Developing excellent strategies to optimize the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance of CN materials remains a challenge due to the electrode passivation, causing weak and unstable light emission. A strategy of controlling the calcination atmosphere was proposed to improve the ECL performance of CN nanotubes. Interestingly, we found that calcination atmosphere played a key role in specific surface area, pore-size and crystallinity of CN nanotubes.

However, achieving efficient TADF emitters suitable for aqueous TADF-ECL remains challenging. A previous strategy relied on TADF small molecular nanoparticles (NPs).

However, restricted by the physical nature of fluorescence, current organic AIE luminogen-based ECL (AIECL) faces the bottleneck of low ECL efficiency. Here, we propose to construct aqueous ECL based on aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence (AIDF) luminogens, called AIDF-ECL.
