Enhanced electrochemiluminescence efficiency of Ru(II) derivative covalently linked carbon nanotubes hybrid

Jing Li, Li-Rong Guo, Wei Gao, Xing-Hua Xia and Li-Min Zheng

The synthesized derivative Ru(bpy)3 covalently linked CNTs hybrid shows good electrochemical activity and ca. 17 times higher luminescence quantum efficiency than the adsorbed derivative Ru(bpy)3. The Ru-CNTs based ECL sensor exhibits high stability toward determination of TPA with a detection limit as low as 8.75 pM.
