Acoustic Field Effect on Electrochemiluminescence of Organic Molecules in Solutions

Abstract

Electrochemical reactions in solutions causing the production of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) have been studied already for more than ten years^1–4. In the main the ECL mechanism is established, the main regularities of this interesting phenomenon are determined. The attention is paid to the ECL in connection with the fact that its radiation gives a vast information about the electrochemical reactions in solutions. Moreover on this basis an effective and convenient transformators of the electrical signals into light can be carried out (the quantum efficiency is 20% for some solutions⁵). As a rule the ECL experiments are made under conditions controlled by an ordinary or convective diffusion. In this paper the results of investigations of the ECL upon condition of great external disturbances of solution whic occure due to the applicatin of the ultrasonic fields to the cell are given. To our Knowledge suvh investigations have not been undertaken earlier.
