Abstract

We demonstrate the first use of pure films of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides (Ti₃C₂T_x MXene) as an electrode material for electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL). The Ti₃C₂T_x MXene electrodes exhibited excellent electrochemical stability in the cathodic scan range and produced bright reductive-oxidation ECL using peroxydisulfate as a co-reactant with the tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(ii) ([Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺) luminophore.
