Bipolar electrochemiluminescence at the water/organic interface.

ABSTRACT: Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has emerged as a valuable tool for understanding multiphasic and compartmentalized systems, which have crucial wide-ranging applications across diverse fields. However, ECL reactions are limited to the vicinity of the electrode surface due to spatial constraints of electron transfer and the short lifetime of radical species, making ECL emission in bulk multiphasic solution challenging. To address this limitation, we propose a novel bipolar electrochemistry (BPE) approach for wireless dual-color ECL emission at the water/organic (w/o) interface. Firstly, amphiphilic glassy carbon (GC) microbeads with distinct hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions are prepared by bipolar electrografting of hydrophobic trifluoromethyl diazonium salt, then the resulting Janus beads
