摘要
We describe the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) processes of die Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) (bpy = 2,2/-bipyridyl)/tripropylamine (TPrA) system at glassy carbon, platinum, and gold electrodes. The electrochemical behavior of TPrA on different electrode materials and its influence on the ECL process are demonstrated. At glassy carbon electrodes, the direct oxidation of TPrA began at similar to 0.6 V vs SCE and exhibited a broad irreversible anodic peak, Two ECL waves were observed, one in the potential region more negative than 1.0 V vs SCE and one at more positive potentials. The first ECL process apparently occurs without the electrogeneration of Ru(bpy)(3)(3+), in contrast to that of the second ECL wave. At Pt and Au electrodes, however, the formation of surface oxides significantly blocked the direct oxidation of TPrA, An ECL wave below 1.0 V did not appear at Pt and was very weak at gold. The ECL peaks at potentials of 1.1-1.2 V were also much weaker than those observed at the Glassy carbon electrode. These results showed that the direct oxidation of TPrA played an important role in the ECL processes. Therefore, the enhancement of the TPrA oxidation current might lead to an increase in the ECL intensity. Small amounts of halide species were found to inhibit the growth of surface oxides on Pt and gold electrodes and led to an obvious increase of TPrA oxidation current. The anodic dissolution of gold in halide-containing solution was also important in activating the gold electrode surface. The electrochemical catalytic effect of bromide further promoted the oxidation of TPrA, A halide effect on ECL at Pt and Au electrodes was also evident, The most effective enhancement of ECL was observed at Au electrode in a bromide-containing solution. This effect was also found in an commercial flow-through instrument (IGEN) and provided a simple way to improve the detection sensitivity at low concentrations of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+).
