Abstract
In conventional electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems, the presence of the competitive cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in aqueous electrolytes is typically considered to be a side reaction, leading to a reduced ECL efficiency and stability due to H2 generation and aggregation at the electrode surface. However, the significant role of adsorbed hydrogen (H*) as a key intermediate, formed during the Volmer reaction in the HER process, has been largely overlooked. In this study, employing the luminol-H2O2 system as a model, we for the first time demonstrate a novel H*-mediated coreactant activation mechanism, which remarkably enhances the ECL intensity. H* facilitates cleavage of the O-O bond in H2O2, selectively generating highly reactive hydroxyl radicals for efficient ECL reactions. Experimental investigations and theoretical calculations demonstrate that this H*-mediated mechanism achieves superior coreactant activation compared to the conventional direct electron transfer pathway, which unveils a new pathway for coreactant activation in the ECL systems.

Abstract
Ru-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) coordination polymers are widely employed for bioanalysis and medical diagnosis. However, commonly used Ru-based coordination polymers face the limitation of low efficiency due to the long distance between the ECL reagent and the coreactant dispersed in detecting solution. Herein, we report a dual-ligand self-enhanced ECL coordination polymer, composed of tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) dichloride (Ru(dcbpy)32+) as ECL reactant ligand and ethylenediamine (EDA) as corresponding coreactant ligand into Zn2+ metal node, termed Zn-Ru-EDA. Zn-Ru-EDA shows excellent ECL performance which is attributed to the effective intramolecular electron transport between the two ligands. Furthermore, the dual-ligand polymer allows an anodic low excitation potential (+1.09 V) luminescence. The shift in the energy level of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) upward after the synthesis of the Zn-Ru-EDA has resulted in a reduced excitation potential. The low excitation potential reduced biomolecular damage and the destruction of the modified electrodes. The ECL biosensor has been constructed using Zn-Ru-EDA with high ECL efficiency for the ultrasensitive detection of a bacterial infection and sepsis biomarker, procalcitonin (PCT), in the range from 1.00 × 10-6 to 1.00 × 10 ng·mL-1 with outstanding selectivity, and the detection limit was as low as 0.47 fg·mL-1. Collectively, the dual-ligand-based self-enhanced polymer may provide an ideal strategy for high ECL efficiency improvement as well as designing new self-enhanced multiple-ligand-based coordination in sensitive biomolecular detection for early disease diagnostics.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a luminescence production technique triggered by electrochemistry, which has emerged as a powerful analytical technique in bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis. During ECL, charge transfer (CT) is an important process between electrochemical excitation and luminescent emission, and dramatically affects the efficiency of exciton generation, playing a pivotal role in the light-emitting properties of nanomaterials. Reticular framework materials with intramolecular/intermolecular interactions offer a promising platform for regulating CT pathways and enhancing luminescence efficiency. Deciphering the role of intramolecular/intermolecular CT processes in reticular framework materials allows for the targeted design and synthesis of emitters with precisely controlled CT properties. This sheds light on the microscopic mechanisms of electro-optical conversion in ECL, propelling advancements in their efficiency and breakthrough applications. This mini-review focuses on recent advancements in engineering CT within reticular frameworks to boost ECL efficiency. We summarized strategies including intra-reticular charge transfer, CT between the metal and ligands, and CT between guest molecules and frameworks within reticular frameworks, which holds promise for developing next-generation ECL devices with enhanced sensitivity and light emission.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are excellent alternative luminophores for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassays. However, they are inevitably limited by the aggregation-caused quenching effect. In this study, aimed at eliminating the aggregation quenching of PAHs, luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with 1,3,6,8-tetra(4-carboxybenzene)pyrene (H4TBAPy) as the ligand were exploited as a novel nano-emitter for the construction of ECL immunoassays. The luminophore exhibits efficient aggregation-induced emission enhancement, good acid-base resistance property and unusual ECL reactivity. In addition, the simultaneous use of potassium persulfate and hydrogen peroxide as dual co-reactants resulted in a synergistic enhancement of the cathodic ECL efficiency. The use of magnetic iron-nickel alloys as the multifunctional sensing platform can further enhance the ECL activity, and its enriched zero-valent iron as a co-reactant accelerator effectively drives ECL analytical performance. Profiting from the excellent characteristics, signal-on ECL immunoassays have been constructed. With carcinoembryonic antigen as the model analysis target, a detection limit of 0.63 pg/mL was obtained within the linear range of 1 pg/mL to 50 ng/mL, accompanied by excellent analytical performance. This report opens a new window for the rational design of efficient ECL illuminators, and the proposed ECL immunoassays may find promising applications in the detection of disease markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid and sensitive detection for acetamiprid, a kind of widely used neonicotinoid insecticide, is very meaningful for the development of modern agriculture and the protection of human health. Highly stable electrochemiluminescence (ECL) materials are one of the key factors in ECL sensing technology. ECL materials prepared by porous materials (e.g., MOFs) coated with chromophores have been used for ECL sensing detection, but these materials have poor stability because the chromophores escape when they are in aqueous solution. Therefore, the development of highly stable ECL materials is of great significance to improve the sensitivity of ECL sensing technology. RESULTS In this work, by combining etched metal-organic frameworks (E-UIO-66-NH2) as carrier with Tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine)Ru(II) chloride (Ru(dcbpy)32+) as signal probe via amide bonds, highly stable nanocomposites (E-UIO-66-NH2-Ru) with excellent ECL performance were firstly prepared. Then, using MoS2 loaded with AuNPs as substrate material and co-reactant promoter, a signal off-on-off ECL aptamer sensor was prepared for sensitive detection of acetamiprid. Due to the excellent catalytic activity of E-UIO-66-NH2-Ru and MoS2@Au towards K2S2O8, the ECL signals can be enhanced by multiple signal enhancement pathways, the prepared ECL aptamer sensor could achieve sensitive detection of acetamiprid in the linear range of 10-13 to10-7 mol L-1, with the limit of detection (LOD) of 2.78ⅹ10-15 mol L-1 (S/N = 3). After the evaluation of actual sample testing, this sensing platform was proven to be an effective method for the detection of acetamiprid in food and agricultural products. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY The E-UIO-66-NH2-Ru prepared by linking Ru(dcbpy)32+ to E-UIO-66-NH2 via amide bonding has very high stability. The synergistic catalytic effect of MoS2 and AuNPs enhanced the ECL signal. By exploring the sensing mechanism and evaluating the actual sample tests, the proposed signal "on-off" ECL sensing strategy was proved to be an effective and excellent ECL sensing method for sensitive and stable detection of acetamiprid.

Abstract
Combining metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with liquid crystals to construct liquid crystalline MOFs (LCMOF) offers the advantage of endowing and enhancing their functionality, yet it remains a challenging task. Herein, we report chiral liquid crystalline MOF (CLCMOF) thin films by cross-linking the chiral liquid crystals (CLC) with MOF thin films to realize highly circular polarization luminescence (CPL) performance with photo and thermal switching. By layer by layer cross-linking stilbene-containing CLC with stilbene-based MOF (CLC/MOF) thin film, the CLCMOF thin films were successfully obtained after UV irradiation due to the abundant [2 + 2] photocycloaddition. The resulted CLCMOF thin films have strong chirality, obvious photochromic fluorescent, and strong CPL performance (the asymmetry factor reaches to 0.4). Furthermore, due to the photochromic fluorescent MOF and thermotropic CLC, the CPL can be reversed and red-shifted after heating and UV irradiation treatment, showing photo- and thermal CPL switching. Such MOF-based CPL thin films with photo/thermal CPL switching were prepared to patterns and codes for the demonstration of potential application in advanced information anticounterfeit and encryption. This study not only opens a strategy for developing chiral thin films combining MOFs and liquid crystals but also offers a new route to achieve CPL switching in optical applications.

Abstract
Nowadays, signal enhancement is imperative to increase sensitivity of advanced ECL devices for expediting their promising applications in clinic. In this work, photodynamic-assisted electrochemiluminescence (PDECL) device was constructed for precision diagnosis of Parkinson, where an advanced emitter was prepared by electrostatically linking 2,6-dimethyl-8-(3-carboxyphenyl)4,4'-difluoroboradiazene (BET) with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole tetrafluoroborate ([BMIm][BF4]). Specifically, protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) can trigger the photodynamic reaction under light irradiation with a wavelength of 450 nm to generate lots of singlet oxygen (1O2), showing a 2.43-fold magnification in the ECL responses. Then, the aptamer (Apt) was assembled on the functional BET-[BMIm] for constructing a "signal off" ECL biosensor. Later on, the PPIX was embedded into the G-quadruplex (G4) of the Apt to magnify the ECL signals for bioanalysis of α-synuclein (α-syn) under light excitation. In the optimized surroundings, the resulting PDECL sensor has a broad linear range of 100.0 aM ∼ 10.0 fM and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 63 aM, coupled by differentiating Parkinson patients from normal individuals according to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of actual blood samples. Such research holds great promise for synthesis of other advanced luminophores, combined with achieving an early clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The inappropriate use of antibiotics undoubtedly poses a potential threat to public health, creating an increasing need to develop highly sensitive tests. In this study, we designed a new type of porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (Fe TCPP(Zn) MOFs) with homogeneous catalytic sites. The ferric-based metal ligands of Fe TCPP(Zn) MOFs acted as co-reaction accelerators, which effectively improved the conversion efficiency of H2O2 on the surface of MOFs, then increased the concentration of •OH surrounding porphyrin molecules to achieve self-enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Based on this, an aptasensor for the specific detection of kanamycin (KAN) in food and environmental water samples was constructed in combination with resonance energy transform (RET), in which Fe TCPP(Zn) MOFs were used as luminescence donor and AuNPs were used as acceptor. Under the best conditions, there was a good linear relationship between the ECL intensity and the logarithm of KAN concentration with a detection limit of 0.28 fM in the range of 1.0 × 10-7-1.0 × 10-13 M, demonstrating satisfactory selectivity and stability. At the same time, the complexity of the detection environment was reduced, which further realized the reliable analysis of KAN in milk, honey and pond water. Overall, this innovative self-enhanced ECL strategy provides a novel approach for constructing efficient ECL systems in MOFs, and also extends the application of MOFs to the analysis and detection of trace antibiotics in food and the environment.

Precise tuning the structure of catalytic center is of great importance for the construction of enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters and the development of ECL amplification strategies, which is a key factor in improving the sensitivity of biosensors. In this work, we report the enhanced ECL emitters based on the porphyrin-based paddlewheel framework (PPF) with axial coordinated imidazole-like ligands (PPF/X, X = 2-methylimidazole (MeIm), imidazole (Im), benzimidazole (BIM)). In this system, the electron-donating ability of the axial ligands is positively correlated to its coordination ability to the paddlewheel units and the catalytic ability of the axially coordinated paddlewheel units. In addition, the electrochemical and ECL behavior of PPF/X (X = MeIm, Im, BIM) with different axial coordinated ligands are explored.

Abstract
A spatial-potential-color-resolved bipolar electrode electrochemiluminescence biosensor (BPE-ECL) using a CuMoOx electrocatalyst was constructed for the simultaneous detection and imaging of tetracycline (TET) and lincomycin (LIN). HOF-101 emitted peacock blue light under positive potential scanning, and CdSe quantum dots (QDs) emitted green light under negative potential scanning. CuMoOx could catalyze the electrochemical reduction of H2O2 to greatly increase the Faradic current of BPE and realize the ECL signal amplification. In channel 1, CuMoOx-Aptamer II (TET) probes were introduced into the BPE hole (left groove A) by the dual aptamer sandwich method of TET. During positive potential scanning, the polarity of BPE (left groove A) was negative, resulting in the electrochemical reduction of H2O2 catalyzed by CuMoOx, and the ECL signal of HOF-101 was enhanced for detecting TET. In channel 2, CuMoOx-Aptamer (LIN) probes were adsorbed on the MXene of the driving electrode (DVE) hole (left groove B) by hydrogen-bonding and metal-chelating interactions. LIN bound with its aptamers, causing CuMoOx to fall off. During negative potential scanning, the polarity of DVE (left groove B) was negative and the Faradic current decreased. The ECL signal of CdSe QDs was reduced for detecting LIN. Furthermore, a portable mobile phone imaging platform was built for the colorimetric (CL) detection of TET and LIN. Thus, the multiple mode-resolved detection of TET and LIN could be realized simultaneously with only one potential scan, which greatly improved detection accuracy and efficiency. This study opened a new technology of BPE-ECL sensor application and is expected to shine in microchips and point-of-care testing (POCT).

Abstract
The development of potential-resolved electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems with dual emitting signals holds great promise for accurate and reliable determination in complex samples. However, the practical application of such systems is hindered by the inevitable mutual interaction and mismatch between different luminophores or coreactants. In this work, for the first time, by precisely tuning the oxygen reduction performance of M-N-C single-atom catalysts (SACs), we present a dual potential-resolved luminol ECL system employing endogenous dissolved O2 as a coreactant. Using advanced in situ monitoring and theoretical calculations, we elucidate the intricate mechanism involving the selective and efficient activation of dissolved O2 through central metal species modulation. This modulation leads to the controlled generation of hydroxyl radical (·OH) and superoxide radical (O2·-), which subsequently trigger cathodic and anodic luminol ECL emission, respectively. The well-designed Cu-N-C SACs, with their moderate oxophilicity, enable the simultaneous generation of ·OH and O2·-, thereby facilitating dual potential-resolved ECL. As a proof of concept, we employed the principal component analysis statistical method to differentiate antibiotics based on the output of the dual-potential ECL signals. This work establishes a new avenue for constructing a potential-resolved ECL platform based on a single luminophore and coreactant through precise regulation of active intermediates.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) efficiency is determined by charge transfer between coreactants and emitters in coreactant systems, which are usually limited by their slow intermolecular charge transfer. In this study, a covalent organic framework (COF) with aldehyde residue was synthesized, and then coreactants were covalently integrated into the skeleton through the postsynthetic modification strategy, resulting in a crystalline coreactant-embedded COF nanoemitter (C-COF). Compared to the pristine COF with an equivalent external coreactant, C-COF exhibited an extraordinary 1008-fold enhancement of ECL intensity due to the rapid intrareticular charge transfer. Significantly, with the pH increase, C-COF shows protonation-induced ECL enhancement for the first ECL peaked at +1.1 V and an opposite trend for the second ECL at +1.4 V, which were attributed to the antedating oxidation of coreactant in framework and COF self-oxidation, respectively. The resulting bimodal oxidation ECL mechanism was rationalized by spectral characterization and density functional theory calculations. The postsynthetic coreactant-embedded nanoemitters present innovative and universal avenues for advancing ECL systems.

Abstract
The anodic oxygen evolution reaction is a well-acknowledged side reaction in traditional aqueous electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems due to the generation and surface aggregation of oxygen at the electrode, which detrimentally impacts the stability and efficiency of ECL emission. However, the effect of reactive oxygen species generated during water oxidation on ECL luminophores has been largely overlooked. Taking the typical luminol emitter as an example, herein, we employed NiIr single-atom alloy aerogels possessing efficient water oxidation activity as a prototype co-reaction accelerator to elucidate the relationship between ECL behavior and water oxidation reaction kinetics for the first time. By regulating the concentration of hydroxide ions in the electrolyte, the electrochemical oxidation processes of both luminol and water are finely tuned. When the concentration of hydroxide ions in electrolyte is low, the kinetics of water oxidation is attenuated, which limits the generation of oxygen, effectively mitigates the influence of oxygen accumulation on the ECL strength, and offers a novel perspective for harnessing side reactions in ECL systems. Finally, a sensitive and stable sensor for antioxidant detection was constructed and applied to the practical sample detection.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a light-emitting process that occurs via an annihilation reaction among energetic radical intermediates, whose stabilities determine the ECL efficiency. In this study, a ligand-dimerized metal-organic framework (MOF) with ultrastable anion radical is designed as an efficient nanoemitter for self-accumulated ECL. Due to the nonplanar structure of perylene diimide (PDI) derivate, two PDI ligands in the framework form a J-dimer unit with a vertical distance of ∼5.74 Å. In cathodic scanning, the ligand-dimerized MOF demonstrates three-step ECL emissions with a gradual increase in ECL intensity. Unlike the decrease in the PDI ligand, the self-accumulated ECL of the MOF was observed with 16.8-fold enhancement due to the excellent stability of radical intermediates in frameworks. Electron paramagnetic resonance demonstrated the ultrastability of free radicals in the designed frameworks, with 82.2% remaining even after one month of storage. Density functional theory calculations supported that PDI dimerization was energetically favorable upon successive electron injection. Moreover, the ECL wavelength is 610 nm, corresponding to the emission of excited dimers. The radical-stabilized reticular nanoemitters open up a new platform for decoding the fundamentals of self-accumulated ECL systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advancement of highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors has garnered escalating interest over time. Owing to the distinctive physicochemical attributes, the signal amplification strategy facilitated by functional nanomaterials has achieved notable milestones. Single-atom catalysts (SACs), featuring atomically dispersed metal active sites, have garnered significant attention. SACs offer unprecedented control over active sites and surface structures at the atomic level. However, to fully harness their potential, ongoing efforts focus on strategies to enhance the catalytic performance of SACs, profoundly influencing both the sensitivity and selectivity of SACs-based sensing platforms. RESULTS In this study, we focused on the synthesis and application of Fe-Co-PNC dual-atom catalysts (DACs) with the incorporation of phosphorus, aiming to enhance catalytic efficiency, particularly in the context of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) correlated cathodic luminol ECL. The synergistic effects arising from the combination of Fe and Co in DACs were explored by ECL emission. Comparative studies with Fe-PNC SACs highlighted the superior catalytic performance of Fe-Co-PNC DACs. The ECL sensing platform exhibited excellent sensitivity, which provided a fast detection of Trolox with a wide linear range (0.1 μM-1.0 mM) and a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.03 μM. The platform demonstrated remarkable reproducibility and long-term stability, showcasing its potential for practical biosensing applications. SIGNIFICANCE This study introduced the novel concept of Fe-Co-PNC DACs. The demonstrated synergistic effects and enhanced catalytic efficiency of DACs offer new avenues for the rational design of advanced catalysts. The successful application in the sensitive detection of Trolox emphasizes their potential significance in biosensing. It not only expands our understanding of SACs but also opens doors for the development of efficient and stable catalysts with broader applications.

Abstract
Photocurrent polarity reversal is a switching process between the anodic and cathodic pathways and is critical for eliminating false positivity and improving detection sensitivity in photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing. In this study, we construct a PEC sensor with excellent photocurrent polarity reversal induced by ascorbic acid (AA) as an electron donor with the energy level matching the photoactive material zirconium metal-organic framework (ZrMOF). The ZrMOF-modified electrode demonstrates cathodic photocurrent in the presence of O2 as an electron acceptor, while the anodic photocurrent is generated in the presence of AA, achieving photocurrent polarity reversal. By the in situ release of AA from AA-encapsulated apoferritin modified with DNA 2 (AA@APO-S2) as a detection tag in the presence of trypsin after the recognition of hairpin DNA-modified indium tin oxide to the reaction product of aptamer/DNA 1 with the target protein and the following rolling cycle amplification for introducing the detection tag to the sensing interface, the reversed photocurrent shows an enhanced photocurrent response to the target protein, leading to a highly sensitive PEC sensing strategy. This strategy realizes the detection of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 with good specificity, a wide linear range, and a low detection limit down to 5.3 fM. The actual sample analysis offers the detection results of the proposed PEC sensor comparable to those of commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests, indicating the promising application of the photocurrent polarity reversal-based PEC sensing strategy in biomolecule detection and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The limited active sites and poor acid-alkaline solution stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), significantly limit their wider application. In this study, the acid property of tannic acid (TA) was used as an etchant to etch the surface-active sites. Subsequently, the further chelation of the protonated TA with the exposed metal active site can effectively protect the metal ions. Meanwhile, the TA provided a large amount of phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can greatly improve the stability of imidazolate-coordinated MOFs. The electrochemical test results indicated that the MOFs composite materials synthesized using this scheme had high specific capacitance and stability. And the mechanism of its electrochemical reaction process was explored through in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and theoretical calculations. In addition, the same treatment was carried out through a series of carboxyl-coordinated MOFs, which further confirmed the principle of this scheme to obtain a higher active site and stability. This paper explains the mechanism of functionalization of nano-MOFs by polyphenolic compounds, providing new ideas for the research of nano-MOFs.

Abstract
Metal-organic gels (MOGs) emerged as an attractive luminescent soft material for electrochemiluminescence (ECL). In this work, a cathodic ECL-activated europium metal-organic gel (Eu-MOG) has been synthesized by a facile mixing of Eu3+ with 4'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (Hcptpy) under mild conditions. The prepared Eu-MOG is highly mesoporous for co-reactant permeation to produce an ultra-stable and high-efficient ECL, based on the antenna effect of Eu3+ coordinating with Hcptpy. Moreover, dipicolinic acid (DPA) can competitively coordinate with Eu3+ instead of water molecules, producing an enhanced ECL signal. Therefore, an ECL enhancement assay was developed for DPA detection. There was a linear relationship between the ECL intensity and the logarithmic concentration of DPA in the 0.01-1 μM range, and the detection limit is 7.35 nM. This work displays the promising application of Eu-MOG in the ECL field, opening a broad inspection for seeking a new generation of ECL luminophores.

Abstract
Manufacturing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) electrodes to detect analytes with high performance in the aqueous phase for water-insoluble metal complexes is a great challenge. Here, a directional self-assembling avenue for in situ fabricating iridium(III)-polyimine complex-encapsulated metal-organic framework (MOF) two-dimensional electrode Hf-MOF/Ir2PD/APS/ITO is developed. The electrode displayed bright red ECL emission with high stability in the aqueous phase and specific adsorption toward ssDNA against dsDNA and mNs. That is to say, a "high-performance and multifunctional ECL electrode" is presented and explored for sensitive detection of acetamiprid (Ace) with a limit of detection of 0.0025 nM, where Ace-aptamer recognition-switched Exonuclease III-mediated digestion to make large numbers of Fc-labeled ssDNA transform into Fc-mNs. Furthermore, the proposed method was triumphantly employed to monitor the change in the residual concentration of Ace in pakchoi. This work breaks through the bottleneck of metal complex-based ECL emission in organic solvents and provides a novel strategy to develop high-performance ECL sensors.

Abstract
Porphyrins easily aggregate due to unfavorable π-π accumulation, causing luminescent quenching in the aqueous phase and subsequently reducing luminescent efficiency. It is a feasible way to immobilize porphyrin molecules through metal-organic framework materials (MOFs). In this study, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) was introduced into the metal-organic skeleton (PCN-224) as a ligand. The result showed that the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and photoluminescence (PL) efficiency of the MOF skeleton was 8.2 and 6.5 times higher than TCPP, respectively. Impressively, the periodic distribution of porphyrin molecules in the MOF framework can overcome the bottleneck of porphyrin aggregation, resulting in the organic ligand TCPP participating in the electron transfer reaction. Herein, based on the PCN-224, a sandwich-type ECL immunosensor was constructed for the determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). It provided sensitive detection of cTnI in the range of 1 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.34 fg/mL. This work not only innovatively exploited a disaggregation ECL (DIECL) strategy via the crystalline framework of MOF to enhance the PL and ECL efficiency of porphyrin but also provided a promising ECL platform for the ultrasensitive monitoring of cTnI.

Abstract
The successful application of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in immunoassays for clinical diagnosis requires stable electrodes and high-efficient ECL signal amplification strategies. Herein, the authors discovered a new class of atomically dispersed peroxidase-like nanozymes with multiple active sites (CoNi-MOF@PCN-224/Fe), which significantly improved the catalytic performance and uncovered the underlying mechanism. Experimental studies and theoretical calculation results revealed that the nanozyme introduced a Fenton-like reaction into the catalytic system and the crucial synergistic effects of definite active moieties endow CoNi-MOF@PCN-224/Fe strong electron-withdrawing effect and low thermodynamic activation energy toward H2O2. Benefiting from the high peroxidase-like activity of the hybrid system, the resultant ECL electrode exhibited superior catalytic activity in the luminol-H2O2 system and resulted in an ≈17-fold increase in the ECL intensity. In addition, plasmonic Ag/Au core-satellite nanocubes (Ag/AuNCs) were designed as high-efficient co-reactant quenchers to improve the performance of the ECL immunoassay. On the basis of the differential signal amplification strategy (DSAS) proposed, the immunoassay displayed superior detection ability, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.13 pg mL-1 for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The designed atomically anchored MOF-on-MOF nanozyme and DSAS strategy provides more possibilities for the ultrasensitive detection of disease markers in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)32+)-tripropylamine anodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system has been widely applied in commercial bioanalysis. However, the presence of amine compounds in the biological environment results in unavoidable anodic interference signals, which hinder further extensive use of the system. In contrast, the cathodic Ru(bpy)32+ ECL system can overcome these limitations. The Ru(bpy)32+/peroxydisulfate (S2O82-, PDS) ECL system has been extensively employed due to its ability to produce a sulfate radical anion (SO4•-) with strong oxidation ability, which enhances the ECL signal. However, the symmetrical molecular structure of PDS makes it challenging to be activated and causes low luminescence efficiency. To address this issue, we propose an efficient Ru(bpy)32+-based ternary ECL system that uses the iron-nitrogen-carbon single-atom catalyst (Fe-N-C SAC) as an advanced accelerator. Fe-N-C SAC can efficiently activate PDS into reactive oxygen species at a lower voltage, which significantly boosts the cathodic ECL emission of Ru(bpy)32+. Benefiting from the outstanding catalytic activity of Fe-N-C SAC, we successfully established an ECL biosensor that detects alkaline phosphatase activity with high sensitivity, demonstrating the feasibility of practical application.

Abstract
Although the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of metal nanoclusters has been reported, revealing the correlation between structure and ECL at an atomic level is highly challenging. Here, we reported the impact of the metal core of Au20(SAdm)12(CHT)4 (Au20-AC for short; SAdm = 1-adamantanethiolate; CHT= cyclohexanethiol) and its isomer Au20(TBBT)16 (TBBT = 4-tert-butylthiophenol) on their solution-state and solid-state electrochemiluminescence. In self-annihilation ECL experiments, Au20-AC showed a strong cathodic ECL but a weak anodic ECL, while the ECL signal of Au20(TBBT)16 was weak and barely detectable. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that the Au7 kernel of [Au20-AC]- is metastable, weakening its anodic ECL. Au20-AC in solution-state displayed an intense co-reactant ECL in the near-infrared region, which is 7 times higher than that of standard Ru(bpy)32+. The strongest solid-state ECL emissions of Au20-AC and Au20(TBBT)16 were at 860 and 770 nm, respectively - 15 nm red-shifted for Au20-AC and 20 nm blue-shifted for Au20(TBBT)16, compared to their corresponding solid-state photoluminescence (PL) emissions. This work shows that ECL is significantly affected by the subtle differences of the metal core, and offers a potential basis for sensing and immunoassay platforms based on atomically precise emissive metal nanoclusters.

Abstract
The ECL emission of simple and stable zirconium dioxide nanomaterials has always been a blank slate in the ECL sensors field. In this work, zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)-titanium dioxide (TiO2)-gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) composite (ZT-Au), a novel self-enhanced ECL emitter, was introduced the system of dual-quenching ECL immunosensor. The anodic luminescence of ZrO2 in the system of tripropylamine (TPrA) as a co-reagent was first reported and explored. Meanwhile, TiO2 was designed into the ECL scheme as a co-reaction accelerator to form the ZrO2/TPrA/TiO2 ternary system, which can efficiently amplify the ECL signal of the emitter. In addition, cuprous oxide-triaminophenol (Cu2O-APF) as the quencher was devoted to the dual-quenching sensing strategy. The dual-quenching mechanism that effectively boosted the immunosensor sensitivity was adequately investigated and conjectured in this paper. The sensing model based on the luminophor ZT-Au and the quencher Cu2O-APF was utilized for the detection of D-dimer, a reliable marker for the diagnosis and evaluation of thrombotic diseases. The short peptide ligands NARKFYKGC (NFC) with efficient biological affinity were used to site-directionally capture antibodies for adequately protecting the activity of antigen binding sites during the construction of the immunosensor. The implemented immunosensor was equipped with a broad linear range of 0.01-500 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 3.6 pg/mL. The original methodology opens up the field of vision for the detection of additional biomarkers.

Abstract
The application of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is promising in environmental monitoring. Developing an emerging design strategy to expand the class of COF-based ECL luminophores is highly desirable. Here, a COF-based host-guest system was constructed through guest molecular assembly to deal with nuclear contamination analysis. The efficient charge transport network was formed by inserting an electron-withdrawing guest tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) into the open space of the COF host (TP-TBDA; TP = 2,4,6-trihydroxy-1,3,5-benzenetricarbaldehyde and TBDA = 2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine) with an electron-donating property; the construction of the COF-based host-guest system (TP-TBDA@TCNQ) triggered the ECL emission of non-emitting TP-TBDA. Furthermore, the dense active sites in TP-TBDA were utilized to capture the target substance UO22+. The presence of UO22+ broke the charge-transfer effect in TP-TBDA@TCNQ, resulting in the weakening of the ECL signal, thus the established ECL system integrating the low detection limit with high selectivity monitors UO22+. This COF-based host-guest system provides a novel material platform for constructing late-model ECL luminophores and creates an opportunity for the vigorous ECL technology.

Abstract
A DNA hydrogel, owing to its dual properties of liquid and solid, is considered to be an ideal material for constructing biosensors that can integrate the advantages of both wet chemistry and dry chemistry. Nevertheless, it has struggled to cope with the demands of high-throughput analysis. A partitioned and chip-based DNA hydrogel is a potential avenue to achieve this, but currently remains a formidable challenge. Here, we developed a portable and partitioned DNA hydrogel chip that can be used for multitarget detection. The partitioned and surface-immobilized DNA hydrogel chip was formed by inter-crosslinking amplification by incorporating target-recognizing fluorescent aptamer hairpins into multiple rolling circle amplification products, which can achieve portable and simultaneous detection of multiple targets. This approach expands the application of semi-dry chemistry strategies, which can realize high throughput and point of care testing (POCT) of different targets, improving the development of hydrogel-based bioanalysis and providing new potential solutions for biomedical detection.

Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 227:115170. [PMID: 36827794 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/21/2023]
Abstract
The establishment of new mechanisms for target identification and signal amplification continues to drive innovation in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platforms. In this paper, a novel ECL insulin sensing platform was constructed by utilizing the molecular recognition properties of cucurbit[7]uril. Specifically, the macrocyclic host molecule cucurbit[7]uril was immobilized on the surface of the sensing platform as an identification probe, which could selectively capture insulin according to the inherent properties of the protein N-terminal. Introducing the rigid molecule cucurbit[7]uril into the sensing interface could reduce the influence of the environmental parameters on the sensing system, which provides a reliable guarantee for the accurate detection of insulin. Furthermore, gold nanoclusters were modified by utilizing the molecular recognition properties of cucurbit[7]uril, and used as anode signal probes for ECL sensing platform. The macrocyclic molecules cucurbit[7]uril passivated the surface of the nanoclusters, inhibited the non-radiative relaxation and improved the physical stability of the luminophore, leading to a significant increase in the sensitivity and stability of the ECL probe. The ECL sensing platforms exhibited a linear range from 50.00 fg/mL to 100.0 ng/mL, with a detection limit of 5.44 fg/mL. This study revealed the critical role of cucurbit[7]uril in target recognition and signal amplification, extending the scope of supramolecular applications in ECL.

Abstract
Covalently modifying electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores to alter their energy levels or generate energy/electron transfer processes for improved performance is hindered by the complex design and fabrication processes. In this study, non-covalent bond self-assembly was employed to enhance the ECL property of gold nanoclusters with tryptophan (Try) and mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as ligands (Try-MPA-gold nanoclusters). Specifically, through the molecular recognition of Try by cucurbit[7]uril, some non-radiative transition channels of the charge carriers on the surface of the Try-MPA-gold nanoclusters were restricted, resulting in a significant enhancement of the ECL intensity of the nanoclusters. Furthermore, rigid macrocyclic molecules acted on the surface of the nanoclusters through self-assembly, forming a passive barrier that improved the physical stability of the nanoclusters in the water-phase and indirectly improved their luminescent stability. As an application, cucurbit[7]uril-treated Try-MPA-gold nanoclusters (cucurbit[7]uril@Try-MPA-gold nanoclusters) were used as signal probes, and Zn-doped SnO2 nanoflowers (Zn-SnO2 NFs) with high electron mobility were used as electrode modification material to establish an ECL sensor for kanamycin (KANA) detection, utilizing split aptamers as capture probes. The advanced split aptamer sensor demonstrated excellent sensitivity analysis for KANA in complex food substrates with a recovery rate of 96.2 to 106.0%.

Abstract
Nowadays, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) efficiency of an organic emitter is closely related with its potential applications in food safety and environmental monitoring fields. In this work, 2,4,6-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TATB) was self-assembled to form hydrogen bond organic frameworks (HOFs), which worked as ideal reactors to generate highly active oxygen-containing radicals, followed by linking with isoluminol (ILu) via amide bond (termed ILu-HOFs). After covalent assembly with aminated indium-tin oxide electrode (labeled NH2-ITO), the ECL efficiency of the ILu-HOFs NH2-ITO showed about a 23.4-time increase over that of ILu itself in the presence of H2O2. Meanwhile, the enhanced ECL mechanism was mainly studied by electron paramagnetic resonance, theoretical calculation, and electrochemistry. On the above foundation, an aptamer "sandwich" ECL biosensor was constructed for detecting isocarbophos (ICP) via in situ elimination of H2O2 with catalase-linked palladium nanocubes (CAT-Pd NCs). The as-built sensor showed a broad linear range (1 pM to 100 nM) and a low limit of detection (LOD) down to 0.4 pM, coupled with efficient assays of ICP in lake water and cucumber juice samples. This strategy provides an effective way for the synthesis of advanced ECL emitter, coupled by showing promising applications in environmental and food analysis.

Abstract
Herein we report the study of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) generation by tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium (Ru(bpy)3 2+ ) and five tertiary amine coreactants. The ECL distance and lifetime of coreactant radical cations were measured by ECL self-interference spectroscopy. And the reactivity of coreactants was quantitatively evaluated in terms of integrated ECL intensity. By statistical analysis of ECL images of single Ru(bpy)3 2+ -labeled microbeads, we propose that ECL distance and reactivity of coreactant codetermine the emission intensity and thus the sensitivity of immunoassay. 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2',2''-nitrilotriethanol (BIS-TRIS) can well balance ECL distance-reactivity trade-off and enhance the sensitivity by 236 % compared with tri-n-propylamine (TPrA) in the bead-based immunoassay of carcinoembryonic antigen. The study brings an insightful understanding of ECL generation in bead-based immunoassay and a way of maximizing the analytical sensitivity from the aspect of coreactant.

Abstract
Coreactant electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is one of the most popular pathways in commercial analysis, which can provide simplicity and convenience for getting intense ECL emission. However, the low efficiency of intermolecular electron transfer could weaken ECL intensity. In this work, we developed an enhanced ECL strategy through in situ coordination interactions between metal-organic framework emitters and coreactants. First, a metal-organic framework (MOF) emitter was synthesized with 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)ethane (TPPE) as aggregation-induced emission linkers and Zn as nodes. Interestingly, compared to TPPE ligand, the resulted MOF nanoemitters demonstrated 49.5 folds enhancement of ECL emission in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) as the coreactant. More significantly, different from the constant ECL intensity using TPrA coreactant, DABCO exhibited time-dependent ECL intensity due to the intrareticular electron transfer through coordination interaction between DABCO and Zn2+, which was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectral experiments. The enhanced ECL was then applied to construct a sensitive ECL method to detect dopamine in serum samples. The coordination interaction between emitters and coreactants not only provides a universal way to enhance ECL, but also expands the applications of coreactant ECL system in convenience route.

Abstract
The elimination of aggregation-caused quenching of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by metal-ligand coordination is of immense scientific interest in solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing. Herein potassium ion (K+)-mediated J-aggregate K-PTC MOF (PTCA, perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic) was synthesized and employed to formulate an ECL immunosensor for biomarker detection. The coordination-driven aggregates are arranged in an end-to-end side mode, which overcomes the aggregation-caused quenching related to PTCA concentration. Compared with PTCA, K-PTC MOF shows a more stable ECL emission with an unprecedented red shift to 718 nm and is equipped with ECL activity for analytical applications at a voltage of -1.1 V. Considering the requirements of accurate detection, metal-phenolic bioactive nanoparticles (MPNPs) were synthesized for the construction of a sandwich sensing platform to realize the steady-state regulation of ECL. As proof of applicability, a constructive experiment was carried out with neuron-specific enolase (NSE), a marker of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), as a targeted analyte. With optimal requirements, the configuration can provide a detection range of 10 pg/mL to 50 ng/mL and a detection limit of 7.4 pg/mL, accompanied by sufficient practical analytical performance. Collectively, this paradigm provides a deeper understanding of the ECL characteristics of coordination-driven J-aggregation and provides more possibilities for the development of ECL patterns based on luminescent metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract
Luminol is one of the most widely used electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reagents, yet the detailed mechanism and kinetics of the electrochemical oxidation of luminol remain unclear. We propose a model that describes the electrochemical oxidation of luminol as multiple electron transfer reactions followed by an irreversible chemical reaction, and we applied a finite element method simulation to analyze the electron transfer kinetics in alkaline solutions. Although negligible at higher pH values, the adsorption of luminol on the glassy carbon electrode became noticeable in a solution with pH = 12. Additionally, various types of adsorption behaviors were observed for luminol derivatives and analogues, indicating that the molecular structure affected not only the oxidation but also the adsorption process. The adsorption effect was analyzed through a model with a Langmuir isotherm to show that the saturated surface concentration as well as the reaction kinetics increased with decreasing pH, suggesting a competition for the active sites between the molecule and OH-. Moreover, we show that the ECL intensity could be boosted through the adsorption effect by collecting the ECL intensity generated through the electrochemical oxidation of luminol and a luminol analogue, L012, in a solution with pH = 13. In contrast with luminol, a significant adsorption effect was observed for L012 at pH = 13, and the ECL intensity was enhanced by the adsorbed species, especially at higher scan rates. The magnitude of the enhancement of the ECL intensity matched well with the simulation using our model.

Abstract
Direct imaging of single-molecule and its movement is of fundamental importance in biology, but challenging. Herein, aided by the nanoconfinement effect and resultant high reaction activity within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the designed Ru(bpy)3 2+ embedded MOF complex (RuMOFs) exhibits bright electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission permitting high-quality imaging of ECL events at single molecule level. By labeling individual proteins of living cells with single RuMOFs, the distribution of membrane tyrosine-protein-kinase-like7 (PTK7) proteins at low-expressing cells is imaged via ECL. More importantly, the efficient capture of ECL photons generated inside the MOFs results in a stable ECL emission up to 1 h, allowing the in operando visualization of protein movements at the cellular membrane. As compared with the fluorescence observation, near-zero ECL background surrounding the target protein with the ECL emitter gives a better contrast for the dynamic imaging of discrete protein movement. This achievement of single molecule ECL dynamic imaging using RuMOFs will provide a more effective nanoemitter to observe the distribution and motion of individual proteins at living cells.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol is a well-established methodology in analytical chemistry and bioimaging. Developing novel strategies to enhance the ECL signal of this model emitter is a challenging but rewarding task. In this work, we introduced the high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as a pretreatment means and a non-invasive way to trigger and boost the ECL signal with a 40-fold significant enhancement in the luminol-O2 system without the addition of exogenous co-reactants. The superoxide anion (O2-•) generated in situ by HIFU was the key initiator for boosting the ECL emission as demonstrated in this study for the first time. This promising co-reactant-free strategy could find potential applications for ultrasensitive ECL detection in the analysis of complex biological entities.

Abstract
Designing and screening highly efficient and cost-effective luminophores have always been a challenge to develop sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors. Herein, polyethyleneimine nanoparticles (PEI NPs), a kind of nonconjugated polymer (NCP) NPs with tertiary amine clusters, were developed as an ECL luminophore. Specifically, PEI NPs were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method using PEI and formaldehyde. The properties of PEI NPs were investigated in detail using photochemical and electrochemical techniques. The results showed cluster-dominated luminescence of tertiary amines in PEI NPs via "through-space conjugation". This non-negligible ECL performance (at 631 nm) was also verified by the initiated reduction-oxidation process. With persulfate as a coreactant, PEI NPs acted as both the luminophore and coreaction accelerator to enhance the ECL intensity remarkably, which was eightfold higher than that of isolated PEI. Moreover, choosing dopamine as the model target, a highly sensitive "signal off" ternary ECL sensor was constructed utilizing PEI NPs as the luminophore. Dopamine could be oxidized to benzoquinone at the sensing interface, quenching the signal via ECL energy transfer. Free from any signal amplification, the proposed sensor achieved a low detection limit (4.3 nM) for target monitoring with good selectivity and stability. This strategy not only provides a unique perspective for designing novel efficient and facile ECL luminophores of tertiary amines but also broadens the biological application of NCP NPs.

Abstract
A boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoemitter was for the first time designed with enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity due to the suppression of non-radiative dissipation originating from the ordered arrangement of BODIPY molecules in the framework. Thus, an ECL biosensor was developed for telomerase detection with excellent performance in real samples.

Abstract
The exploration of novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reagents has been a breakthrough work in ECL immunoassay. In this work, the ECL properties of polyoxomolybdate-zirconia (POM-ZrO2) were discovered for the first time and their luminescence mechanism was initially explored. Virgulate POM-ZrO2 was synthesized from phosphomolybdic acid hydrate and zirconium oxychloride by solvothermal method, which achieved intense and stabilized cathode ECL emission at a negative potential. Polyaniline@Au nanocrystals (PANI@AuNPs) as the executor of the dual-mechanism quenching strategy were used to reduce the output signal. The quenching efficiency was significantly enhanced by the dual mechanisms of ECL energy transfer and electron transfer. Specifically, PANI@AuNPs can serve as an energy receptor to absorb the energy emitted by POM-ZrO2 (energy donor), while the appropriate energy level can be regarded as the condition for electron transfer to quench the ECL intensity of POM-ZrO2. Herein, the proposed dual-mechanism quenching strategy was applied to the immunoassay of 17β-estradiol by constructing a competitive immunosensor. As expected, the immunosensor demonstrated favorable analytical performance and a wide sensing range from 0.01 pg/mL to 200 ng/mL. Hence, it provides a novel method for the sensitive analysis of other biomolecules, such as disease markers and environmental estrogens.

Abstract
In this study, a neoteric self-enhanced nanocomposite boron carbon nitride nanosheets (BCN NSs)-Ru obtained by chemical crosslinking between boron carbon nitride nanosheets (BCN NSs) and tris (4,4'-dicarboxylicacid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) dichloride (Ru(dcbpy)3Cl2) was used as an emitter to build an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of the cancer marker human thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) mRNA. Importantly, the self-enhanced BCN NSs-Ru could exhibit strong ECL emission because boron radicals and amine groups derived from BCN NSs could significantly enhance the ECL response of Ru(dcbpy)3Cl2, which avoided the defects of the long electron transfer path and large energy loss between the emitter and coreactant in the traditional coreaction ECL system. Impressively, in the presence of target TK1 mRNA, three-dimensional DNA network structure-labeled numerous ferrocene probes could be assembled to quickly quench the ECL signal of BCN NSs-Ru, resulting in improved biosensor sensitivity. The obtained "on-off" biosensor showed excellent stability and high sensitivity with a detection limit of 32.3 aM. In general, the developed strategy provided a new biosensing way for ultrasensitive detection of biomolecules in early disease diagnosis.

Abstract
A molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed for the specific detection of kanamycin in food using silver nanowires-gold nanoparticles (AgNWs-AuNPs) as a luminophore. Polythionine (pThi), another key component of the luminescent layer, can be used as an accelerator of the coreactant and can promote the formation of the AgNWs-AuNPs conductive network. In addition, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were polymerized on the AgNWs-AuNPs/pThi conductive network, which laid the foundation for the specific capture of kanamycin. The preparation and testing conditions of the sensor were optimized, and the performance was characterized. Under optimal conditions, the ECL intensity of AgNWs-AuNPs/pThi/MIP/GCE showed a good linear relationship (R2 = 0.9956) with kanamycin concentration (1 × 10-10-1 × 10-6 M) and a low detection limit (3.14 × 10-11 M, S/N = 3), showing satisfactory selectivity and stability. As proof, AgNWs-AuNPs/pThi/MIP/GCE was successfully used to detect kanamycin in actual samples with satisfactory recovery (83.27-94.13%), which was in good agreement with the results of HPLC-MS/MS (82.26-95.82%). The successful preparation of AgNWs-AuNPs/pThi/MIP/GCE in this experiment provided a new pathway for designing ECL components and constructing an ultrasensitive sensing platform in the field of hazardous substance detection.
