Abstract:
A novel luminescent probe for trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) was constructed based on luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) between upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and triangular silver nanoprisms (AgNPR). The specific etching of AgNPR by TCAA effectively suppressed LRET, restored UCNPs luminescence, and enabled highly selective and sensitive detection.
