Bipolar Electrochemiluminescence Imaging for Electroanalysis
摘要
The coupling between bipolar electrochemistry and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technologies has resulted in a fascinating field of the academic research, because the advantages of both techniques are often emphasized in their combined form. For instance, the light emission resulting from an electrochemical reaction typical of the ECL process can be exploited for reporting redox events occurring on a wireless bipolar electrode (BPE). In this chapter, we summarized recent trends of bipolar ECL imaging for electroanalytical purposes. These applications include the wireless detection and quantification of biological analytes exploiting ECL as the reporting technology, the measurement of potential and current gradients on BPEs with ECL, and the use of conducting polymers as electrode materials to trigger the ECL reaction.
