Abstract.

A new method for enhancing the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity of the Ru(bpy)3 2+/ oxalate system is presented. When a platinum net was used as a working electrode and a platinum foil as an auxiliary electrode, the ECL intensity of the system was enhanced greatly. In addition, a cathodic peak appeared at 0.18 V (vs. SCE) on a platinum net electrode, and ECL of the system was observed at 0.18 V.
