We have synthesized water-dispersible CdTe quantum dots (QDs) capped with thioglycolic acid. Their quantum yield is higher than 54%. A sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) method was established based on the modification of the composite of the QDs, carbon nanotubes and chitosan on indium tin oxide glass. The sensor displays efficient and stable anodic ECL which is quenched by dopamine. A respective sensor was designed that responds to dopamine linearly in the range of 50 pM to 10 nM, and the detection limit is 24 pM. Dopamine was determined with this sensor in spiked cerebro-spinal fluid with average recoveries of 95.7%.
