Abstract

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) is an analytical process that is of fundamental interest for determining low concentrations of amino acids and related compounds (e.g., the broadband herbicide glyphosate). Nano zinc oxide or titanium (IV) oxide can enhance the analytical sensitivity by a factor of about 10.
