(Example) Figure 5 As shown, UiO-66@Ag-Au- D / L -Cys has a thermal decomposition temperature of 450℃, indicating that UiO-66@Ag-Au- D / L -Cys composites exhibit high thermal stability.

[0034] Nonlinear absorption characteristic test In a glass vial, 3.5 g of anisole was added to 597 mg of PMMA and stirred at 70°C until completely dissolved, yielding solution A. 3 mg of the test sample was added to another glass vial containing 1 g of anisole and ultrasonically stirred until uniformly dispersed, yielding solution B. Solution B was added dropwise to solution A and stirred for 5 hours to form a homogeneous mixture. The mixed solution was then dropped onto a flat glass mold covered with a PET protective film. The flat glass mold was placed horizontally to allow the solvent to evaporate naturally until the mixture stopped flowing. The flat glass mold was then transferred to an oven and heated at 80°C for 4 hours to remove residual solvent from the film. After cooling, the resulting film was peeled off from the flat glass mold to obtain an optical-grade PMMA composite film containing 0.5 wt% of the target sample. The test samples were UiO-66@Ag-Au- D -Cys (prepared in Example 1), UiO-66@Ag-Au- L -Cys (prepared in Example 2), UiO-66@Ag-Au-Cys (prepared in Comparative Example 1), UiO-66 (prepared in step (1) of Example 1), Ag-Au- D -Cys (prepared in Comparative Example 2), Ag-Au- L -Cys (prepared in Comparative Example 3), Ag-Au-Cys (prepared in Comparative Example 4).

[0035] An optical-grade PMMA composite film containing 0.5 wt% of the target sample was placed on a stage. Picosecond Z-scan methods were used for open-aperture and closed-aperture Z-scan tests, and the data were fitted. Test conditions included: laser output wavelength of 532 nm, pulse width of 21 ps (FWHM), convex lens focal length of 300 mm, and laser energy at the focal point controlled within the range of 1.4–1.6 μJ. To avoid heat buildup in the sample, the repetition frequency was set to 10 Hz.

[0036] Figure 6 Z-scan curves of different samples under 532nm wavelength picosecond laser: (a) Z-scan curve with opening, (b) Z-scan curve with closing. Figure 6 (a) and Figure 6 (b) shows that different samples β The values ​​of n and n2 are as follows: UiO-66@Ag-Au- D -Cys β The value is 1.4 × 10 -10 mW -1 The value of n² is 2.2 × 10⁻⁶. -17 m 2 W -1 ; UiO-66@Ag-Au- L -Cys β The value is 1.44 × 10 -10 mW -1 The value of n² is 2.28 × 10⁻⁶. -17 m 2 W -1 ; UiO-66@Ag-Au-Cys β The value is 1.28 × 10 -10 mW -1 The value of n² is 2.0 × 10⁻⁶. -17 m 2 W -1 ; UiO-66 β The value is -3.3 × 10 -11 mW -1 The value of n² is -7 × 10 -18 m 2 W -1 ; Ag-Au- D -Cys β The value is 7.4 × 10 -11 mW -1 The value of n² is 1.1 × 10⁻⁶. -17 m 2 W -1 ; Ag-Au- L -Cys β The value is 7.8 × 10 -11 mW -1 The value of n² is 1.18 × 10⁻⁶. -17 m 2 W -1 ; Ag-Au-Cys β The value is 6.0 × 10 -11 mW -1 The value of n² is 8.5 × 10⁻⁶. -18 m 2 W -1 .

[0037] Since PMMA films exhibit no third-order nonlinear optical response, it is determined that the third-order nonlinearity at 532 nm laser wavelength is not due to the film substrate, but rather originates from the sample itself. UiO-66 displays saturated absorption response and self-defocusing refraction signal under 532 nm picosecond laser light. Ag-Au-Cys and Ag-Au- D -Cys and Ag-Au- L -Cys both exhibit anti-saturation absorption and self-focusing refractive signals; Ag-Au- D / L Loading UiO-66 with both Ag-Au-Cys and Ag-Au-Cys resulted in composite materials exhibiting enhanced anti-saturation absorption and self-focusing refractive signals. Furthermore, UiO-66@Ag-Au-Cys... D / L -Cys exhibits stronger antisaturation absorption and self-focusing refraction signal than UiO-66@Ag-Au-Cys.
