In this study, a highly efficient electrochemiluminescent (ECL) coordination polymer, Au-Zn-DTBA, was synthesized by employing 2,2'-dithiodibenzoic acid (DTBA) as the luminescent ligand and Zn as the metal node as well as Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) as coreaction accelerators confined to DTBA via Au-S bonds for the construction of biosensors for sensitive detection of the biomarker of neurological disease, dopamine. Compared to the Zn-DTBA ECL system without a coreaction accelerator, Au-Zn-DTBA exhibits a 4-fold enhancement in ECL intensity, since AuNPs confined in Zn-DTBA could promote the coreactant KSO to produce abundant sulfate radicals SO for significantly enhancing the ECL efficiency of Zn-DTBA. As a result, an ultrasensitive ECL biosensor employing the Au-Zn-DTBA/KSO ECL system was developed for dopamine detection, achieving a low detection limit of 0.41 nM and outperforming most previously reported dopamine biosensors. This strategy demonstrates the significant potential of coreaction accelerators based on the confining effect, offering a novel approach for increasing ECL efficiency and expanding its application in clinical analysis.

Rational optimization of the pore size and topology of porous nanocarriers is crucial for improving the loading amount of luminophore and enhancing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance. In this study, an equimolar linear ligand replacement strategy was employed to synthesize novel mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for encapsulating Ru(bpy) (Ru@Zr MOFs) under room temperature without an acid modulator. Ingenious ligand substitution allows precise control of pore size, enabling encapsulation at the single-molecule level within mesoporous cages.

The high and stable signal intensity of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is crucial for establishing highly sensitive ECL biosensors. Here, nitrogen-vacancy/oxygen-doped carbon nitride (OCNNV-650) was first used as an ECL emitter, significantly improving the low ECL activity and poor dispersion of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) through a molecular engineering strategy. It is particularly noteworthy that FeO@MoS peroxidases, as coreaction accelerators, are the key to achieving the first and last "signals on", promoting the production of more SO and even promoting the production of •OH radicals when cholesterol is electrocatalyzed to produce HO.

This study presents the synthesis of a gadolinium-based metal-organic framework (Gd-MOF) via coordination between Gd ions and 1,2,4,5-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) benzene (HTCPB). Gd-MOF demonstrated pronounced aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) performance. With potassium persulfate (KSO) as a co-reactant, Gd-MOF exhibited a significantly stronger and more stable cathodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) response, with improved ECL efficiency compared with the HTCPB ligand alone.

Developing new high-performance electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters is a continuous hotspot. Herein, a novel AgNP-decorated porous organic polymer (AgNPs@ETTBC-BPyDAN-POP, BPyDAN = 2,2'-([2,2'-bipyridine]-5,5'-diyl)diacetonitrile) nanocomposite with coreaction accelerator amplification and covalent rigidification-enhanced ECL was prepared. AgNPs@ETTBC-BPyDAN-POP nanocomposite exhibited excellent ECL performance, not only because abundant AIE-active 4',4″',4″″',4″″″'-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl)tetrakis(([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carbaldehyde)) (ETTBC) luminogens were covalently assembled and rigidified into ETTBC-BPyDAN-POP network, which diminished radiationless transition, but also because AgNPs functioned as coreaction accelerators that expedited the generation of coreactant radicals, which in-situ react with adjacent ETTBC intermediates, thereby producing more ETTBC excited states for significantly enhancing the ECL emission.

3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTCA), as a typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), has become a special electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophore by virtue of its high quantum yield and excellent photoelectric properties. However, its aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect and high ECL potentials (usually greater than -1.5 V vs Ag/AgCl) limited its application.
