Abstract
Ternary metal sulfide semiconductors demonstrate considerable potential for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) applications, because of their high charge carrier mobility and good stability. Herein, CdIn2S4 was innovatively employed as a luminescent material owing to its excellent near-infrared (NIR) ECL emission. Its narrow bandgap, excellent solubility, and stability in aqueous solutions prevented electrode passivation and enhanced the ECL intensity, efficiency, and stability. The MOF-199 nanomaterial featuring a pyramid structure was employed as a quenching probe, exhibiting a dual-quenching effect based on electron and ECL energy transfers, facilitated by energy-level matching and spectral overlapping with luminescent CdIn2S4. The dual-quenching strategy considerably enhanced the quenching efficiency of the probe. Therefore, based on CdIn2S4 exhibiting an excellent luminescence performance and MOF-199 demonstrating an exceptional quenching effect, a novel quenching-type sandwich immunosensor was developed for the sensitive detection of D-dimers. The detection limit of the sensor was 8.51 fg/mL. Furthermore, the sensor exhibited excellent specificity, reproducibility, and stability. The proposed approach offers a novel theoretical framework and methodological guidance for the detection of biomarkers and, provides valuable insights for the development of new luminescent materials.
