Abstract:
In response to the energy crisis and global warming caused by the massive consumption of fossil resources, researchers around the world are exploring new renewable resources to achieve sustainable development in future development. Based on this topic, renewable biomass resources from nature are expected to play an important role in advancing low-carbon direction. In this work, renewable resources based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) compound of Sucrose (Suc) via Clusteroluminescence (CL) mechanism was found. Furthermore, since the light activates Light+Suc-Fe3+ (L + Suc-Fe3+) to produce singlet oxygen (1O2) and oxygen (O2) through a Fenton-like reaction to exert photodynamic therapy (PDT) antibacterial function. Due to its good water solubility and biocompatibility, it can be as biosensor for monitoring of H2S concentration in fruit during storage.
