Determination of nitrofurans in feeds based on silver nanoparticle-catalyzed chemiluminescence

► Silver nanoparticles could enhance the chemiluminescence of luminol-H2O2-nitrofurans system. ► Silver nanoparticles were used as the nanocatalyst. ► OH and O2−could be produced. ► The excited state 3-aminophthalate anion was the luminophor in the system.
