Efficient quenching electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of the tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)/tripropylamine (Ru(bpy)3 2+ /TPrA) system by a novel quencher, sodium diphenylamine-4-sulfonate (SDS), has been investigated. The quenching behaviors can be observed with a 100-fold excess of SDS over Ru(bpy)3 2+ . The mechanism of quenching is believed to involve energy transfer from the excited-state Ru(bpy)3 2+ * to the dimer of SDS, which was formed after the electrochemical oxidation of SDS at the electrode surface. Photoluminescence experiments coupled with bulk electrolysis support formation of the SDS dimer upon electrochemical oxidation.

Prediction systems are an important aspect of intelligent decisions. In engineering practice, the complex system structure and the external environment cause many uncertain factors in the model, which influence the modeling accuracy of the model. The belief rule base (BRB) can implement nonlinear modeling and express a variety of uncertain information, including fuzziness, ignorance, randomness, etc. However, the BRB system also has two main problems: Firstly, modeling methods based on expert knowledge make it difficult to guarantee the model's accuracy. Secondly, interpretability is not considered in the optimization process of current research, resulting in the destruction of the interpretability of BRB. To balance the accuracy and interpretability of the model, a self-growth belief rule base with interpretability constraints (SBRB-I) is proposed. The reasoning process of the SBRB-I model is based on the evidence reasoning (ER) approach. Moreover, the self-growth learning strategy ensures effective cooperation between the datadriven model and the expert system. A case study showed that the accuracy and interpretability of the model could be guaranteed. The SBRB-I model has good application prospects in prediction systems.
