Abstract: As newly developed inorganic materials, quantum dots (QDs) have received considerable attention because of their unique nanorelated properties including high quantum yield, simultaneous excitation with multiple fluorescence colors, and electrochemical properties. This chapter presents a general description of the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) related to QDs and their analytical application. QDs including Si nanopaticles, semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) and recent emerged novel QDs such as graphene QDs were discussed about their ECL behaviors and mechanisms. By utilization of this excellent property, new developments and improvements of its application in DNA-based analysis are discussed. Different types of QDs with different strategies for the DNA-biosensing constructions were expatiated and compared in detail.
