To ensure these nano-sized particles precipitated thoroughly at 10000 rpm for 10 min,
the Stokes equation was a trial. Centrifugation time of these nano-sized particles was
calculated under 10000 rpm with the high speed centrifuge Model CT14D Tabletop
(Techcomp Shanghai Co., Ltd.). The results are shown as follows.

Note: The radius of nanoparticles r is referred to Figure S1.
According to the Stokes equation, 10 min is more enough to most of these nanoparticles
to separate from water. Despite of the higher viscosity and the different density of simulated
biological fluids, the centrifugation time is much less than the theory value considering to the
aggregation effect which is a well-known phenomenon in nano-sized particles’ suspension. In
fact, 5 ml 10 mg L-1 nCuO suspension is separated entirely under 10000 rpm for 5 min with
the weak Cu2+ signal of the acidified supernatant measured by ICP-OES.
