Abstract
An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for highly sensitive detection of diphenhydramine was developed by employing tris (2,2-bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) as the detector. The ECL sensor was fabricated by immobilizing ECL reagent Ru (bpy)32+ on the poly-(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) and polystyrene sulfonate composite film (PEDOT-PSS) modified indium tin oxides (ITO) electrode by electrostatic attraction strategy. The ECL sensor showed an increased ECL intensity in the presence of diphenhydramine. The increased ECL intensity was direct proportion to the concentration of diphenhydramine over a range from 5.0 ×10-4 to 5.0 ×10-6 mol/L. The detection limit for the detection of diphenhydramine was 1.0 ×10-6 mol/L. Fabrication of the ECL sensor by this method is simple and easy, and hence has potential applications in the field of ECL analysis and detection.
