Abstract.

A mass-producible electro-chemiluminescence (ECL)-based sensor was constructed by immobilizing tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)3 2+) on a carbon electrode using a screen-print (thick film) technique. The sensor was prepared by the following steps: First, the carbon ink was deposited to the epoxy substrate to form a conducting layer, then the mixture of carbon ink and Nafion-Ru(bpy)3 2+ composite was deposited onto the “working area” of this electrode. The last step was the formation of the Nafion protecting polymer on the electrode surface. The sensor was characterized with tri-n-propylamine (TPA) as a co-reactant. The results indicated that the sensor exhibited an excellent electrochemical performance and ECL behaviour with good stability. The applications of the sensor to the ECL determination of benzhexol and procyclidine is reported.
