Abstract
The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass was high even under a low potential around 0.4-0.5 V, which was quite different from other electrodes such as platinum. ITO nanoparticles were synthesized and used in the research on ITO glass in the ECL process. A static interaction between ITO and luminol is confirmed from UV-vis and fluorescence spectra. Then the ECL enhancement can be supposed to originate from the adsorption of luminol on ITO, which facilitated luminol's oxidization to the excited state, giving out ECL. On the other hand, ITO can catalyze the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs), similar to some other nanomaterials, which also favored the ECL enhancement of luminol.
