ABSTRACT

This work presents a significant advancement in the development of highly efficient NIR-emissive materials. By strategically doping gold nanoclusters with copper, the researchers achieved a near-unity PLQY in the NIR region at room temperature. The comprehensive analysis of structures, photophysical properties, and excited-state dynamics pro vides valuable insights into the mechanisms driving this enhanced luminescence. The findings highlight the potential of these nanoclusters for applications in biological imaging and optical communication. However, challenges such as ensuring long-term stability, scalable syn thesis, and seamless integration into existing technologies must be addressed, while future exploration of other dopants and synthetic stra tegies could further enhance their optical properties, paving the way for exciting advancements in nanomaterials.
