Abstract
Emission enhancing effects in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) device of 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) dye-solution containing a mixture of highly scattering TiO2 nanoparticles were observed. We confirmed experimentally that there exists an optimum quantity of the highly scattering TiO2 nanoparticles assisting the emission enhancement in the ECL device of DPA solution. An agreement, between experiment and theory, of the optimum quantity depending on particle size of nanoparticles is discussed and confirmed.
