Abstract
Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) emission was observed from the water-soluble, bovine serum albumin (BSA)-stabilized Au nanoclusters for the first time. The possible ECL mechanism was discussed according to the presented results and ascribed to the effective electron transfer from the conduction-band of excited indium tin oxide (ITO) to Au nanoclusters (NCs). A simple label-free method for the detection of dopamine has been developed based on the Au NCs ECL in aqueous media. The Au NCs could be an effective candidate for new types of ECL biosensors in the future due to their fascinating features, such as good water solubility, low toxicity, ease of labeling, and excellent stability.
