We have formulated some simple routes for preparing or charaterizing chemimicals/devices for potential use in different applications. The links below aim to provide a summary with publications where a detailed step-by-step procedures are given. > Please cite the proper sources for all methods used from this page and, and as always follow general laboratory safety guideline. #### Collecting high resolution Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) spectrum - <img src="/usr/img/ECL-spectrum.png" style="width:30%"> - Yanqin Lv, Zhixin Zhou, Yanfei Shen, Qing Zhou, Jingjing Ji, Songqin Liu, and Yuanjian Zhang*,”Coupled Fluorometer-Potentiostat System and Metal-Free Monochromatic Luminophores for High-Resolution Wavelength-Resolved Electrochemiluminescent Multiplex Bioassay”, [ACS Sens. 2018, 3, 1362–1367](http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acssensors.8b00292 "ACS Sens. 2018, DOI: 10.1021/acssensors.8b00292"). - 中文版([高分辨ECL光谱采集详解](http://yzhang.group/usr/pdf/ECL_spectrum_collecting_guide-2018-07-05.pdf "高分辨ECL光谱采集详解")） #### Preperation of polymeric carbon nitride photoelectrode - Shuang Lou, Zhixin Zhou, Yanfei Shen, Zongsheng Zhan, Jianhai Wang, Songqin Liu, and Yuanjian Zhang*,”A Comparison Study of the Photoelectrochemical Activity of Carbon Nitride with Different Photoelectrode Configurations”, [ACS Appl.

Asia J. 2010, 5, 1307-1311](https://yzhang.group/usr/pdf/caj2010.pdf "Chem. Asia J. 2010, 5, 1307-1311"). #### Determination of conducting band (Ec) and the valence band (Ev) of polymeric carbon nitride - Considering that neither anodic nor cathodic photocurrent dominates for carbon nitride photoeletrode, the flat band potential (Efb) was supposed to be approximately at the middle of the Ec and Ev values. Thus, instead of Mott–Schottky equation, we use the onset photocurrent potential as the Efb. - Yuanjian Zhang*, and Markus Antonietti, “Photocurrent Generation by Polymeric Carbon Nitride Solids: an Initial Step towards a novel Photovoltaic System”, [Chem.
