â¢Novel carbon based materials have been used as a working electrode for electrochemiluminescence detection.â¢Biomass material was found to be an attractive working electrode material due to its porous structure.â¢An efficient, stable, cost effective and green alternate to traditionally used glassy carbon electrode for biosensor.
In this work, unconventional carbon-based materials were investigated for use in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) working electrodes. Precursors such as bamboo, pistachio shells, kevlar® fibers and camphor were differently treated and used as working electrodes in ECL experiments. After a proper process they were assembled as electrodes and tested in an electrochemical cell. Comparison among them and with a commercial glassy carbon electrode (GCE) shows a very good response for all of them thus demonstrating their potential use as disposable low-cost electrodes for early detection electrochemical analysis.
