Bipolar electrodes are potentially useful for a variety of sensing applications, but their implementation has been hampered by an inability to easily monitor the current through such electrodes. However, current can be indirectly determined using electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) as a reporting mechanism. This paper provides a detailed theoretical analysis of ECL reporting at bipolar electrodes. In addition, experiments are described that confirm the theory. Finally, we correlate ECL intensity directly to current through the use of split bipolar electrodes. The results indicate that the lowest current that can be indirectly detected through ECL reporting is similar to 32 mu A/cm(2), which corresponds to a reporting sensitivity of similar to 7200 counts/nA in the present experimental system.
