“…Among various ECL systems, the development of highly effective luminophores is the key to building efficient sensing platforms. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging group of porous materials that are formed from building units through covalent bonds, which have been a hot issue in the ECL field because of their unique characteristics such as abundant porosity, excellent stability, and functional diversity. − In the previous work, our team integrated the 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTCA) in the COF structure as a luminophore with steady ECL emission (PTCA-COF), and in addition to lowering the cost, its outstanding characteristics also ensured the bioactivity of the sensor. Nevertheless, the limitations, including poor conductivity and low electron-transfer efficiency of COFs, resulted in poor signal strength of the system, limiting their further application in ECL sensors. , Consequently, significant efforts should be devoted to developing efficient signal amplification strategies to achieve high-performance ECL sensors.…”
