Abstract
In this study, we have for the first time constructed a ratiometric ECL biosensor for the ultrasensitive detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) using gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to trigger both the low-potential emission from conjugated polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl) dots (PFO Pdots) and the LSPR-ECL effect with sulfur-doped boron nitride quantum dots (S-BN QDs). PFO Pdots were first applied to the Au NPs-modified electrode, followed by covalent binding to capture the hairpin H1. Immediately thereafter, a small amount of miRNA-141 was able to generate a large amount of output DNA (OP) by traversing the target cycle. OP, H3-S-BN QDs, and H4-glucose oxidase (H4-GOD) were then added sequentially to the Au NPs-modified electrode surface, and the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was initiated. This resulted in the introduction of a large amount of GOD into the system, which catalyzed the in situ formation of the co-reactant hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from the substrate glucose. Due to the electron transfer effect, the production of H2O2 led to the ECL quenching of PFO Pdots. Meanwhile, H2O2 served as a co-reactant of S-BN QDs, resulting in strong ECL emission of S-BN QDs at the cathode. Furthermore, the cathodic ECL intensity of S-BN QDs was further enhanced by an LSPR-ECL mechanism between Au NPs and S-BN QDs. By measuring the ratio of ECL intensities at two excitation potentials, this approach could provide sensitive and reliable detection of miRNA-141 in the range of 0.1 fM ∼10 nM, with a detection limit of 0.1 fM.

Abstract
Metal ion contamination has serious impacts on environmental and biological health, so it is crucial to effectively monitor the levels of these metal ions. With the continuous progression of optoelectronic nanotechnology and biometrics, the emerging electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing technology has not only proven its simplicity, but also showcased its utility and remarkable sensitivity in engineered monitoring of residual heavy metal contaminants. This comprehensive review begins by introducing the composition, advantages, and detection principles of ECL biosensors, and delving into the engineered aspects. Furthermore, it explores two signal amplification methods: biometric element-based strategies (e.g., HCR, RCA, EDC, and CRISPR/Cas) and nanomaterial (NM)-based amplification, including quantum dots, metal nanoclusters, carbon-based nanomaterials, and porous nanomaterials. Ultimately, this review envisions future research trends and engineered technological enhancements of ECL biosensors to meet the surging demand for metal ion monitoring.

Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of the important biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP) is of great significance for monitoring inflammation and tissue damage. In this work, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor was fabricated based on dual signal amplification for the sensitive detection of CRP in serum samples. The sensor was constructed by modifying a silica nanochannel array film (SNF) on a cost-effective indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode using the Stöber solution growth method. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were grown in situ within the nanochannels using a simple electrodeposition method as a nanocatalyst to enhance the active electrode area as well as the ECL signal. The negatively charged nanochannels also significantly enriched the positively charged ECL emitters, further amplifying the signal. The recognition aptamer was covalently immobilized on the outer surface of SNF after modification with epoxy groups, constructing the aptasensor. In the presence of CRP, the formation of complexes on the recognitive interface led to a decrease in the diffusion of ECL emitters and co-reactants to the supporting electrode, resulting in a reduction in the ECL signal. Based on this mechanism, ECL detection of CRP was achieved with a linear range of 10 pg/mL to 1 μg/mL and a low limit of detection (7.4 pg/mL). The ECL aptasensor developed in this study offers advantages such as simple fabrication and high sensitivity, making promising applications in biomarker detection.

Abstract
In recent years, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has received enormous attention and has emerged as one of the most successful tools in the field of analytical science. Compared with homogeneous ECL, the heterogeneous (or solid-state) ECL has enhanced the rate of the electron transfer kinetics and offers rapid response time, which is highly beneficial in point-of-care and clinical applications. In ECL, the luminophore is the key element, which dictates the overall performance of the ECL-based sensors in various analytical applications. Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium (II) complex, Ru(bpy)32+, is a coordination compound, which is the gold-standard luminophore in ECL. It has played a key role in translating ECL from a "laboratory curiosity" to a commercial analytical instrument for diagnosis. The aim of the present review is to provide the principles of ECL and classical reaction mechanisms-particularly involving the heterogeneous Ru(bpy)32+/co-reactant ECL systems, as well as the fabrication methods and its importance over solution-phase Ru(bpy)32+ ECL. Then, we discussed the emerging technology in solid-state Ru(bpy)32+ ECL-sensing platforms and their recent potential analytical applications such as in immunoassay sensors, DNA sensors, aptasensors, bio-imaging, latent fingerprint detection, point-of-care testing, and detection of non-biomolecules. Finally, we also briefly cover the recent advances in solid-state Ru(bpy)32+ ECL coupled with the hyphenated techniques.

Abstract
Vesicles as a typical interface-rich microenvironment can promote the reaction rate and the intermediate stability, which are promising for introduction in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal amplification. In this work, a kind of multilamellar vesicle obtained from sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) was used to modify the electrode surface. The AOT vesicle-modified microenvironment could significantly enhance the ECL performances for the luminol/O2 system in a neutral medium. The mechanism study demonstrated that the nanoscale multilamellar vesicles could maintain the vesicle structure on the electrode surface, which substantially improved the electron transfer and reaction rate, luminescence efficiency of the excited-state 3-aminophthalate anion, and stability of the superoxide anion radical. Alternatively, such a multifunctional microenvironment was also able to enhance the ECL signals from the tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)32+)/tripropylamine (TPrA) system. Moreover, another dodecyl dimethyl(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide inner salt (DSB)-based vesicle was constructed to further verify the versatility of the vesicle-modified microenvironment for ECL signal amplification. Our work not only provides a versatile microenvironment for improving the efficiency of various ECL systems but also offers new insights for the microenvironment construction using the ordered assemblies in ECL fields.

Abstract
Researchers are constantly looking to find new techniques of virus detection that are sensitive, cost-effective, and accurate. Additionally, they can be used as a point-of-care (POC) tool due to the fact that the populace is growing at a quick tempo, and epidemics are materializing greater often than ever. Electrochemiluminescence-based (ECL) biosensors for the detection of viruses have become one of the most quickly developing sensors in this field. Thus, we here focus on recent trends and developments of these sensors with regard to virus detection. Also, quantitative analysis of various viruses (e.g., Influenza virus, SARS-CoV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis virus, and Zika virus) with a specific interest in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was introduced from the perspective of the biomarker and the biological receptor immobilized on the ECL-based sensors, such as nucleic acids-based, immunosensors, and other affinity ECL biosensors.

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
Bead-based assays are successfully combined with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technology for detection of a wide range of biomarkers. Herein, we demonstrate a novel approach to enhance the ECL signal by decorating micrometric beads with [Ru(bpy)3]2+-grafted microgels (diameter ∼100 nm). Rapid and stable light emission was spatially resolved at the level of single functionalized beads. An enhancement of the ECL signal of microgel-labeled beads by 9-fold was observed in comparison to molecularly linked [Ru(bpy)3]2+ beads prepared by a sandwich immunoassay or an amide bond. Imaging the ECL signal at the single bead level shows that the size of the ECL-emitting layer is extended using the microgels. The reported method offers a great promise for the optimization of bead-based ECL detection and subsequent development of ECL microscopy.

Abstract
Wireless electrochemical systems constitute a rapidly developing field. Herein, photoinduced electrochemiluminescence (PECL) is studied at Si-based closed bipolar electrodes (BPEs) for designing anti-Stokes systems that can convert IR into visible photons, without direct electrical contact. We show that protection of the anodic emitting pole of the BPE allows the triggering of bright and longstanding emission under the synergetic actions of an external bias and IR illumination. Photoactive n- and p-type Si BPEs are studied with front-side and back-side illumination, respectively, and nonphotoactive n+-Si BPEs are studied in the dark. Two electrochemiluminescent (ECL) systems ([Ru(bpy)3]2+/TPrA and L-012) are tested, and we show that the onset bias and the anti-Stokes shift can be controlled by the ECL system that is employed. These advances, rationalized by simulations, will be useful for the design of original PECL systems for chemical sensing or photodetection.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is the light production triggered by reactions at the electrode surface. Its intrinsic features based on a dual electrochemical/photophysical nature have made it an attractive and powerful method across diverse fields in applied and fundamental research. Herein, we review the combination of ECL with semiconductor (SC) materials presenting various typical dimensions and structures, which has opened new uses of ECL and offered exciting opportunities for (bio)sensing and imaging. In particular, we highlight this particularly rich domain at the interface between photoelectrochemistry, SC material chemistry and analytical chemistry. After an introduction to the ECL and SC fundamentals, we gather the recent advances with representative examples of new strategies to generate ECL in original configurations. Indeed, bulk SC can be used as electrode materials with unusual ECL properties or light-addressable systems. At the nanoscale, the SC nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) constitute excellent bright ECL nano-emitters with tuneable emission wavelengths and remarkable stability. Finally, the challenges and future prospects are discussed for the design of new detection strategies in (bio)analytical chemistry, light-addressable systems, imaging or infrared devices.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been widely investigated in recent years due to their outstanding physicochemical properties. Their remarkable characteristics allied to their capability of being easily synthesized and combined with other materials have allowed their use as electrochemical sensing platforms. In this work, we survey recent applications of GQDs-based nanocomposites in electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Firstly, the main characteristics and synthesis methods of GQDs are addressed. Next, the strategies generally used to obtain the GQDs nanocomposites are discussed. Emphasis is given on the applications of GQDs combined with distinct 0D, 1D, 2D nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), ionic liquids, as well as other types of materials, in varied electrochemical sensors and biosensors for detecting analytes of environmental, medical, and agricultural interest. We also discuss the current trends and challenges towards real applications of GQDs in electrochemical sensors.
