Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence and Sensory Property of Rubrene Microparticles Immobilized on ITO Electrode

Abstract:

We have prepared the rubrene microparticles through a solvent evaporation process, during which the as-prepared microparticles were immobilized directly onto ITO electrode. It is found that the rubrene microparticles exhibit strong electrochemiluminescent emission in the presence of the co-reactant tripropylamine. The rubrene microparticles can be employed as an electrochemiluminescent sensor, chemically and biologically, for detection of methylene blue and glucose. This work demonstrates that the microstructured architecture of electroluminescent organic molecule is applicable as emitter in electrochemiluminescent sensor.
