The paper successfully transformed the flash-type system of luminol into a long-lasting chemiluminescence system by loading Cu(II)-based organic complex on the paper substrate, achieving a long-lasting emission of over 30 minutes. By controlling the amount of water in the synthesis process, the morphology of the complex can be adjusted, thus controlling the luminescent effect.
As most of the known systems are flashtype, long-lasting chemiluminescence (CL) emissions are extremely needed for the application of cold light sources, accurate CL quantitative analysis, and biological mapping. In this work, the flashtype system of luminol was altered to a long lasting CL system just because of the paper substrate. The Cu(II)-based organic complex was loaded on the paper surface, which can trigger luminol-H2O2 to produce a long lasting CL emission for over 30 min. By using 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (PDA) as the ligand, a hexacoordinated Cu(II)-based organic complex was synthesized by the simple freeze-drying method. It is interesting that the complex morphology can be controlled by adding different amounts of water in the synthesizing procedure. The complex with a certain size can be definitely trapped in the pores of the cellulose. Then, slow diffusion, which can be attributed to the long lasting CL emission, was produced. With the high catalytic activity of the complex, reactive oxygen species from H2O2 was generated and was responsible for the high CL intensity. By using the paper substrate, the flash-type luminol system can be easily transferred to the long-duration CL system without any extra reagent. This long-lasting emission system was used for hydrogen sulfide detection by the CL imaging method. This paper-based sensor has great potential for CL imaging in the clinical field in the future.
