Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) with atomic precision have huge application potentials in chemo/bio sensing, catalysis, and energy conversion. However, a precise atomic control of Au NCs still remains a great challenge. Herein, we developed a facile one-pot and top-down strategy to synthesize eight-atom numbered Au NCs (Au8 NCs), aiming to understand their fundamental physicochemical properties and explore their potential applications. The etching of gold nanoparticles by their encapsulated hyperbranched polyethyleneimine was significantly promoted by a newly proposed catalyst, hydrogen peroxide, which gave rise to brightly blue-emitting Au8 NCs (quantum yield = 28.8%). The as-prepared Au8 NCs could sense hemoglobin with a detection limit of 5.0 nM through the combination of Fenton reaction and fluorescence resonance energy transfer. And the sensing behaviour is unaffected by the presence of various interferents such as proteins, small molecules, anions, and metal ions. In addition, a hemoglobin evaluation in blood samples with small relative standard deviations and satisfied recoveries was achieved using the proposed Au8 NC nanoprobes.
