This work is to construct an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensor with improved accuracy for the detection of Cu2+. The improved accuracy is achieved by utilizing a reaction system to realize Cu2+ dose-dependent dual suppression of ECL recovery from gold nanoparticle-graphitic carbon nitride nanosheet naonohybrid (Au-CNNS) film. The ECL sensor shows sensitive response to Cu2+ in the concentration range of 5 nM to 500 nM with an enlarged slope, and high specificity attributed to the high affinity of CNNS-Cu2+ complex and the high catalytic activity of Cu(NH3)(6)(2+) to decompose H2O2 in the reaction system. The proposed ECL sensor with improved accuracy may prove valuable in future biomedical applications.
