Abstract:
A FRET system was built for ratiometric sensing of Hg(2+) in water with multilayered silica nanoparticles as the scaffold. This architecture ensures the control over the location of both donor and acceptor and their separation distance within nanoparticles, affording higher energy transfer efficiency and higher signal-to-background ratio for particle-based sensing.
