Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence at Diamond Electrode

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (also known as electrochemiluminescence and abbreviated ECL) is a complex phenomenon of luminescence triggered by electrochemical reactions where the heterogeneous electron transfer, then ECL as consequence, is affected by the electrode materials which is crucial in the signal development and intensity. Among electrode materials, doped diamond electrodes are still underdeveloped for ECL application especially compared to the more commons noble metals and other carbon-based. After a brief and general introduction on electrochemiluminescence, this chapter will focus on several studies and developments of doped diamond electrodes by taking advantage on its own unique properties as the electrode for ECL.
