The volume of the mixture was adjusted to 400 μl with water, then 200 μl H 2 O 2 (0.1 mmol L -1 ) was added. After the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 30 min, 20 μl H 2 SO 4 (v/v:20%) was added into the above mixture. The absorbance at 450 nm was recorded. The original concentrations of NaN 3, ascorbic acid, thiourea and SOD were 1 mmol L -1, 1 mmol L -1, 1 mmol L - and 20 U ml -1, respectively.

After the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 30 min. The absorbance at 652 nm was recorded. The generation of ROS was performed using documented protocols (Abo et al. 2011 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 133, 10629-10637; Chen et al. 2013 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 135, 11595-11602; Lee et al. 2009 Adv. Funct. Mater. 19(12), 1884-1890). Hydroxyl radical ( OH) was generated by the Fenton reaction between H 2 O 2 and ferrous sulphate at a molar concentration ratio of 10:1. Hypochlorite (ClO - ) and superoxide anion (O 2 - ) were obtained from NaOCl and KO 2, respectively. The singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) was produced by H 2 O 2 with NaClO. The absorbance was enhanced greatly at the presence of OH, ClO - as well as H 2 O 2.
