The combination of highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) techniques with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect can achieve the highly sensitive and specific detection in the analytical and biosensing applications. However, how to effectively improve the electromagnetic field intensity is an unresolved issue. Herein, we have developed an ECL biosensor based on sulfur dots and AuAg nanorod array architecture. Firstly, the high luminescent sulfur dots with ionic liquid capping (S dots (IL) have been prepared as the new ECL emitter. The ionic liquid greatly improved the conductivity of sulfur dots in the sensing process. Furthermore, Au@Ag nanorods array structure was constructed on the electrode surface by the evaporation induced self-assembly. On the one hand, the LSPR of Au@Ag nanorods was more significant than that of good nanomaterial due to the plasma hybridization and the competition between free electrons and oscillating electrons. On the other hand, nanorods array structure had strong electromagnetic field intensity as hot spots due to the surface plasmon coupling ECL effect (SPC-ECL) effect. Therefore, the Au @Ag nanorods array architecture not only greatly enhanced the ECL intensity of sulfur dots, but also changed the ECL signals into polarized emission. Finally, the constructed polarized ECL sensing system was used to detect the mutated BRAF DNA in the eluent of thyroid tumor tissue. The biosensor showed the linear range from 100 fM to 10 nM with a detection limit of 20 fM. The satisfactory results demonstrated that the developed sensing strategy had great potential in the clinical diagnosis of BRAF DNA mutation in thyroid cancer.
