Electrochemiluminescence theories

Applications have been reported for photoelectrochemical experiments, for example, splitting of water [11], local generation of photoelectrodes by spatially selective laser excitation [12], and steady-state electrochemiluminescence at a band electrode array [13,14]. Band electrodes prepared from very thin films approaching molecular dimensions have been used to assess the limits of theory describing electrode kinetics at ultramicroelectrodes [9]. Spectroelectrochemical applications have been extensively reviewed [1], In an intriguing approach, thin, discontinuous metal films have been prepared on a transparent semiconductor substrate they are essentially transparent under conditions in which a continuous metal film containing the same quantity of metal would be expected to substantially absorb [15].

Andrzej Kapturkiewicz gives a thorough account on the theory of electron transfer reactions that lead to electrochemiluminescence (ECL). He discusses in detail the conditions under which the Marcus theory can give a more quantitative description of ECL processes.
