Summary: Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are widely used as luminescent labels in food and medical analysis, and in combination with gold nanoparticles (GNs) as energy acceptors in Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) pairs to develop highly sensitive biosensors. The developed homogeneous FRET-based immunoassay for detecting deoxynivalenol (DON) demonstrates the potential of fast and high-throughput mycotoxin control with a low limit of detection.

Summary: This study proposed a novel ECL-based biosensor using gold nanoclusters coupled with graphene quantum dots as signal labels, supported on well-ordered Co3O4 nanoarrays as the sensing substrate. The biosensor showed good ECL response for detecting cardiac troponin I, with a satisfactory linear range and ultra-low detection limit. The rational design of this biosensor provides a clue for enhancing the ECL-RET model.

Summary: Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is chemiluminescence that is triggered by electrochemical reactions. ECL has become a powerful analytical technique widely used in biosensing and imaging due to its unique excitation mode and low background. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), as emerging ECL luminophores, have significant advantages over traditional molecular luminophores in terms of luminescence efficiency and signal modulation ability. Therefore, the development of an efficient ECL system using QDs as luminophores is important for improving the sensitivity and detection flux of ECL biosensors.

Summary: In this work, luminescent groups rich carbon dots (Lu-CDs) were synthesized by incorporating luminol into the CDs, resulting in a significantly enhanced electrochemiluminescent (ECL) performance. The ECL emission of Lu-CDs showed excellent consistency with its fluorescence emission, unlike other surface state-dominated CDs. Furthermore, Lu-CDs were used to develop an ECL biosensor for tumor cell analysis, demonstrating a wide detection range and low detection limit.
