A novel composite, PEI capped N-doped carbon dots (NCDs@PEI), was prepared via a facile microwave-assisted method.
The as-prepared NCDs@PEI exhibited low toxicity and high catalytic effect to the anodic ECL of nanosheets.
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was introduced to accelerate electron transfer rate and amplify the ECL signal.
The fabricated ECL sensor exhibited multifunctional application in detecting DA, BPA, CT and HQ.
