AgBr nanoparticles anchored nitrogen-doped graphene nanocomposites were designed to obtain enhanced electrochemiluminescence intensity and better stability, and further applied in electrochemiluminescence detection for the first time.

A unique heterophase ligand exchange induced etching process was used to transform gold nanoparticles into organic-soluble fluorescent gold clusters which were assigned to Au(8) by optical spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Both the annihilation electrochemiluminescence of fluorescent Au(8) clusters in organic solution and the coreactant electrochemiluminescence of Au(8) cluster film...
