摘要

Abstract

Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are promising luminescent nanomaterials due to their outstanding optical properties. However

their relatively low quantum yields and environment-dependent photoluminescence properties have limited their biological applications. To address these problems

we developed a novel strategy to prepare chitosan oligosaccharide lactate (Chi)-functionalized Au NCs (Au NCs@Chi)

which exhibited emission with enhanced quantum yield and elongated emission lifetime as compared to the Au NCs

as well as exhibited environment-independent photoluminescence properties. In addition

utilizing the free amino groups of Chi onto Au NCs@Chi

we designed a FRET-based sensing platform for the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H

S). The Au

NCs and the specific H

S-sensitive merocyanine compound were respectively employed as an energy donor and acceptor in the platform. The addition of H

S induced changes in the emission profile and luminescence lifetime of the platform with high sensitivity and selectivity. Utilization of the platform was demonstrated to detect exogenous and endogenous H

in vitro

and

in vivo

through wavelength-ratiometric and time-resolved luminescence imaging (TLI). Compared to previously reported luminescent molecules

the platform was less affected by experimental conditions and showed minimized autofluorescence interference and improved accuracy of detection.
