Solid-state electrogenerated chemiluminescence in sol–gel derived monoliths
Abstract
Stable solid-state electrogenerated chemiluminescence has been achieved by trapping the chemiluminescent precursors, ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridine) and tripropylamine, in a porous silicate host matrix prepared by the sol–gel process and exciting them electrochemically via an immobilized microelectrode assembly.
