Semiconductor nanocrystals usually suffer from weak electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) emissions compared with conventional organic emitters. In this work, we propose, for the first time, a very convenient but effective way to greatly enhance ECL emission of semiconductor TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) by H2O2 and K2S2O8 as dual coreactants, generating ECL emission ca. 6.3 and 107 times stronger than that of K2S2O8 or H2O2 as an individual coreactant, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectral studies were carried out to investigate the ECL enhancement mechanism. The ECL enhancement of TiO2 NTs by the K2S2O8-H2O2 system was supposed to originate from the coordination of H2O2 to the TiO2 surface and the synergy effect between H2O2 and K2S2O8 in the ECL process. The coordination of H2O2 to the surface of TiO2 could stabilize the electrogenerated coreactant-related radical OH center dot (hydroxyl radical), which could obviously promote the amount of sulfate radical anion (SO4 center dot-) near the electrode surface by inducing decomposition of K2S2O8 into SO4 center dot- or inhibiting the consumption of SO4 center dot- by its reaction with H2O. The holes (he) released from SO4 center dot- were injected into the valence band of TiO2, resulting in more TiO2+ which combined with the electrons coming from the conduction band with an enhanced light emission. Moreover, this enhancement effect was also applicable to ECL of a CdS nanocrystal film on a glass carbon electrode, with ca. 2.74- and 148.3-fold enhanced ECL intensity correspondingly, indicating wide applications in the development of semiconductor nanocrystal-based ECL biosensors.
