Abstract:
A highly stable electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensor based on graphitic carbon nitride (GCN)/Pb2+/polypyrrole (PPy) was developed to detect trace copper ions. The hydrochloric acid immersion technique was applied to rearrange PPy chains for the first time. Under optimal experimental conditions, the ECL intensity increased linearly with the increase of Cu2+ concentration in solution from 10-12 M to 10-6 M (1 pM to 1 μM), with a super low limit of detection (LOD) of 10-12 M (1 pM) (S/N = 3). Additionally, the impact of detection on the localized states of the composite nanomaterial was revealed by applying Vienna ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) and Gaussian 16.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
