I'm writing a scientific paper, using \documentclass[aps,prl,...]{revtex4-1} with supplemental Material. The Supplemental Material is an extra tex file and I want that the references there to be numbered like [S1],[S2],…
I'm using \bibliographystyle{apsrev4-1}.
Is there any way doing it like this?

Using the 'aps' option for a revtex4-1 documentclass, the following solution allows to keep all other particularities of the aps bibliographic style unchanged. Notably, it is possible to use a modified version of apsrev4-1.bst but this will probably affect the other behaviours. Here we will simply overwrite the parameters passed to apsrev4-1.bst style file.
Originally, the output of the RevTex package without 'longbibliography' will be
Now when you add the 'longbibliography' option you get this
with the awful mix of initials and full first names.
Actually the parameters for building the bibliography are stored in an extension of the .bib file called [Your file]Notes.bib of your document folder. To overwrite its output, add into your preamble, after the calls to packages,
\AtBeginDocument{%
\newwrite\bibnotes
\def\bibnotesext{Notes.bib}
\immediate\openout\bibnotes=\jobname\bibnotesext
\immediate\write\bibnotes{@CONTROL{REVTEX41Control}}
\immediate\write\bibnotes{@CONTROL{%
apsrev41Control,author="08",editor="1",pages="1",title="0",year="1"}}
\if@filesw
\immediate\write\@auxout{\string\citation{apsrev41Control}}%
\fi
}%
This will replace the text generated at the time of building the file. You can set manually all parameters in these lines of code. Here author="08" stands for "initials for authors". The integer value used for authors is actually encoded in a sum of powers of two, each one corresponding to a different parameter. title="0" allows the production of the article titles. Your output now looks like this
Note that the use of 'longbibliography' option is now ineffective but replaced by the manual values.
Beyond just initials, here is the list of all authors parameters as found in apsrev4-1.bst
'control.author.jnrlst swap$ duplicate$ #64 control.decode
'control.author.dotless swap$ duplicate$ #32 control.decode
'control.author.nospace swap$ duplicate$ #16 control.decode
'control.author.initials swap$ duplicate$ #8 control.decode
'control.author.nocomma swap$ duplicate$ #4 control.decode
'control.author.first swap$ duplicate$ #2 control.decode
'control.author.reversed swap$ duplicate$ #1 control.decode
so for example use 16+8+1=25 to reverse order without spaces and use of initials. You need to set editor="0" to allow full control over author format. The parameter entered for author="HH" is actually an hexdecimal value. This means that for the previous example you have to set author="19"
I did it not in a perfect way, but it will probably work:
\def\bibsection{}
% This will remove the section title, so the line will be removed
\centerline{ \textbf{\large Supplementary References } }
% Add the reference section title as: Supplementary References
% You can put it in another style you need
\bigbreak
% create some space

As REVTeX uses
natbib, you can use the mechanisms provided by that package to make this change(I do something similar in
achemso).
