In the present study, the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties of Gd(OH) nanocrystals with KSO as the cathode coreactant were studied for the first time. Based on the prominent ECL behavior of this material and the excellent specificity of the aptamer technique, an ECL aptasensor for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) was formulated successfully. Over an OTA concentration range of 0.01 pg mL to 10 ng mL, the change in the ECL signal was highly linear with the OTA concentration, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.0027 pg mL. Finally, the ECL aptasensor was further used to detect OTA in real samples (grapes and corn) and satisfactory results were obtained, which indicated that the built method is expected to be applied in food detection.

Among the various aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) assays, performing accurate detection is difficult because false positives and false negatives are frequent due to limited sensitivity, expensive equipment, or inadequate pretreatment during operation. Here, an "off-on" switch-type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor armed with cobalt-sulfur quantum dots was encapsulated in hollow cobalt-layered double hydroxide nanocages as an enhanced luminescent probe (Co-LDH@QDs), and a ferrocene-modified aptamer (Fc-APT) was used as a luminescent quencher. In general, when Fc-APT was hybridized with complementary DNA modified with a DNA nanotetrahedron, electron transfer between ferrocene and Co-LDH@QDs was facilitated, leading to efficient quenching of the ECL intensity into an "off" state in the absence of AFB1.

In this study, an electroluminescent (ECL) aptasensor that could efficiently and sensitively detect acetamiprid (ACE) in vegetables was constructed based on an exonuclease-assisted target cycling amplification strategy. Bimetallic RuZn-based metal-organic framework (RuZn-MOF), nucleic acid exonuclease VII (Exo VII) and tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) were used as constituent materials. First, RuZn-MOF was a substrate material with good luminescence performance and was synthesized by a hydrothermal method.

An efficient "on-off-on" electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor utilizing dual-mechanism quenching was constructed for detecting furanyl fentanyl (FuF). The first signal "on" state was achieved by novel dual-ligand zinc metal-organic frameworks (Zn-MOFs), which were synthesized by self-assembly reaction using zinc atom clusters as metal nodes, achieving strong and stable ECL emission. The "off" state was realized by the energy and electron quenching effect of copper-doped WO.

Exploring novel and sensitive analysis methods for monitoring lincomycin (Lin) residues is of great significance since overuse of it would cause a serious threat to public health. Herein, a Zr-porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (Zr-TCPP) with covalently modified polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers was synthesized as a novel intramolecular self-enhanced ECL reagent, which exhibited greatly improved ECL response due to the promotion of SO generation and the shortening of the electron transfer distance. Graphene oxide modified with gold nanoparticles (Au@GO) was synthesized as the quencher for the ECL sensor construction based on the quenching strategy.
