Preparation and Electrochemiluminescence of a Graphene Oxide/Selenium Nanocomposite

A novel amplification system for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) was developed by combining graphene oxide (GO) and Se nanoparticles, in which the chitosan (CHIT) was used as improver. Based on a series of experiments, the influencing factors and mechanism for ECL emission were determined. Under optimal conditions, the GO/Se nanocomposite produced an intense ECL emission and maintained long-term ECL stability. Significantly, the electrode modified with GO/Se nanocomposite was used to detect the biomolecule dopamine (DA), and showed a linear range from 0.1 to 100 mu M, with a detection limit of 0.025 mu M.
