Abstract
The excessive concentration of heavy-metal mercury ions (Hg2+) in the environment seriously affects the ecological environment and even threatens human health. Therefore, it is necessary to develop rapid and low-cost determination methods to achieve trace detection of Hg2+. In this paper, an Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform using a functionalized rare-earth material (cerium oxide, CeO2) as the luminescent unit and an aptamer as a capture unit was designed and constructed. Using the specific asymmetric matching between Hg2+ and thymine (T) base pairs in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) single strand, the "T-Hg-T" structure was formed to change the ECL signal, leading to a direct and sensitive response to Hg2+. The results show a good linear relationship between the concentration and the response signal within the range of 10 pM-100 µM for Hg2+, with a detection limit as low as 0.35 pM. In addition, the ECL probe exhibits a stable ECL performance and excellent specificity for identifying target Hg2+. It was then successfully used for spiked recovery tests of actual samples in the environment. The analytical method solves the problem of poor Hg2+ recognition specificity, provides a new idea for the efficient and low-cost detection of heavy-metal pollutant Hg2+ in the environment, and broadens the prospects for the development and application of rare-earth materials.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (MeNCs), composed of a few to hundreds of metal atoms and appropriate surface ligands, have attracted extensive interest in the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) realm owing to their molecule-like optical, electronic, and physicochemical attributes and are strongly anticipated for discrete energy levels, fascinating electrocatalytic activity, and good biocompatibility. Over the past decade, huge efforts have been devoted to the synthesis, properties, and application research of ECL-related MeNCs, and this field is still a subject of heightened concern. Therefore, this perspective aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advances of MeNCs in the ECL domain, mainly covering the emerged ECL available MeNCs, unique chemical and optical properties, and the general ECL mechanisms. Synthesis strategies for desirable ECL performance are further highlighted, and the resulting ECL sensing applications utilizing MeNCs as luminophores, quenchers, and substrates are discussed systematically. Finally, we anticipate the future prospects and challenges in the development of this area.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing can realize almost any designed geometry, enabling the fabrication of innovative products for advanced applications. Local electrochemical plating is a powerful approach for additive manufacturing of metal microstructures; however, previously reported data have been mostly obtained with copper, and only a few cases have been reported with other elements. In this study, we assessed the ability of fluidic force microscopy to produce Ni-Mn and Ni-Co alloy structures. Once the optimal deposition potential window was determined, pillars with relatively smooth surfaces were obtained. The printing process was characterized by printing rates in the range of 50-60 nm s-1. Cross-sections exposed by focused ion beam showed highly dense microstructures, while the corresponding face scan with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy spectra revealed a uniform distribution of alloy components.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs), including Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Ni and alloy NCs, have become more and more popular sensor probes with good solubility, biocompatibility, size-dependent luminescence and catalysis. The development of electrochemiluminescent (ECL) and chemiluminescent (CL) analytical methods based on various metal NCs have become research hotspots. To improve ECL and CL performances, many strategies are proposed, from metal core to ligand, from intermolecular electron transfer to intramolecular electron transfer. Combined with a variety of amplification technology, i.e., nanostructure-based enhancement and biological signal amplification, highly sensitive ECL and CL analytical methods are developed. We have summarized the research progresses since 2016. Also, we discuss the current challenges and perspectives on the development of this area.

Abstract
For improving the sensitivity of the electrochemiluminescent (ECL) detection and extending the applications of luminophore, the development of coreactant accelerator is one of the important ways. In this work, Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) were chosen as the luminescent material, and thiocholine, which was in situ generated by enzymatic reaction, was found to serve as a coreactant accelerator for Au NC-S2O82- ECL system. Based on this discovery, a highly sensitive detection of acetylthiocholine (ATCl) was achieved using the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor. CeO2 nanowires (CeO2 NWs) were used to improve the stability of Au NCs on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) due to the large specific surface area and good film-forming properties of CeO2 NWs. ATCl was catalyzed by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) to produce thiocholine, which served as the coreactant accelerator to improve the ECL signal of Au NC-S2O82- system. The biosensor obtained a low detection limit of 0.17 nM. The integration of thiocholine and Au NCs would provide a new ECL platform for bioanalysis. Graphical abstract ᅟ.
