Comparative studies on electrogenerated chemiluminescence of luminol on gold nanoparticle modified electrodes

Comparative studies on the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) behavior of luminol on various electrodes modified with gold nanoparticles of different size were carried out in neutral solution by conventional cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results demonstrated that the gold nanoparticle modified electrodes could generate strong luminol ECL in neutral pH conditions. The catalytic performance of gold nanoparticle modified electrodes on luminol ECL depended not only on the gold nanoparticles but also on the substrate. Gold electrode and glassy carbon electrode were the most suitable substrates for the self-assembly of gold nanoparticles. Moreover, the gold nanoparticle modified gold and glassy carbon electrode had satisfying stability and reproducibility and did not need tedious pretreatment of electrode surface before each measurement. It was also found that luminol ECL behavior depended on the size of gold nanoparticles. The most intense ECL signals were obtained on a 16-nm-diameter gold nanoparticle modified electrode. The modified electrode prepared by the self-assembly method exhibited much better catalytic effect on luminol ECL than that prepared by the electrically deposited method. The ECL behavior of luminol on a gold nanoparticle self-assembled gold electrode was also investigated by other transient-state electrochemical techniques, such as chronoamperometry, differential pulse voltammetry, normal pulse voltammetry, and square wave voltammetry. The strongest ECL intensity was obtained under square wave voltammetric condition.     

Synthesis, characterization, and electrochemiluminescence of luminol-reduced gold nanoparticles and their application in a hydrogen peroxide sensor

It was found that chloroauric acid (HAuCl(4)) could be directly reduced by the luminescent reagent luminol in aqueous solution to form gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), the size of which depended on the amount of luminol. The morphology and surface state of as-prepared AuNPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, UV/visible spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. All results indicated that residual luminol and its oxidation product 3-aminophthalate coexisted on the surface of AuNPs through the weak covalent interaction between gold and nitrogen atoms in their amino groups. Subsequently, a luminol-capped AuNP-modified electrode was fabricated by the immobilization of AuNPs on a gold electrode by virtue of cysteine molecules and then immersion in a luminol solution. The modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The as-prepared modified electrode exhibited an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) response in alkaline aqueous solution under a double-step potential. H2O2 was found to enhance the ECL. On this basis, an ECL sensor for the detection of H2O2 was developed. The method is simple, fast, and reagent free. It is applicable to the determination of H2O2 in the range of 3x10(-7)-1x10(-3) mol L(-1) with a detection limit of 1x10(-7) mol L(-1) (S/N=3).

The enhanced electrochemiluminescence of luminol on the nickel phthalocyanine modified electrode

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with nickel(II) tetrasulfophthalocyanine (NiTSPc) and Nafion was used for the investigation of the catalytic oxidation of luminol. The modified electrode was found to much more effectively improve the emission of electrochemiluminescence(ECL) of luminol in a solution containing hydrogen peroxide. The enhanced ECL signal corresponded to the catalytic oxidation of both luminol and H(2)O(2) by NiTSPc. Attached Ni(II) on GCE was oxidised to Ni(III) and then used as the catalyst for the chemiluminescence of luminol. The enhanced stability of the ECL signal with Nafion would mainly result from the prevention of the dissolution of NiTSPc and the adsorption of the oxidation product of luminol on the electrode surface. The proposed method enables a detection limit for luminal of 6.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) to be achieved in the presence of H(2)O(2) in the neutral solution. The enhanced ECL intensity had a linear relationship with the concentration of luminol in the range of 1.0 x 10(-7)-8.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1).

Enhanced electrochemiluminescence employed for the selective detection of methyl parathion based on a zirconia nanoparticle film modified electrode

A simple, rapid and sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was proposed for direct measurements of methyl parathion (MP) based on the strong affinity of a nano zirconia particles (ZrO(2) NPs) modified film on the electrode to the phosphoric group. ZrO(2) NPs, which could provide a larger absorption area to immobilize organophosphorus, was firstly modified on the glassy carbon electrode surface to prepare the proposed ECL sensor (ZrO(2)/GC). Subsequently, the ZrO(2)/GC electrode was scanned from -0.8 to +0.6 V to obtain the background signal at 0.44 V in a luminol/KCl solution. Then, a certain concentration of MP was added to an aqueous solution for 240 s, which was absorbed onto the ZrO(2)/GC electrode surface. Moreover, the MP absorbed on the surface of the ZrO(2)/GC electrode enhanced the ECL signal of luminol in the luminol/KCl solution, which increased with the concentration of MP. As a result, a novel ECL sensor was obtained in a luminol/KCl solution. The MP was determined in the range of from 3.8 × 10(-11) to 3.8 × 10(-6) mol L(-1), with a low detection limit of 1.27 × 10(-11) mol L(-1) (S/N = 3). The proposed ECL sensor performance for MP detection will open a new field in the application of rapid and screen detection of ultra-trace amounts of organ phosphorus pesticides (OPs) of vegetables used in farm markets.     

Electrochemiluminescent detection of the hybridization of oligonucleotides using an electrode modified with nanocomposite of carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles

We report on an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensing technique for the detection of the hybridization between oligonucleotides. A glassy carbon electrode was first functionalized with a composite prepared from gold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes, and a sensor was then constructed by immobilizing the probing oligonucleotide. The ECL of luminol acts as the sensing signal. It is quenched, to a different degree, by the hybridized double strands of the oligonucleotide depending on the match status. The slope of the ECL response as a function of the status of hybridization drops with increasingly matched hybridization. The response is attributed to the interaction between luminol and the strands of oligomers, and also related to the reduction of reactive oxygen species.

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence from CdS nanotubes and its sensing application in aqueous solution

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of CdS nanotubes in aqueous solution and its sensing application were studied by entrapping the CdS nanotubes in carbon paste electrode. Two ECL peaks were observed at −0.9 V (ECL-1) and −1.2 V (ECL-2), respectively, when the potential was cycled between 0 and −1.6 V. The electrochemically reduced nanocrystal species of CdS nanotubes could collide with the oxidized species in an annihilation process to produce the peak of ECL-1. The electron-transfer reaction between the reduced CdS nanocrystal species and oxidant coreactants such as S₂O₈²⁻, H₂O₂, and reduced dissolved oxygen led to the appearance of the ECL-2 peak. Based on the enhancing effect of H₂O₂ on ECL-2 intensity, a novel CdS ECL sensor was developed for H₂O₂ detection. The sensor exhibited a detection limit of 0.1 μM and a linear range from 0.5 μM to 0.01 mM. The relative standard deviations of five replicate determinations of 5 μM H₂O₂ was 2.6%. In addition, the ECL spectrum in aqueous solution also exhibited two peaks at 500 and 640 nm, respectively.     

Co-immobilization of polymeric luminol,iron(II) tris(5-aminophenanthroline) and glucose oxidase at an electrode surface,and its application as a glucose optrode

The anodic polymerization of 3-aminophthalhydrazide (luminol) and iron(II) tris 5-aminophenanthroline (Fe(phen-NH2)3(2+)) has been reported in this paper. A bilayer electrode was developed based on these polymers and the ITO conductive glass (denoted ITO[Fe(phen-NH2)3(2+)]luminol electrode). This electrode emitted light (lambdaem: 430 nm) as it was brought into contact with H2O2. At pH 10, the resulting electrochemiluminescence (ECL) showed a linear relationship with the concentration of H2O2 in the range of 10 microM(-1) mM. This bilayer electrode also showed an application potential for the detection of glucose after being further modified with glucose oxidase (denoted ITO[Fe(phen-NH2)3(2+)]luminol]GOx electrode). Although the resulting ECL decayed more rapidly in concentrated glucose solutions (e.g., I M) because of the consumption of luminol during use, the decay became less severe in diluted glucose solutions (e.g., 10 mM). According to the flow injection analysis, a linear relationship existed between the ECL and the concentration of glucose from 10(-5)-10(-3) M at pH 9. The detection limit could reach a level of 5 x 10(-5) M at this pH.     

A method to determine quercetin by enhanced luminol electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) and quercetin autoxidation

Quercetin greatly enhanced luminol electrochemiluminescence of quercetin in alkaline solution. When the concentration of luminol was 0.1 mol L(-1), the detection limit for quercetin was 2.0x10(-8) mol L(-1) with a linear range from 1.0x10(-7) to 2x10(-5) mol L(-1). The pH and buffer substantially affected ECL intensity. Quercetin was autoxidized in alkaline aqueous solution. The rate of autoxidation of quercetin in various pH buffers and borate concentrations were measured. Borate was found to inhibit quercetin autoxidation and compromise quercetin enhancement effect on luminol ECL to some extent. Two final autoxidation products were identified with LC-MS methods. Autoxidation process was associated with enhancement of ECL intensity. The ROS generated during quercetin autoxidation enhanced the ECL intensity.     

Copolymerization of luminol on screen-printed cells for single-use electrochemiluminescent sensors

An efficient electrochemiluminescent (ECL) single-use sensor for H(2)O(2) is presented based on an electropolymerized film prepared on screen-printed gold electrode (gold SPE). A study of the copolymerization of luminol in the presence of different monomers was carried out. The polymeric films were grown potentiodynamically with a potential interval between -0.2 and 1.0 V in 0.2 M H(2)SO(4) and were characterized by their electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent, and superficial features. The polymer with the most efficient growth and ECL emission was poly(luminol-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine) at 1:5 ratio. These prepared SPE cells present good mechanical and photoemissive properties. A semi-logarithmic linearization shows a noticeable four decade-width concentration range with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.6 × 10(-9) M and a precision of 10.2% (n = 5; as relative standard deviation, RSD) in the medium range level. The described SPE ECL sensors will be useful for the determination of oxidase substrates in ECL single-use biosensors.     

Intensification of electrochemiluminescence of luminol on TiO2 supported Au atomic cluster nano-hybrid modified electrode

With TiO(2) nanoparticles as carrier, a supported nano-material of Au atomic cluster/TiO(2) nano-hybrid was synthesized. It was then modified onto the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) by Nafion to act as a working electrode for exciting the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol. The properties of the nano-hybrid and the modified electrode were characterized by XRD, XPS, electronic microscopy, electrochemistry and spectroscopy. The experimental results demonstrated that the modification of this nano-hybrid onto the ITO electrode efficiently intensified the ECL of luminol. It was also revealed that the ECL intensity of luminol on this modified electrode showed very sensitive responses to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The detection limits for dissolved oxygen and hydrogen peroxide were 2 μg L(-1) and 5.5 × 10(-12) M, respectively. Besides the discussion of the intensifying mechanism of this nano-hybrid for ECL of luminol, the developed method was also applied for monitoring dissolved oxygen and evaluating the scavenging efficiency of reactive oxygen species of the Ganoderma lucidum spore.     

Carbon optically transparent electrodes for electrogenerated chemiluminescence

This study investigates pyrolyzed photoresist film (PPF)-based carbon optically transparent electrodes (C-OTEs) for use in electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) studies. Oxidative-reductive ECL is obtained with a well-characterized ECL system, C8S3 J-aggregates with 2-(dibutylamino)ethanol (DBAE) as coreactant. Simultaneous cyclic voltammograms (CVs) and ECL transients are obtained for three thicknesses of PPFs and compared to nontransparent glassy carbon (GC) and the conventional transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) in both front face and transmission electrode cell geometries. Despite positive potential shifts in oxidation and ECL peaks, attributed to the internal resistance of the PPFs that result from their nanoscale thickness, the PPFs display similar ECL activity to GC, including the low oxidation potential (LOP) observed for amine coreactants on hydrophobic electrodes. Reductive-oxidative ECL was obtained using the well-studied ECL luminophore Ru(bpy)(3)(2+), where the C-OTEs outperformed ITO because of electrochemical instability of ITO at very negative potentials. The C-OTEs are promising electrodes for ECL applications because they yield higher ECL than ITO in both oxidative-reductive and reductive-oxidative ECL modes, are more stable in alkaline solutions, display a wide potential window of stability, and have tunable transparency for more efficient detection of ECL.     

Controlled-potential electrosynthesis of glucosaminic acid from glucosamine at a gold electrode

The electrocatalytic oxidation of d-glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose) in alkaline and neutral solutions was examined using a carbon felt electrode modified with 2 nm core sized gold nanoparticles (Au_2 nm nanoparticles) and a gold plate electrode. The electrocatalytic voltammetric oxidation curves of d-glucosamine were obtained in both solutions. The voltammetric responses for the electrocatalytic oxidation at a Au_2 nm nanoparticle-modified electrode in both alkaline and neutral solutions were almost the same to those at a gold plate electrode. The oxidized product was identified to be d-glucosaminic acid (2-amino-2-deoxy- d-gluconic acid) generated by the 2-electron oxidation product of d-glucosamine by electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectra (ESI TOF-MS). The HPLC results also indicated that the oxidation product was d-glucosaminic acid.The controlled-potential electrolysis of d-glucosamine was performed at the Au_2 nm nanoparticle-modified carbon felt electrodes in both alkaline and neutral solutions. In the alkaline solution, at a potential of −0.2 V, d-glucosaminic acid was formed with a current efficiency of 100%. In the neutral solution, electrolysis at 0.4 V on d-glucosaminic acid was obtained with current efficiencies of 70%.     

A Highly Sensitive Electrochemiluminescence Choline Biosensor Based on Poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) Nanocomposites

Poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites are prepared on an electrode surface through electropolymerization, and a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for choline is developed based on the poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites and an enzyme catalyzed reaction of choline oxidase (CHOD). The obtained nanocomposites are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and ECL. The results indicate that hemin can be incorporated into the poly(aniline‐luminol) nanocomposites using the facile electropolymerization method, and the poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites are rod shaped porous nanostructure. Moreover, the poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites exhibit higher ECL intensity than poly(aniline‐luminol) nanocomposites in alkaline media due to the catalytic effect of hemin on the ECL of the polymerized luminol and the electron transfer ability of hemin in the nanocomposites. CHOD is immobilized on the surface of the poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin) nanocomposites modified electrode with glutaraldehyde, and the ECL biosensor based on poly(aniline‐luminol‐hemin)/CHOD exhibits a wider linear range for the choline detection. The enhanced ECL signals are linear with the logarithm of concentration of choline over the range of 1.0×10^?11～1.0×10^?7 mol L^?1 with a low detection limit of 1.2×10^?12 mol L^?1. Moreover, the proposed biosensor is successfully applied to the detection of choline in milk.     

Study on Sensitization from Reactive Oxygen Species for Electrochemiluminescence of Luminol in Neutral Medium

In this paper, the sensitization on electrochemiluminescent (ECL) reaction of luminol from reactive oxygen species (ROSs) in neutral medium was studied. The powerful sensitization from ROSs even related with organics and organisms were examined under selected conditions which were suitable for biochemical analysis. The results indicated that whether the enhancers were dissolved in solutions or immobilized on the surface of conventional electrodes, stronger ECL intensity of luminol could be obtained. Enhanced ECL helped to provide groundwork for the detection of biomolecules for which would further enhance or quench the ECL signals. The technique may provide new means in a variety of fields such as clinical diagnostics, immunological analysis and environmental monitoring due to its simplicity and high efficiency.

Electrodeposition of unsubstituted iron phthalocyanine nano-structure film in a functionalized ionic liquid and its electrocatalytic and electroanalysis applications

We report a novel and facile electrodeposition method to fabricate a nano-structure film of the unsubstituted metal phthalocyanine on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). In this electrodeposition system, unsubstituted iron(II) phthalocyanine (u-FePc) was chosen as the model complex of the unsubstituted metalphthalocyanine, and the ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate was employed as the solvent and electrolyte, thus avoiding the use of additional costly supporting electrolyte. Excellent electrocatalytic performance of the u-FePc nano-structure film was first evaluated by electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid (AA). Compared with the bare GCE, the oxidation peak potential of AA at u-FePc/GCE shifted negatively about 264 mV, and the oxidation peak current increased about 1.8 times. Furthermore, the as-prepared film was employed for the investigation of luminol electrochemiluminescence (ECL) behavior in neutral solution, which showed excellent performance including under selected experimental conditions, the ECL intensity showing an acceptable linear relationship for luminol concentrations between 5 × 10(-8) and 5 × 10(-6) M, and a linear response to H(2)O(2) over a wide concentration range, from 1.0 × 10(-8) to 1.0 × 10(-5) M in 3.0 μM luminol solution.
