Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) is a versatile signal transduction strategy widely used in the fabrication of chem/biosensors. However, this technique has not yet been applied in visualized imaging analysis of intracellular species due to the insulating nature of the cell membrane. Here, we construct a ratiometric ECL-RET analytical method for hypochlorite ions (ClO-) by ECL luminophore, with a luminol derivative (L-012) as the donor and a fluorescence probe (fluorescein hydrazide) as the acceptor. L-012 can emit a strong blue ECL signal and fluorescein hydrazide has negligible absorbance and fluorescence signal in the absence of ClO-. Thus, the ECL-RET process is turned off at this time. In the presence of ClO-, however, the closed-loop hydrazide structure in fluorescein hydrazide is opened via specific recognition with ClO-, accompanied with intensified absorbance and fluorescence signal. Thanks to the spectral overlap between the ECL spectrum of L-012 and the absorption spectrum of fluorescein, the ECL-RET effect is gradually recovered with the addition of ClO-. Furthermore, the ECL-RET system has been successfully applied to image intracellular ClO-. Although the insulating nature of the cell itself can generate a shadow ECL pattern in the cellular region, extracellular ECL emission penetrates the cell membrane and excites intracellular fluorescein generated by the reactions between fluorescein hydrazide and ClO-. The cell imaging strategy via ECL-RET circumvents the blocking of the cell membrane and enables assays of intracellular species. The importance of the ECL-RET platform lies in calibrating the fluctuation from the external environment and improving the selectivity by using fluorescent probes. Therefore, this ratiometric ECL sensor has shown broad application prospects in the identification of targets in clinical diagnosis and environmental monitoring.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:144-151.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors provide a convenient and high sensitivity method for early disease diagnosis. However, creating luminophore arrays relying on powerful ECL signals remains a daunting task. Porphyrin-centered metal organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit remarkable potential in ECL sensing applications. In this paper, based on a simple one-pot synthesis method, PCN-222@Ag NPs doped with CeO2 was synthesized to enhance the ECL performance. Due to the strong catalytic ability of CeO2, the ECL signal strength of the new material PCN-222@CeO2@Ag NPs is much higher than that of the PCN-222@Ag NPs and PCN-222. The luminous properties of PCN-222@CeO2@Ag NPs become more intense and stable due to the excellent electronic conductivity of Ag NPs. Based on the fact that CuS@PDA composite can quench the ECL signal of PCN-222@CeO2@Ag NPs, we constructed a novel sandwich ECL immune sensor for the detection of phosphorylated Tau 181 (p-Tau-181) protein. The ECL sensor has a great linear relationship with p-Tau-181 protein concentration, ranging from 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL. The detection limit is as low as 0.147 pg/mL. This work provides new ideas for developing sensitive ECL sensors for the p-Tau-181 protein, the marker of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
In this work, europium ion-doped gadolinium trioxide nanocrystals (Gd2O3:Eu3+ NCs) were successfully synthesized and applied to construct an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. Compared with pure Gd2O3, the doping of Eu3+ ions caused enhanced ECL intensity and more stable signals. Based on the excellent ECL performance of Gd2O3:Eu3+ NCs, we constructed a new ECL sensing platform for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). The ECL sensor showed a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 1 nM to 1 pM, with a limit of detection of 0.12 pM (S/N = 3) for dichlorvos (DDVP). In addition, the constructed ECL sensor was applied for the detection of DDVP in vegetable samples, and good recoveries were obtained. The results indicated that the ECL sensor exhibited fantastic performance properties and had good application prospects in OPs detection.

Abstract
MiRNAs played critical roles in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) as potential biomarkers. Herein, an efficient signal "off-on" mode-biosensor based on electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) was successfully constructed for the miRNA-150-5p determination in TNBC. The ECL-RET regulated-sensing platform consisted of NiMn-LDHs nanoflowers, the artificially assembled phospholipid bilayers and hairpin DNA-labeled Eu-doped MoS2 QDs. Firstly, Eu-doped MoS2 QDs with high quantum efficiency were prepared as the ECL-RET donors. And NiMn-layer double hydroxides (LDHs) nanoflowers with wide UV-vis absorption spectra as the ECL-RET acceptors. Secondly, due to the hairpin DNA structure, the closed distance between ECL-RET donor-acceptor pair can quench the luminescence signal of Eu-doped MoS2 QDs. When miRNA-150-5p was captured, the hairpin DNA structure changed to a rodlike configuration and enlarged the distance between Eu-doped MoS2 QDs and NiMn-LDHs. As a result, the recovery of ECL signal can be observed as a signal "turn off-on" mode. Furthermore, the hydrophilicity of the lipid bilayer can reduce the nonspecific adsorption and improve the flexibility of the hairpin DNA efficiently. Therefore, based on the ECL-RET regulation strategy, the biosensor was employed to detect miRNA-150-5p from 10 fM to 1 nM with a detection limit of 1.5 fM. The constructed biosensor can effectively differentiate TNBC patient tumor and healthy breast fibroadenoma. The ECL-RET regulation strategy provided a new biosensing pathway for ultrasensitive detection of biomolecules and promoted the development of diagnosis and treatment of TNBC.

Abstract
The combination of the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technique with nanophotonics research can spark new analytical and sensing applications. Herein, we developed a novel modulation strategy of the ECL polarization angle based on the dynamically tunable few-layer metasurface. The bilayer metasurface consisted of a fixed Au-Ag core-shell nanocube array (Au@Ag NCA) layer with strong plasmonic hot spots and different amounts of the Au nanoparticles@MoS2 heterostructure nanosheet (0D-2D HNS) layer with strong metal-support interaction. Due to the interference and near-field coupling between layers, the bilayer metasurface can strongly redistribute the local electromagnetic field and energy in the ECL system, which not only significantly amplified the ECL signal but also modulated the polarization coupling angle. Therefore, the novel ECL polarization angle-resolved sensing strategy has been developed, which was beneficial to improve the sensitivity and resolution of ECL sensing. A dynamically tunable metasurface-based ECL biosensor was successfully used to detect the asthma-related miRNA-142-3p (miR-142-3p). Moreover, the simulation calculations of the electromagnetic field revealed the unique optical activity of the metasurface. This study brought the insightful understanding of the metasurface-modulated optical signal and provided a new idea to construct novel sensing platforms.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are often used as carriers in the preparation of electrochemiluminescent (ECL) materials, and ECL materials stabilized in the aqueous phase can be prepared by encapsulating chromophores inside MOFs by an in situ growth method. In this study, nanocomposites MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2@Ru(py)32+ with excellent ECL response were prepared by encapsulating Tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium dichloride (Ru(py)32+) inside MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2 using the one-step hydrothermal method. MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2 possesses abundant amino groups, which can accelerate the catalytic activation process of K2S2O8, and its abundant pores are also conducive to the enhancement of the transmission rate of co-reactant agents, ions, and electrons, which effectively improves the ECL efficiency. In order to obtain more excellent ECL signals, we prepared aminated biochar (NH2-biochar) using Pu-erh tea dregs as precursor and loaded gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on its surface as substrate material for modified electrodes. Both NH2-biochar and Au NPs can also be used as a co-reactant promoter to catalyze the activation process of co-reactant K2S2O8. Therefore, a sandwich-type ECL immunosensor was prepared based on a dual signal-enhanced strategy for the highly sensitive and selective detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Under the optimal experimental conditions, the sensitive detection of AFB1 was achieved in the range of 1 pg·mL-1~100 ng·mL-1 with a detection limit of 209 fg·mL-1. The proposed dual signal-enhanced ECL immunosensor can provide a simple, convenient, and efficient method for the sensitive detection of AFB1 in food and agricultural products.

Abstract
Herein, a well-matched energy donor-acceptor pair strategy was designed to construct highly efficient NIR ECL-RET system. In detail, an ECL amplification system consisting of SnS2 quantum dots decorated Ti3C2 MXene nanocomposites (SnS2 QDs-Ti3C2) as the energy donor were developed via a one-pot method, and the nanocomposites exhibited highly efficient NIR ECL emission due to the surface-defect effect generated by the oxygen-containing functional groups in MXene. Nonmetallic plasmon hydrated defective tungsten oxide nanosheets (dWO3•H2O) were utilized as energy acceptors because of its strong surface plasmon resonance effect in Vis-NIR absorption range. Compared with non-defective tungsten oxide hydrate nanosheets (WO3•H2O), the overlapping area between ECL spectrum of SnS2 QDs-Ti3C2 and UV-vis spectrum of dWO3•H2O was increased by 2.1 times, and the results showed that more efficient quenching effect was obtained. As a proof of concept, tetracycline (TCN) aptamer and its complementary chain were served as a bridge to connect the energy donor and acceptor, achieving the successful construction of NIR ECL-RET aptasensor. The as-fabricated ECL sensing platform exhibited a low detection limit of 6.2 fM (S/N = 3) within a wide linear range from 10 fM to 10 μM. Besides, the NIR ECL-RET aptasensor also showed excellent stability, reproducibility and selectivity, providing a promising tool to detect TCN in real samples. This strategy offered a universal and effective method in constructing highly efficient NIR ECL-RET system for developing rapid, sensitive and accurate biological detection platform.

In addition, COFs can accurately integrate organic structural units with atomic precision into ordered structures, so that the structural diversity and application of COFs can be greatly enriched by designing new construction units and adopting reasonable functional strategies. In this review, we mainly summarized state-of-the-art recent advances of the classification and synthesis strategy of COFs, the design of functionalized COF for electrochemical sensors and COFs-based electrochemical sensing. Then, an overview of the considerable recent advances made in applying outstanding COFs to establish electrochemical sensing platform, including electrochemical sensor based on voltammetry, amperometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, electrochemiluminescence, photoelectrochemical sensor and others. Finally, we discussed the positive outlooks, critical challenges and bright directions of COFs-based electrochemical sensing in the field of disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring, food safety, drug analysis, etc.

Abstract
In the present work, a novel approach was developed for the preparation of Cu2O nanoparticle decorated MnO2 nanosheets (Cu2O@MnO2). Uniformly dispersed Cu2O nanocrystals were produced on the surface of MnO2 nanosheets by in situ reduction under refluxing conditions. The unique structure of the used MnO2 nanosheet support played a vital role in the preparation of such Cu2O@MnO2 nanocomposites. The electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) resonance energy transfer can occur between the luminol/H2O2 system and Cu2O@MnO2 nanocomposites, resulting in a decrease of the ECL intensity, which can be used to fabricate an ECL sensor. Cu2O@MnO2 nanocomposite modified heterologous DNA/RNA duplexes were modified on the GCE to construct an ECL-RET system, leading to the decrease of ECL intensity. As a highly conserved damage repair protein, RNase H can specifically hydrolyze RNA in DNA/RNA strands to release Cu2O@MnO2 nanocomposites and recover the ECL signal. As a result, an "off-on" mode ECL sensor for sensitive RNase H assay was fabricated. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit of RNase H is 0.0005 U mL-1, which is superior to other approaches. The proposed method provides a universal platform for monitoring RNase H, and exhibits great potential in bioanalysis.

Abstract
The organic luminophores have inspired widespread interest in electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Herein, a novel rod-like metal-organic framework was formed by chelating Zn ion with 9,10-di(p-carboxyphenyl)-anthracene (DPA), defined as Zn-MOF for simplicity. In this proposal, the prepared Zn-MOF was first used as a powerful organic luminophore with low trigger potential, thus developing a competitive ECL immunoassay for ultrasensitive detection of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (D-H2) as the coreactant. The absorption spectrum of cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanosheets and the ECL emission spectrum of Zn-MOF could be highly matched, which ensured the occurrence of resonance energy transfer (RET). For that, ECL-RET was applied in the assembly strategy of the ECL biosensor, and Zn-MOF was used as the energy donor and CoOOH nanosheets as the acceptor. Taking advantage of the luminophore and ECL-RET, the immunoassay can be used for ultra-sensitive quantitative detection of 5-fluorouracil. The proposed ECL-RET immunosensor showed satisfactory sensitivity and accuracy with a wider linear range from 0.001 to 1000 ng/mL, and a lower detection limit (0.52 pg/mL). Hence, it is worth believing that this strategy can pave a bright research direction for the detection of 5-FU or other biological small molecules.

Dual-quenching effects of methylene blue on the luminophore and co-reactant: Application for electrochemiluminescent-electrochemical ratiometric zearalenone detection.

Abstract
Methylene blue (MB) is a common multifunctional indicator, which can be applied as a quencher for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analysis as well as a classical redox probe. Although it is relatively prevalent for MB to study the mechanism with Ru-based luminophores in ECL systems, there are few studies on the effects between MB and co-reactants. In this work, we proposed the first investigation of MB on the luminophore and co-reactant of the self-enhanced ECL composites (nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots on Ru(bpy)32+-doped silica nanoparticles, NGQDs-Ru@SiO2), respectively. The relatively narrow ECL spectrum of luminophore (Ru@SiO2) and the suitable ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum of MB led to the ECL resonance energy transfer between them, meanwhile the appropriate energy levels among them facilitated the electron transfer, resulting in a decreased ECL signal (quench mode I). Additionally, the co-reactant (NGQDs) was prone to π-π conjugation with MB due to its abundant π-electrons, which reduced the concentration of NGQDs' intermediates and triggered a weakened ECL signal (quench mode II). Therefore, the dual-quenching effects are ingeniously integrated and designed in one ECL-electrochemical (ECL-EC) ratiometric aptasensor for zearalenone detection, for demonstrating its efficacy in enhancing the sensitivity, which is 4.8-fold higher than Ru@SiO2 alone. This innovative ratiometric aptasensor achieved a relatively wide linear range from 1.0 × 10-15 to 5.0 × 10-8 g mL-1, and obtained a low detection limit of 8.5 × 10-16 g mL-1. Our proposed dual-quenching interactions between MB and NGQDs-Ru@SiO2 will open a new prospective for ECL-EC ratiometric aptasensor, which further broaden the application in sensitive and precise analysis of mycotoxins.

Abstract
Constructing robust and efficient luminophores is of significant importance in the development of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) amplification strategies. Inspired by the resonance energy transfer in natural light-harvesting systems, we propose a novel ECL amplification system based on ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET), which integrates two luminophores, benzimidazole (BIM) and zinc(II) tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (ZnTCPP), into one framework. Through disassembling and reconstruction processes, numerous BIM surround ZnTCPP in the constructed ZIF-9-ZnTCPP. Combined with the overlapped spectra between the emission of BIM and the absorption of ZnTCPP, the energy of multiple BIM (donor) can be concentrated to a single ZnTCPP (acceptor) to amplify the ECL emission of the acceptor. This work provides a convenient way to design an efficient ECL-RET system, which initiates a brand-new chapter in the development of ECL amplification strategies.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analysis has become a powerful tool in recent biomarker detection and clinic diagnosis due to its high sensitivity and broad linear range. To improve the analytical performance of ECL biosensors, various advanced nanomaterials have been introduced to regulate the ECL signal such as graphene, gold nanomaterials, and quantum dots. Among these nanomaterials, some plasmonic nanostructures play important roles in the fabrication of ECL biosensors. The plasmon effect for the ECL signal includes ECL quenching by resonant energy transfer, ECL enhancement by surface plasmon resonance enhancement, and a change in the polarized angle of ECL emission. The influence can be regulated by the distance between ECL emitters and plasmonic materials, and the characteristics of polarization angle-dependent surface plasmon coupling. This paper outlines the recent advances of plasmonic based ECL biosensors involving various plasmonic materials including noble metals and semiconductor nanomaterials. The detection targets in these biosensors range from small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, and cells thanks to the plasmonic effect. In addition to ECL biosensors, ECL microscopy analysis with plasmonic materials is also highlighted because of the enhanced ECL image quality by the plasmonic effect. Finally, the future opportunities and challenges are discussed if more plasmonic effects are introduced into the ECL realm.

Abstract
Based on the resonance energy transfer between CdS@CeO2 and Cu2O@PdAg, a quenching immunosensor for sensitive detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA) was constructed. The CdS@CeO2 heterostructure was obtained by in situ growth of CeO2 particles on the surface of CdS nanorods, and stable cathodic ECL emission was achieved using K2S2O8 as coreactant. Cu2O@PdAg was composed of Cu2O with tetradecahedral structure and bimetallic PdAg nanospheres and has a UV-V is absorption range between 600 and 800 nm. It overlaps with the ECL emission spectrum of CdS@CeO2, realizing the effective quenching of the ECL signal, which provides feasibility for subsequent practical application. The immunosensor exhibited good linearity in the concentration range 10 fg·mL-1 ~ 100 ng·mL-1, with a detection limit of 5.6 fg·mL-1. In sample analysis, the recoveries were 99.8-101%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 0.85-1.6% showing great potential and development value for the sensitive detection of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensors for organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) have received considerable attention, whereas complicated electrode's immobilization, response to single hydrolysate and anodic emission correlated with ECL assays restrict their potential utilization. Herein, we developed a homogeneous dual-response cathodic ECL system for highly sensitive and reliable analysis of OP using CdTe QDs as emitters. CdTe QDs, emitting red light, were fabricated through a hydrothermal reaction and generated anodic and cathodic ECL emission upon stimulation of tripropyl amine and K2S2O8, respectively. Notably, CdTe QDs-K2S2O8 showed a simultaneous response to thiol and acidic pH, and were regarded as a ECL sensor for methidathion with limit of detection of 0.016 ng/mL based on hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine into thiocholine and CH3COOH by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and OPs' inhibition on AChE activity. This sensor also exhibited good practicability to detect methidathion in Chinese cabbage. Overall, the sensor will supply more useful information for ensuring OPs-related food safety.

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
A macrocyclic tetradentate chelate Pt(II) molecule (Pt1) served as an excellent luminophore in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) processes. The blue ECL of Pt1/S2O82- coreactant system in N,N'-dimethylformamide was found to be 46 times higher than that of the Ru(bpy)2+/S2O82- system or 30 times higher than that of the 9,10-diphenylanthracene/S2O82- system. The unprecedented high ECL quantum efficiencies were caused by the cyclic generation of monomer excited states through collisional interactions of Pt1 molecules with the electrode at an elevated frequency. The ECL is tunable from bright blue to pure white by simply changing the solvent from N,N'-dimethylformamide to dichloromethane. The white ECL of Pt(II) molecule was reported for the first time and the mechanism was proposed to be the simultaneous emissions from the monomer excited state (blue) and excimer (red).

Abstract
In this paper, a novel analytical platform for the visual, sensitive and reliable analysis of mercury ions (Hg2+) is fabricated based on functionalized doped quantum dots. We synthesized a new specific nano-material, zinc dithiothreitol combined with graphene quantum dots (ZnNCs-NGQDs), by a simple and convenient method which, as an efficient luminophore, was then applied to construct an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system for the first time. Under optimized conditions, the ECL sensor showed an excellent response for Hg2+ in the linear range of 1.0 mM to 10 pM, with a low detection limit of 3 pM. Moreover, the proposed method demonstrated satisfactory selectivity, stability and acceptable reproducibility for the detection of Hg2+. The recovery of tap water and lake water samples ranged from 96% to 105%, indicating the potential applicability of the proposed method for monitoring environmental water samples. Meanwhile, visual attempts for mercury ion detection by using doped quantum dots have also obtained satisfactory results. Importantly, our research revealed a viable method for improving the sensitivity and convenience of target studies in sensing fields derived from functional material design.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) bioanalysis has become increasingly important in various fields from bioanalysis to clinical diagnosis due to its outstanding merits, including low background signal, high sensitivity, and simple instrumentation. Quantum dots (QDs) are a significant theme in ECL bioanalysis since their excellent optical, electrochemical properties, and ease of functionalization endow them with versatile roles and new mechanisms of signal transduction in ECL. Herein, this review details recent advances of QDs-based ECL bioanalysis by using QDs as ECL emitters, coreactants, or ECL resonance energy transfer donors/acceptors, mainly focused on their optical and electrochemical properties and ECL reaction mechanism. In the end, we will discuss the current limitations and future developments in QDs ECL bioanalysis to address the requirement about selectivity, sensitivity, toxicity, and emerging applications.

Abstract
Rabies is a serious zoonotic disease in almost all warm-blooded animals and causes fatal encephalitis. The detection of rabies virus (RABV) is critical and remains a significant challenge. Herein, an electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) and electrochemical (EC) dual-mode immunosensor was developed for highly sensitive detection of RABV glycoprotein. Dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs) were employed to load Ru(bpy)32+ and to obtain ECL probes (Ru@DMSNs). Ru@DMSNs were decorated on the electrode surface, followed by the modification of the RABV antibody (Ab1). RABV was specifically recognized and captured by Ab1, causing the decline of the ECL signal due to the obstruction of electron transfer. Additionally, manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnOx) modified with Ab2 can further quench the ECL signal of Ru@DMSNs via the RET between Ru@DMSNs and MnOx. Meanwhile, MnOx can catalyze the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (o-PD), generating a significant differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) signal as a second signal to monitor RABV glycoprotein concentration. Consequently, an immunosensor was developed to achieve dual-signal detection of RABV and improve reliability. Under the optimal conditions, detection ranges of 0.10 pg·mL-1 to 10 ng·mL-1 for ECL (with an 88 fg·mL-1 detection limit) and 1 pg·mL-1 to 2 ng·mL-1 for EC (with a 0.1 pg·mL-1 detection limit) were obtained for RABV detection. The reliability of this immunoassay was validated by eight brain tissue samples. The results were found to be compatible with the results of the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, indicating the potential applicability of this method for RABV diagnosis.

Abstract
Signal amplification provides an effective way to improve detection performance. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for Pb2+ detection was developed based on a dual signal-amplification strategy of the abscission of a quencher and the generation of a G-quadruplex by one-step and simultaneous way. Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots linked with complementary DNA (cDNA-NCQDs) at the sensing interface was applied as the quencher of a tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ru(dcbpy)32+)/tripropylamine system to minimize the ECL signal due to the intermolecular hydrogen bond-induced energy-transfer process. Upon the addition of Pb2+, its specific binding with the aptamer triggered the abscission of cDNA-NCQDs, accompanied by the formation of G-quadruplex on the surface of the electrode, both of which amplified the intensity of the light emission. The ECL amplification efficiency induced by the above two mechanisms (78.6%) was valuably greater than that of their sum value (69.3%). This synergistic effect resulted in high detection sensitivity of the ECL aptasensor, which allowed to thereby obtain Pb2+ measurements in the range of 1 fM - 10 nM with an ultra-low detection limit of 0.19 fM. The Pb2+-mediated synergistic signal-amplification ECL strategy can provide a new approach for integrating various amplification strategies.

Abstract
Due to near-zero optical background and photobleaching, electrochemiluminescence (ECL), an optical phenomenon excited by electrochemical reactions, has drawn extensive attention, especially for ultrasensitive bioassays. Developing diverse ECL emitters is crucial to unlocking their multiformity and performances but remains a formidable challenge due to the rigorous requirements for ECL. Herein, we report a general strategy to light up ECL-inactive dyes in an aqueous solution via grafting, a well-developed concept for plant propagation since 500 BCE. As a proof of concept, a series of luminol donor-dye acceptor-based ECL emitters were grafted with near-unity resonance energy transfer (RET) efficiency and coarse/fine-tunable emission wavelengths. Rather than the sophisticated design of new skeleton-based molecules to meet all of the prerequisites for ECL in a constrained manner, each unit in the proposed ECL ensemble performed its functions maximally. As a result, beyond traditional two-dimensional (2D) ones, a three-dimensional (3D) coordinate biosensing system, simultaneously showing a calibration curve and selectivity, was established using the new ECL emitter. This lighting up strategy would generally address the scarcity of ECL emitters and enable unprecedented functions.

Abstract
Development of nanomaterial-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters is highly desirable for the fabrication and wide applications of ECL sensors. Herein, nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) were easily synthesized as nanocarbon emitters with anodic ECL for sensitive ECL determination of catechol (CC). Facile synthesis of NGQDs was easily achieved using molecular fusion of a carbon precursor in a one-step hydrothermal process. The synthesis has advantages of simple and convenient operation and high yield. The as-prepared NGQDs have uniform size, good crystallinity, single-layered graphene structure, and excitation-independent fluorescence. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), NGQDs exhibit high anodic ECL owing to the presence of functional hydrazide groups. As CC could significantly reduce the ECL intensity of NGQDs, sensitive determination of CC was realized with a linear range from 100 nM to 10 μM and 10 μM to 60 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD, 42 nM). The determination of CC in environmental water was also achieved with high reliability. Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots are easily synthesized and can be used as nanocarbon emitters for sensitive electrochemiluminescence detection of catechol.![]()

Abstract
Herein, a novel and facile dual-wavelength ratiometric electrochemiluminescence-resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) sensor for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection was constructed based on the interaction between S2- and Cd2+-doped g-C3N4 nanosheets (NSs). Cd2+-doped g-C3N4 NSs exhibited a strong ECL emission at 435 nm. In the presence of H2S, CdS was formed in situ on g-C3N4 NSs by the adsorption of S2- and Cd2+, generating another ECL emission at 515 nm. Furthermore, the overlapping of the absorption spectrum of the formed CdS and the ECL emission spectrum of g-C3N4 NSs led to a feasible RET, thus quenching the ECL intensity from g-C3N4 at 435 nm. Through an ECL decrease at 435 nm and an increase at 515 nm, a dual-wavelength ratiometric ECL-RET system for H2S was designed. The sensor exhibited a lower detection limit of 0.02 μM with a wide linear range of 0.05-100.0 μM. In addition, the applicability of the method was validated by plasma sample analysis with a linear range of 80.0-106.0%. We believe that such a proposal would provide new insight into advanced dual-wavelength ECL ratiometric assays.

Abstract
This work focused on the construction of a nanomaterial-patterned structure for high-resolved ECL signal modulation. Due to the surface coupling effect, the different shapes and distribution states of surface plasmonic nanomaterials not only affect the luminescence intensity enhancement but also decide the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) polarization characteristics. Herein, tin disulfide quantum dots were synthesized via a solvothermal method as ECL emitters. Compared with other nanostructures, Au nanotriangle (Au NT) displayed both the localized surface plasmon resonance electromagnetic enhancement effect and the tip amplification effect, which had significant hot spot regions at three sharp tips. Therefore, self-assembled Au NT-based patterned structures with high density and uniform hot spots were constructed as ideal surface plasmonic materials. More importantly, the distribution states of the hot spots affect the polarization characteristics of ECL, resulting in directional ECL emission at different angles. As a result, a polarization-resolved ECL biosensor was designed to detect miRNA 221. Moreover, this polarization-resolved biosensor achieved good quantitative detection in the linear range of 1 fM to 1 nM and showed satisfactory results in the analysis of the triple-negative breast cancer patients' serum.

Abstract
We report here a method to determine target ion concentrations (with Na+ as a model) based on ionophores and electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Ruthenium bipyridine complexes were released from thin polymeric films (plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) also containing a sodium ionophore) into the sample solution following an explicit ion-exchange process (between Na+ and the ruthenium complex). Two signal transducers, tris(2,2'-(pCF3)bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(p-CF3-bpy)32+) and tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)dichlororuthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)32+), were examined using the sensing film, with the latter providing a more sensitive detection range (ca. 1 to 100 μM) than that of the more hydrophobic one (0.01 to 1 mM). While the ionophore (Na+ ionophore X) offered excellent selectivity to the method, the ruthenium complexes made the measurements independent of the sample pH. Furthermore for complex biological samples such as blood serum, an indirect approach of measuring the ECL of the remaining ruthenium complexes helps avoid background matrix interference to the ECL production at the working electrode, making the ECL method more attractive for real complex samples.

Abstract
Electroluminescence (ECL) has been used in extensive applications ranging from bioanalysis to clinical diagnosis owing to its simple device requirement, low background, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic range. Nucleic acid is a significant theme in ECL bioanalysis. The inherent versatile selective molecular recognition of nucleic acids and their programmable self-assembly make it desirable for the robust construction of nanostructures. Benefiting from their unique structures and physiochemical properties, ECL biosensing based on nucleic acids has experienced rapid growth. This review focuses on recent applications of nucleic acids in ECL sensing systems, particularly concerning the employment of nucleic acids as molecular recognition elements, signal amplification units, and sensing interface schemes. In the end, an outlook of nucleic acid-based ECL biosensing will be provided for future developments and directions. We envision that nucleic acids, which act as an essential component for both bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis, will provide a new thinking model and driving force for developing next-generation sensing systems.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) based on conjugated polymers or oligomers is persistently being pursued owing to its huge application scope ranging from ultra-sensitive bioanalysis to ultra-resolution imaging and spectroscopy. Because of the theoretical limit in radiative exciton generation yield (typically ∼25 %) of those polymers or oligomers, the corresponding ECL efficiency is still limited, which hampers its ECL performance and its related applications. Herein, we report ECL based on a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) polymer scaffold, which is characteristic of all-exciton harvesting in the ECL process, and thus potentially capable of achieving ∼100 % ECL efficiency. These desired properties of the TADF polymer ECL is attributed to a fast and efficient up-conversion process from non-radiative triplet to radiative singlet states under thermal activation, which is absent in conventional fluorescent polymers/oligomers, such as F8BT. In this study, various ECL modes, including annihilation or co-reactant mode using TPrA or S2 O8 2- as co-reactant, are confirmed for our model TADF polymer ECL system, which was different from fluorescent polymer ECL counterpart. Furthermore, solid-state ECL sensing on L-cysteine (an important marker of disease) is also evaluated by using the model TADF polymer. Ultralow detection limit in combination with high sensitivity and good specificity are achieved for this model system, indicative of a high potential of the TADF polymer scaffold for applications in the broad field of ECL.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) can be produced through two main routes: annihilation route and coreactant route. The vast majority of applications of ECL are based on coreactant ECL which can be generated in aqueous media at relatively low potentials compared with organic solvents. However, the development of more efficient ECL systems remains a compelling goal. Co-reaction accelerator (CRA) can significantly enhance the ECL signal through promoting more production of the coreactant intermediate. Compared with other ECL enhancement strategies, the CRA protocol is distinctive owing to its diverse, simple, and highly effective features. Various species such as inorganic compound, organic compound, and nanomaterials (NMs) have been developed as CRA and NM CRA has gained particular attention owing to their unique properties of excellent catalytic behavior and large surface area. By integration with the inherent advantages of ECL, bioanalysis based on CRA-enhanced ECL showed excellent performance such as ultrahigh sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low cost, simple instrumentation, and measurements in complex media. It has been extensively applied in various fields including clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Therefore, it is of great interest to present a systematic and critical review on the advances in ECL CRA. Herein, the recent progress on CRA and its applications in ECL bioanalysis are summarized by illustrating some representative work and a discussion of the future development trends of CRA ECL is offered.

Abstract
Being announced as one of the "2019 Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry" by IUPAC, the directed evolution of artificial metalloenzymes has led to a broad scope of abiotic processes. Here, inspired by those key proteins in bioluminescence, a rudimentary expression of bio-electrochemiluminescent (ECL) macromolecules was achieved via the complexation of zinc proto-porphyrin IX (ZnPPIX) within apo-hemoglobin (apo-Hb). A high-yield monochromic irradiation at 644 nm could be provoked potentiostatically from the reconstituted holo-HbZnPPIX in solutions. Its secondary structure integrity was elucidated by UV and circular dichroism spectrometry, while voltammetry-hyphenated surface plasmon resonance authenticated its ligation conservativeness in electrical fields. Further conjugation with streptavidin rendered a homogeneous Janus fusion of both receptor and reporter domains, enabling a new abiological catalyst-linked ECL bioassay. On the other hand, singular ZnPPIX inside each tetrameric subunit of Hb accomplished an overall signal amplification without the bother of luminogenic heterojunctions. This pH-tolerant and non-photobleaching optics was essentialized to be the unique configuration interaction between Zn and O2, by which the direct electrochemistry of proteins catalyzed the transient progression of O2 → O2·- → O2* + hυ selectively. Such principle was implemented as a signal-on strategy for the determination of a characteristic cancer biomarker, the vascular endothelial growth factor, resulting in competent performance at a low detection limit of 0.6 pg·mL-1 and a wide calibration range along with good stability and reliability in real practices. This simple mutation repurposed the O2-transport Hb in the erythrocytes of almost all vertebrates into a cluster of oxidoreductases with intrinsic ECL activity, which would enrich the chromophore library. More importantly, its genetically engineered variants may come in handy in biomedical diagnosis and visual electrophysiology.
