Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) behavior of luminol derivative was investigated in reduction on different electrode materials. We found that luminol and its widely used L-012 derivative, emitting at physiological pH values, exhibit strong cathodic ECL emission on iron and stainless steel electrodes with hydrogen peroxide, whereas no ECL signal was observed with other classic electrode materials (Au, Pt, and C). On a Ni electrode, a low cathodic ECL signal was observed. This points out to the essential role of iron-containing materials to enhance the cathodic ECL emission. Under the reported conditions, the cathodic ECL signal of L-012 is comparable to the classically used anodic ECL emission. Thus, dual bright ECL emissions with L-012 were obtained simultaneously in oxidation and in reduction on iron materials as imaged in a wireless bipolar electrochemistry configuration. Such an ECL system generating light emission concomitantly in oxidation and in reduction is extremely rare and it opens appealing (bio)analytical and imaging applications, in biosensing, remote detection, bipolar ECL analysis, and ECL-based cell microscopy.
