Abstract	Copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) have become promising nanomaterials due to their high electronic conductivity and low cost. This study reports the fast synthesis of CuNCs through the use of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) additive and their application for the fluorescent detection of Hg2+ in water samples. Cu2+ was rapidly reduced into Cu0 in the presence of H2O2 and bovine serum albumin (BSA), further leading to the production of CuNCs. Under optimized conditions, the synthesis needs 1 h to achieve a high conversion rate of Cu2+ (more than 99%). In the resulting CuNCs, no Cu2+ can be found by the sodium sulfide test. Research on resonance light scattering, synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy reveals that H2O2 may play two important roles in the synthesis of CuNCs. One role as a ligand is to combine with BSA–Cu complex to form BSA–Cu–H2O2 complex, which diminishes the reduction potential of Cu2+ and leads to the fast reduction of Cu2+ into Cu0. Another role as an oxidizing agent is to partly destroy disulfide bonds in BSA, which increases the degree of exposure of free amino groups. This results in an enhanced reduction ability of BSA towards Cu2+. Interestingly, the as-prepared CuNCs display better fluorescence intensity and optical stability when compared with the CuNCs prepared by the conventional method. The nanosensor based on the CuNCs was developed for the rapid, reliable, sensitive and selective sensing of Hg2+ with a detection limit of 4.7 × 10−12 M (S/N = 3) and a dynamic range of 1 × 10−5−1 × 10−11 M. It has been successfully used for the detection of Hg2+ in water samples.
