Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous polymers with the characteristics of a large specific surface area, controllable pore structures, high stability, and low mass density. Herein, we demonstrate the development of an exogenous coreactant-free electrochemiluminescent sensor based on a hydrazone-linked COF for sensing glucose. We synthesized a TFPPy-DMeTHz-COF with the hydrazone bond as the linkage and 2,5-dimethoxyterephthalohydrazide (DMeTHz) and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)pyrene (TFPPy) as the monomers. The obtained TFPPy-DMeTHz-COF exhibits high electrochemiluminescence (ECL) efficiency (21.7%) without either the addition of any coreactants or the removal of dissolved O, and the ECL signal intensity of the TFPPy-DMeTHz-COF is 6.6 and 113-fold higher than those of TFPPy and DMeTHz, respectively. The enhanced ECL emission of the TFPPy-DMeTHz-COF is induced by OH in PBS, and the ECL signal exhibits linear dependence on the pH value in the range from 3 to 10. When glucose is present, the addition of glucose oxidase (GOx) to the O-containing solution generates gluconic acid, and the resultant gluconic acid can induce the decrease of the pH value and the quenching of the ECL emission of the TFPPy-DMeTHz-COF. This exogenous coreactant-free electrochemiluminescent sensor exhibits good selectivity, excellent stability, and high sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.031 μM, and it can accurately detect glucose in human serum.

Low-potential and coreactant-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a promising approach to eliminate exogenous influences from interfering substances and coreactants. Herein, by exploiting the prestored-electron nature of n-type nanoparticles, low-potential and coreactant-free ECL was developed using 4-amino-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (AMPC)-capped AuAg nanoclusters, i.e.

Ru(bpy)/tripropylamine (TPrA) is the sole electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system, which is being extensively employed in commercialized In Vitro Diagnosis. The coreactant ECL of Ru(bpy)/TPrA is of a multiple-channel emission and wide electrochemical potential window nature. Herein, a coreactant-free and single-potential-channel ECL strategy is proposed with a biocompatible nano-electrochemiluminophore, i.

All of the commercialized electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassays are automatically conducted at +1.40 V (vs Ag/AgCl) in the coreactant route. To alleviate the exogenous effect of coreactants and simplify the operation procedures, herein, a sulfur-vacancy-involved and free electron strategy is proposed to exploit Au nanoclusters (NCs) as anodic electrochemiluminophores and perform a coreactant-free immunoassay.

Conventional dual-signal electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensors feature high sensitivity and reliability, but the involvement of coreactants inevitably results in a complex configuration and shows reproducibility risk. Here, we propose an exogenous coreactant-free dual-signal platform, comprising luminol (anodic luminophore), CdSe quantum dots (cathodic luminophore), and CoO/TiC electrocatalyst (coreaction promoter). At different redox potentials, CoO/TiC induces water oxidation and oxygen reduction to produce OH and O radicals, which subsequently drive cathodic and anodic ECL emission, respectively.
