Au Nanoclusters-Silica Fluorescent Composite Nanospheres

We developed a novel method for the synthesis of Au nanoclusters (NCs) silica fluorescent composite nanospheres by mixing the as-prepared bovine serum albumin (BSA) protected Au NCs with amino-modified silica spheres in acetate buffer solution. The products were characterized by high-resolution tran...
