Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is highly recommended in chiral recognition. ECL-based chiral sensors highly desire a sensitive sensing interface for signal conversion and absolute chiral discrimination. The ECL emission based on a luminol-dissolved O system received much attention due to its nontoxicity and stability. However, the drawback of weak ECL emission hinders the fast signal conversion from chiral discrimination to ECL response. Herein, the amplification strategy of ECL emission is proposed based on the electrochemical reduction enhanced O reduction reaction (ORR). Cadmium sulfide decorated on carbon-nanotubes (CdS/CNTs) with easy synthesis, wide-pH operation, and suitable valence-conduction band position is employed. Upon cathodic scan, the electrons transfer from electrochemically reduced-CdS/CNTs to O and HO, thus accelerating the generation of reactive oxide species (ROS) and furthering ECL emission. Furthermore, the chiral ECL sensing interface is well-designed by combining the chiral recognition of D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) with the signal transduction and amplification of CdS/CNTs-enhanced ECL emission. During DAAO-catalyzed enantioselective-oxidations of alanine, the O is converted to HO, which tunes the ROS generation. With synergetic regulations of ROS generation by nano-derived CdS/CNTs and bio-derived DAAO, alanine enantiomers are highly discriminated and the L-alanine is quantitatively detected with the most competitive detection limit so far (0.014 fM).

Profiling multiple enzymatic activities in tissue is crucial for understanding complex metabolic and signaling networks, yet remains a challenge with existing optical microscopies. Here, we developed a Fenton-promoted luminol electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging method to achieve the spatial mapping of multiple enzymatic activities within a single tissue section. This method quantitatively visualizes individual enzymatic activity by combining the enzymatic conversion of substrates with the chemical confinement of the locally produced hydrogen peroxide.

Nitrogen doping enhances the catalytic performance of carbon-based metal-free electrocatalysts (C-MFECs) by modifying their chemical environment. Understanding the structure-catalytic activity relationship of nitrogen-doped (N-doped) C-MFECs is crucial for elucidating catalytic mechanisms and designing efficient electrocatalysts, but it remains challenging. Recently, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has shown great potential for uncovering these mechanisms due to its simple setup, low background signal, wide dynamic range, and high sensitivity.

Conventional polychromatic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging is realized with the several separated luminophores at the different potentials. In this study, an emerging polychromatic ECL imaging system was constructed based on single heteroligand metal-organic framework (MOF) crystals as nanoemitters through an intrareticular energy transfer process. The heteroligand MOF crystals, named h-NJU-241, were coassembled of meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) with 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)pyrene (TBAPy) ligand using benzoic acid catalyst with coordination ability, leading to the conjugated spacing of 0.

The development of convenient and highly sensitive methodologies for evaluating drug levels in serum is crucial for clinical diagnosis. As the most prescribed drug against hyperthyroidism, methimazole (MMZ) lacks the simple and rapid quantitative method. Herein, an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensor is proposed for MMZ detection using an aggregation-induced delayed ECL (AIDECL) active organic nanodots (ODs) as a probe.
