In this paper, fluorescent hollow silica nanoparticles (FHSNs) have been used for the detection of hypochlorite by monitoring fluorescence intensity changes. The fluorescent and sensing properties of the FHSNs were dramatically improved compared to those of the corresponding free probes. With unique hollow structure and strong fluorescence, the FHSNs have potential applications in the fields of biology and medicine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
