Abstract
A facile one-pot method for synthesis of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) has been developed. The formation of BSA-AuNCs took only 30 s under mild conditions. BSA-AuNCs exhibited strong orange-yellow fluorescence, and the excitation and emission peaks were at 370 nm and 564 nm, respectively. In the process of forming BSA-AuNCs, the molecular chain of BSA has not been destroyed. Moreover, there were a large number of Au cations on the surface of BSA-AuNCs, which had strong oxidizing abilities. The reason for the ultrabright fluorescence of BSA-AuNCs was attributed to the Au(0)@Au(I)@Au(III)-ligand structure on the surface of BSA. In order to evaluate the fluorescence performance of BSA-AuNCs, BSA-AuNCs was used as a probe, realizing the sensitive and selective determination of glutathione (GSH) in a wide linear range of 0.01-0.48 μM and a detection limit of 3.3 nM. The proposed method not only offers a brand-new scheme for synthesizing BSA-AuNCs, but also provides a platform for studying the interaction between metal core and proteins. A facile one-pot method to synthesize ultrabright fluorescent BSA-AuNCs in tens of seconds has been introduced by mixing BSA suspension, KSCN, and HAuCl4. The as-prepared BSA-AuNCs showed intensive orange-yellow fluorescence under a UV lamp (365 nm), and BSA still keeps the integral molecular chains during the whole synthesis process. Moreover, the as-prepared BSA-AuNCs have realized the sensitive and selective detection of glutathione (GSH) in a wide linear range of 0.01-0.48 μM and a detection limit of 3.3 nM.

Abstract
Three manganese oxide catalysts (MnOx) were synthesized via a simple method, and then they were introduced into the non-thermal plasma (NTP) system for benzene removal. The XRD and EXAFS results showed the MnOx were mainly in the Mn3O4 phase, and from the analysis of N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, we knew the MnOx calcined at 250 °C (Mn250) had the largest surface area of 274.5 m2 g-1. Besides, Mn250 also exerted higher benzene adsorption capacity (0.430 mmol g-1) according to C6H6-TPD. O2-TPD indicated that Mn250 showed better oxygen mobility than Mn300. Moreover, by analyzing XPS results, it revealed that Mn250 exhibited rich abundant of surface adsorbed oxygen species (Oads) and moderate ratio of Mn4+/Mn3+, and the reducibility temperature was also the lowest among all the MnOx catalysts drawn by H2-TPR profiles. As a result, Mn250 combined with NTP could remove 96.9% of benzene at a low input power of 3 W (benzene concentration 200 ppm, and GHSV 60,000 mL gcat.-1 h-1), performing the best catalytic activity among the three catalysts and plasma only. Furthermore, the "NTP + Mn250" system also produced the highest CO2 concentration and lowest CO concentration in downstream, and the residual O3 after catalytic reaction was also the lowest, that is to say, the synergistic effect between NTP and Mn250 was more effective than other catalysts in benzene removal.
