A novel electrochemiluminescent emitter of europium hydroxide nanorods and its application in bioanalysis.

Abstract

The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) from europium hydroxide nanorods (EHNs) was reported for the first time using K2S2O8 as an efficient cathodic co-reactant, and an ultrasensitive ECL aptasensor based on the system for the detection of thrombin has been formulated successfully.
