Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochemistry, and more specifically, to a composite material and its application as a co-reaction promoter in a luminol electrochemiluminescence system. Background Technology

[0002] Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a highly sensitive and reliable luminescent detection technology. It involves injecting electrons or holes into luminescent groups or co-reactants, resulting in electron transfer reactions between active intermediates and free radicals generated on the electrode surface. Among various electrochemiluminescent luminescent groups, luminol has attracted widespread attention in ECL systems due to its advantages such as high emission efficiency, low oxidation potential, non-toxicity, and cost-effectiveness.

[0003] In traditional luminol electrochemiluminescence systems, hydrogen peroxide and dissolved oxygen are typically used as co-reactants to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for electrochemiluminescence. Hydrogen peroxide often reacts with luminol anions by generating ROS (such as singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide), leading to electrochemiluminescence emission. Antioxidants such as uric acid can compete with luminol for ROS; therefore, luminol electrochemiluminescence systems can be used to construct non-uricase biosensors for antioxidants such as uric acid.

[0004] However, hydrogen peroxide is unstable and prone to self-decomposition; while dissolved oxygen, although possessing high stability and non-toxicity, has limited solubility in electrolytes and is affected by atmospheric pressure and temperature. Therefore, it is often necessary to introduce various substances such as nanozymes, single-atom catalysts, and nanomaterials to assist in the catalytic generation of reactive oxygen species and the electrochemical oxidation of luminol. These factors inevitably limit the luminescence efficiency and stability of the luminol electrochemiluminescence system, hindering the practical application of the luminol-H₂O₂ and luminol-dissolved oxygen electrochemiluminescence systems. Existing technology (“Graphene-Modified Electrode Electrochemiluminescence Analysis for the Determination of Methimazole”) discloses a luminol electrochemiluminescence method based on an alkaline medium. The graphene primarily enhances electrode conductivity, while the hydroxide ions in the luminol system hardly participate in the reaction, failing to practically solve the problem of improving the electrochemical oxidation performance of luminol. Therefore, it is necessary to explore highly stable co-reaction promoters to enhance the performance of the luminol electrochemiluminescence system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention explores co-reactants with high stability and co-reaction promoters with high catalytic activity to construct an electrochemiluminescence system with high stability and high luminescence intensity, and provides a composite material and its application as a co-reaction promoter in a luminol electrochemiluminescence system.

[0006] The first objective of this invention is to provide a composite material.

[0007] A second objective of this invention is to provide the application of the composite material as a co-reaction promoter in the detection of antioxidants in a luminol electrochemiluminescence system.

[0008] A third objective of this invention is to provide an electrochemiluminescence system for detecting antioxidants.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following solution:

[0012] Tungsten can form high-oxidation-state oxides in oxidation reactions, which gives it high oxidation activity and promotes the oxygen evolution reaction. Furthermore, its strong synergistic effect with other metals enhances their catalytic activity, making tungsten oxides excellent catalysts.

[0013] Based on the reactive oxygen species-mediated electrochemiluminescence mechanism, this invention proposes a novel method to improve the electrochemiluminescence performance of luminol-based electrochemiluminescence systems. A luminol-hydroxide electrochemiluminescence system is established by using hydroxyl radicals as a co-reactant of luminol. Carbon-modified nickel-doped tungsten oxide (Ni-WOx-CNT) is added as a co-reaction promoter, effectively catalyzing the generation of reactive oxygen species from hydroxyl radicals in a low cyclic voltammetric potential range (0V–0.2V), thereby improving the electrochemiluminescence performance of luminol.

[0014] This invention confirms that reactive oxygen species are formed during the electrochemical oxidation of hydroxide ions, subsequently reacting with luminol anion radicals to trigger a strong electrochemiluminescence signal, which maintains extremely high stability in 1300 consecutive tests.

Then, 30 mg of carbon nanotubes (purity >98%, length 4 nm–6 nm, final concentration 1 mg / mL) were added and stirred for 10 minutes to form a homogeneous suspension.

The powdered reactant was collected, washed three times with water, then three times with ethanol, and finally dried in a vacuum oven at 70 °C for 12 hours to obtain the final product.

[0126] like Figure 6As shown in Figure A, the addition of thiourea, benzoquinone, and tryptophan quenched the electrochemiluminescence intensity by 45.9%, 62.3%, and 65%, respectively, further demonstrating the presence of hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, and superoxide radicals in the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of this invention. Figure 6 As shown in B, the intermediate substances in the electrochemiluminescence process were monitored by in-situ Raman spectroscopy at 1140 cm⁻¹. -1 The nearby peak can be attributed to the OO stretching vibration of the superoxide radical, indicating that the electrochemical reduction of hydroxide ions to generate reactive oxygen species occurs at 0.2 V during the positive electrochemical cyclic voltammetry scan.

[0127] The above results indicate that, unlike other ECL systems based on dissolved oxygen, the active oxygen source of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system established in this invention is hydroxyl, and is unrelated to dissolved oxygen in the solution.

[0128] 3. Luminescence mechanism of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system

[0129] Based on the above results, a schematic diagram of the electrochemiluminescence process of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system is shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the details are as follows:

[0146] The co-reaction accelerator Ni-Wo prepared in Example 1 x -CNT, follow the steps of Example 1, step 3, "Construction and Evaluation of Luminol-Hydroxide Electrochemiluminescence System", for subsequent experiments, the only difference being that the temperature of the electrolyte in the reaction cell is set to 20℃, 30℃ or 40℃ respectively.

[0147] 3. Parameters of electrochemical cyclic voltammetry test

[0148] (1) Voltage

[0149] The co-reaction accelerator Ni-Wo prepared in Example 1 x -CNT, follow the steps of Example 1, step 3, "Construction and Evaluation of Luminol-Hydroxide Electrochemiluminescence System", for subsequent experiments, with the only difference being that the voltage range of the cyclic voltammetry scan is set to 0V~0.2V, 0V~0.3V, 0V~0.4V or 0V~0.5V.

[0154] II. Experimental Results

[0155] 1. Co-reaction accelerator

[0156] (1) Dosage of nickel chloride

[0157] like Figure 8 As shown, in the absence of nickel chloride (i.e., the concentration of the nickel chloride ethanol solution is 0 mg / mL), the synthesized co-reactant accelerator (denoted as WO) x The peaks of -CNT are attributed to WO2 (JCPDS#32-1393) and WO3 (JCPDS#32-1394). For example... Figure 9 As shown in A, when nickel chloride is not used, the synthesized co-reactant accelerator (denoted as WO) x -CNT), ECL strength as low as 8500 (au). Figure 10 The A in WO x -Scanning electron microscope images of CNTs, from which WO can be seen x -CNTs have uneven particle morphology.

[0158] like Figure 9 As shown in Figure A, the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system gradually increased as the final concentration of nickel chloride increased from 1 mg / mL to 3 mg / mL. This indicates that the addition of nickel enhanced the synergistic effect between nickel and tungsten, thereby strengthening the Ni-WO3 electrochemiluminescence system. x The catalytic activity of -CNTs enhances the electrochemiluminescence performance of the system; with the synthesis of Ni-WO3... x With further increases in the amount of nickel chloride used in CNT (i.e., increasing the final concentration of nickel chloride from 3 mg / mL to 7 mg / mL), the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system decreased slightly, but the overall luminescence intensity remained above 32054 (au) and did not show significant decay.

[0159] Therefore, overall, the final concentration of nickel chloride in the synthesized Ni-WO3 is 1 mg / mL to 7 mg / mL. x -CNTs can all be used as co-reactants and promoters in the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of this invention, wherein the final concentration of nickel chloride is 3 mg / mL for the synthesis of Ni-Wo. x -CNTs have the best effect in promoting the reaction.

[0160] (2) Amount of carbon nanotubes

[0161] like Figure 11 As shown, the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system using carbon nanotubes alone as a co-reactant promoter is extremely low (only about 470 a.u.), indicating that carbon nanotubes have no significant effect on the electrochemiluminescence performance of the luminol-hydroxyl system.

[0162] like Figure 9 As shown in B, in three consecutive tests, the co-reaction promoter (denoted as Ni-WO) obtained without the addition of carbon nanotubes during synthesis (i.e., the concentration of carbon nanotubes was 0 mg / mL) was used. x At that time, the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system was as low as 6375 (au). Figure 10 B in the text is Ni-WO x The scanning electron microscope image shows Ni-WO x Its morphology consists of irregularly shaped granules of varying sizes. For example... Figure 12 As shown in A to D, after measurement, Ni-WO x The precipitate from the modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface into the electrolyte is the main reason for the poor stability of the luminol-hydroxyl system.

[0163] like Figure 9As shown in Figure B, the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system gradually increased with the increase of carbon nanotube concentration from 0.3 mg / mL to 1 mg / mL. This increase was further observed with the synthesis of Ni-WO4. x With further increases in the amount of carbon nanotubes used in CNTs (i.e., the concentration of carbon nanotubes increased from 1 mg / mL to 1.6 mg / mL), the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system decreased slightly, but the overall luminescence intensity remained above 27667 (au) and did not show significant decay.

[0164] like Figure 13 As shown in A to D, in three consecutive tests, the Ni-WO prepared in Example 1 was used. x -CNTs were used as co-reactant accelerators, but Ni-WO3 was not found. x -CNTs show a clear separation from the surface of the modified glassy carbon electrode, indicating that Ni-WO x -CNTs are firmly fixed to the GCE surface. This indicates that carbon nanotubes can enhance Ni-WO3. x - The adhesion between CNTs and glassy carbon electrodes is improved, thereby enhancing the stability of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system.

[0165] Therefore, overall, Ni-WO3 synthesized with carbon nanotube concentrations ranging from 0.3 mg / mL to 1.6 mg / mL... x -CNTs can all be used as co-reactants and promoters in the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of this invention, wherein the concentration of carbon nanotubes is 1 mg / mL when synthesizing Ni-Wo. x -CNTs have the best effect in promoting the reaction.

[0166] like Figure 14 As shown in Figure A, in the Fourier transform infrared spectrum, 3430 cm⁻¹ -1 The peak at that location corresponds to the hydroxide group and is associated with Ni-WO3. x In comparison, Ni-WO x The peak intensity of -CNT was significantly enhanced, indicating that NiWO x -CNTs more effectively promote hydroxide adsorption. For example... Figure 14 As shown in B, Ni-WO x -CNTs have significantly lower resistance than Ni-WO3. x The resistance indicates that the introduction of carbon nanotubes effectively promoted the Ni-WO3 synthesis. x -CNTs enhance electron transfer between the electrolyte and species such as hydroxides and reactive oxygen species, thereby enhancing Ni-WO3. x -CNT catalytic activity.

[0167] (3) Graphene modification

[0168] like Figure 15 As shown, Ni-WO3 synthesized by replacing carbon nanotubes with graphene. x -CNTs, as co-reaction promoters, maintained excellent stability in long-term testing of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system. With the aid of graphene, Ni-WO x -CNTs can adhere firmly to the glassy carbon electrode, preventing them from falling off.

[0169] 2. Temperature

[0170] like Figure 16 As shown in A and B, the electrochemiluminescence performance of the luminol-hydrogen peroxide system is greatly affected by temperature, and the ECL performance of the system varies significantly at different temperatures. Correspondingly, the dissolved oxygen concentration in the luminol-hydrogen peroxide system changes significantly at different temperatures, with the dissolved oxygen concentration decreasing at higher temperatures. This is the main reason for the reduced stability of the luminol-hydrogen peroxide system.

[0171] On the contrary, such as Figure 16 As shown in C, this invention uses Ni-WO x The luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system, with CNTs as a co-reaction promoter, exhibits electrochemiluminescence performance unaffected by temperature and maintains excellent stability at different temperatures.

[0172] 3. Parameters of electrochemical cyclic voltammetry test

[0173] (1) Voltage

[0174] from Figure 17 As can be seen from A, when the voltage range of the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry test increases from 0–0.2V to 0–0.4V, the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system increases and remains stable; as the voltage range of the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry test further increases to 0–0.5V and 0–0.6V, the luminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system becomes unstable.

[0175] like Figure 18 As shown, no obvious bubbles appeared on the glassy carbon electrode surface within the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry test voltage range of 0–0.4 V; however, when the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry test voltage range increased to 0–0.6 V, the number of bubbles increased significantly. To explore the effect of bubbles on stability, the electrode was removed and rinsed with electrolyte after one of the three measurements. Figure 19As shown in A and B, after removing bubbles from the working electrode (glassy carbon electrode), the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system maintains good stability in electrochemiluminescence intensity within voltage ranges of 0–0.5 V and 0–0.6 V. Therefore, the applicable voltage range for electrochemical cyclic voltammetry testing of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of this invention is 0–(0.2 V–0.4 V), and the optimal voltage range for electrochemical cyclic voltammetry testing is 0–0.4 V.

[0176] The above results indicate that increasing the excitation voltage promotes Ni-WO3 synthesis. x The catalytic reaction of -CNTs enhances ROS generation. High-voltage electrochemical cyclic voltammetry excitation can effectively promote the generation of active oxygen and accelerate the oxygen evolution reaction in water electrolysis. The generated oxygen is adsorbed on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode, hindering the Ni-WO3 reaction. x -The contact between CNTs and hydroxyl and luminol anions reduces the electrochemiluminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system.

[0177] Compared with the prior art (Table 1), the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of the present invention has a smaller applicable excitation voltage range, which is more conducive to reducing electrochemical side reactions in the measurement.

[0178] (2) Scan rate

[0179] In electrochemical reactions, low scan rates can enhance charge transfer and stability, but lead to slower reaction rates. On the other hand, high scan rates can accelerate reaction rates, but may compromise stability due to the limited diffusion of the electrolyte.

[0180] like Figure 17 As shown in B, with the scan rate of the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry test increasing from 30 mV s... -1 Increase to 50mVs -1 The electrochemiluminescence intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system gradually increased and remained stable without significant decay during continuous testing; as the scan rate was further increased from 50 mV s... -1 Increased to 70mV s -1 The luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence intensity increases, but it exhibits significant decay during continuous testing, indicating poor surface stability. Therefore, the appropriate scan rate range for electrochemical cyclic voltammetry testing of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of this invention is 30 mV s. -1 ~50mV s -1 The optimal scan rate for electrochemical cyclic voltammetry is 50 mV s. -1 .

[0181] 4. Long-term stability

[0182] Under optimal synthesis conditions (final nickel chloride concentration of 3 mg / mL; carbon nanotube concentration of 1 mg / mL) and electrochemical testing conditions (electrochemical cyclic voltammetry, voltage range of 0–0.4 V, scan rate of 50 mV s), the following conditions were met. -1 Under these conditions, the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system was subjected to 1300 consecutive tests.

[0183] Table 1 Comparison of different luminol-based electrochemiluminescence systems

[0185]

[0186] Note: a HEO: High entropy oxide; b Fe-NC: Single-atom iron catalyst; c DO: Dissolved oxygen; d No.: Number of stability tests; e I: Electrochemiluminescence intensity.

[0187] As shown in Table 1 and Figure 20 As shown, the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of the present invention maintains the initial electrochemiluminescence intensity after 1300 consecutive tests, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of only 2.76% (less than 5%), and its stability is far superior to that of the luminol system in the prior art.

[0188] Example 3: Application of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system in the detection of uric acid

[0189] I. Experimental Methods

[0190] 1. Uric acid testing

[0191] The luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system described in Example 1 can be used as a sensor to detect the uric acid content in a sample. The detection principle is as follows: Figure 21 As shown in A, specifically: uric acid itself has the property of scavenging free radicals (also called reactive oxygen species, i.e., ROS). When uric acid is added to the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of the present invention, it will neutralize some of the ROS generated during the reaction, reduce the amount of ROS that reacts with luminol, and thus reduce the ECL signal intensity of the system, thereby realizing the detection of uric acid.

[0192] The detection method is as follows:

[0193] 100 μL of the sample to be tested was added to the reaction cell, and the detection was performed according to step 3 of Example 1, "Construction and Evaluation of Luminol-Hydroxide Electrochemiluminescence System". The voltage range of the cyclic voltammetry scan was set to 0 V to 0.4 V, and the scan rate was 50 mV s.-1 The light signal was collected using an ultra-weak luminescence analyzer with the photomultiplier tube voltage set to 500V. The electrochemiluminescence intensity, cyclic voltammetry curve and electrochemiluminescence curve of each test material were recorded.

[0194] 2. Sample preparation

[0195] The present invention does not have specific limitations on the source of the test samples, including but not limited to bodily fluid samples such as blood, urine, and sweat. Furthermore, bodily fluid samples require no additional pretreatment; 100 μL is directly added to the electrolyte for detection after sampling.

[0196] In this embodiment, uric acid or other substances dissolved in an electrolyte (0.1M KOH solution containing 10μM luminol, pH=13.5) were used as the test samples to evaluate the detection effect.

[0197] 3. Evaluation of the detection effect

[0198] (1) Detection range

[0199] Different masses of uric acid were dissolved in an electrolyte to prepare test samples with concentrations of 0.1 μM, 0.5 μM, 1 μM, 2.5 μM, 4 μM, 5.5 μM, 7 μM, 8.5 μM and 10 μM, respectively, and the samples were tested according to the "Detection Method" in step 1 of this embodiment.

[0200] (2) Stability

[0201] The reference electrode, counter electrode, and modified working electrode from Example 1 were stored in a sealed environment at room temperature and in a dust-free environment for 30 days. The luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system from Example 1 was used for testing every 5 days, for a total of 6 tests.

[0202] Each test used a 4 μM sample prepared by dissolving uric acid in electrolyte (prepared fresh each time).

[0203] The stability of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of this invention was evaluated by comparing the results of each test.

[0204] (3) Specificity

[0205] The specificity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of this invention for uric acid detection was evaluated by using common reducing substances and metal ions found in human samples as potential interfering factors.

[0206] The specific information of the sample to be tested is as follows:

[0207] The electrolyte is referred to as sample Blank; the 4 μM sample prepared by dissolving uric acid in the electrolyte is sample UA; the 20 μM sample prepared by dissolving uric acid, ascorbic acid, dopamine, glutathione, cystine, glucose, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and pyruvate in the electrolyte is sample Mixture; the 20 μM sample prepared by dissolving ascorbic acid in the electrolyte is sample AA; the sample prepared by dissolving dopamine in the electrolyte... The sample with a concentration of 20 μM is designated as sample DA; the sample with a concentration of 20 μM prepared by dissolving glutathione in electrolyte is designated as sample GSH; the sample with a concentration of 20 μM prepared by dissolving cystine in electrolyte is designated as sample Gys; the sample with a concentration of 20 μM prepared by dissolving glucose in electrolyte is designated as sample Glucose; and the sample with a concentration of 20 μM prepared by dissolving potassium chloride in electrolyte is designated as sample K. + The sample to be tested, with a concentration of 20 μM, is prepared by dissolving calcium chloride in an electrolyte solution. 2+ The sample PA is prepared by dissolving pyruvate in electrolyte to obtain a concentration of 20 μM.

[0208] (4) Reproducibility

[0209] Following step 3 of Example 1, "Construction and luminescence performance evaluation of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system", ten Ni-WO3 electrodes were repeatedly prepared. x Using a CNT-modified glassy carbon electrode as the working electrode, the system was used to detect 4 μM uric acid samples prepared by dissolving uric acid in electrolyte. The results of each test were compared to evaluate the reproducibility of the system in detecting uric acid.

[0210] (5) Sample recovery

[0211] Sensor recovery tests were conducted in human serum, urine, and sweat diluted with electrolyte to investigate the effectiveness of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system in detecting uric acid in real samples.

[0212] II. Experimental Results

[0213] (1) Detection range

[0214] like Figure 21 B and Figure 22 As shown, in the range of 0.1–10 μmol L -1 Within the concentration range, the uric acid content in different solvents showed a strong linear relationship with the ECL intensity of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system (linear range: 0.1 μmol L). -1 ~10 μmol L -1 The detection limit for uric acid is 0.03 μmol / L.-1 (S / N = 3).

[0215] In this embodiment, the sample was diluted 100-fold before measuring the actual body fluid sample, indicating that the linear range of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system for detecting uric acid content in body fluid samples is 10 μmol / L. -1 ~1000mol L -1 It can completely cover the concentration range of uric acid in human samples (the normal concentration of uric acid in the human body is below 500 μmol / L). -1 ).

[0216] (2) Stability

[0217] like Figure 21 As shown in C, Ni-WO x -CNT-modified glassy carbon electrode (Ni-WO3) x The CNT / GCE and luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence systems showed no significant difference in six consecutive measurements (RSD = 4.1%, less than 5%), demonstrating significant stability and allowing for repeated use.

[0218] (3) Specificity

[0219] like Figure 21 As shown in D, ascorbic acid, dopamine, glutathione, cystine, glucose, potassium ions, and calcium ions have virtually no effect on the detection results of the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system.

[0220] like Figure 23 As shown in Figures A and B, the interference of ascorbic acid and dopamine on uric acid detection is reduced due to the reaction of large amounts of ascorbic acid and dopamine with potassium hydroxide. Furthermore, glucose, pyruvate, potassium ions, and calcium ions did not show significant interference on uric acid detection, indicating that the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system has high specificity for uric acid detection.

[0221] (4) Reproducibility

[0222] like Figure 24 As shown in Figure A, after the sample was stored at room temperature for 30 days, the electrochemiluminescence intensity was detected by the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system. The results showed that the electrochemiluminescence intensity did not decrease significantly during this period (RSD = 4.9%, less than 5%). Figure 24 As shown in B, by testing 10 independently manufactured Ni-WO x The CNT-modified glassy carbon electrode showed no significant difference in the electrochemiluminescence intensity of uric acid (RSD = 3.2%, less than 5%), indicating that the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system has good reproducibility.

[0223] (5) Sample recovery

[0224] Table 2 Results of spiked recovery tests in serum, urine, and sweat samples.

[0225]

[0226] As shown in Table 2, the recovery rate of uric acid detection by the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system of the present invention is between 96% and 109% in different types of body fluid samples, indicating that the uric acid sensor meets the detection requirements of actual biological samples.

[0227] In summary, the luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system established in this invention exhibits excellent stability, selectivity, and reproducibility in the detection of uric acid, and shows promise for improving electrochemiluminescence intensity and its application in biosensing.

[0228] Example 4: A luminol-hydroxyl electrochemiluminescence system for detecting uric acid
