Here we report a novel solid-state ECL sensor for ultrasensitive sensing of glutathione (GSH) based on ferrocyanide-ferricyanide redox couple (Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-)) induced electro-chemiluminescence (ECL) amplification of carbon dots (C-dots). The electropolymerization of C-dots and (11-pyrrolyl-1-yl-undecyl) triethylammonium tetrafluoroborate (A(2)) enabled immobilization of the hydrophilic C-dots on the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) perfectly, while the excellent conductivity of polypyrrole was exploited to accelerate electron transfer between them. The Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-) can expeditiously convert the C-dots and S2O82- to C-dot(center dot-) and SO4 center dot-, respectively. High yields of the excited state C-dots (C-dots*) were obtained, and a similar to 10-fold ECL amplification was realized. The C-dots* obtained through the recombination of electron-injected and hole-injected processes may be impeded due to the interference of GSH to K2S2O8. Therefore, the constructed sensor for GSH showed a detection limit down to 54.3 nM (S/N = 3) and a wide linear range from 0.1-1.0 mu M with a correlation coefficient of 0.997.
