To investigate the strong electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of ultrathin two dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) is crucial. In this work, we reported the strong ECL behavior of 2D Yb-MOFs, which exhibited thickness-dependent ECL. The thinner the 2D Yb-MOFs, the stronger the ECL signals. The corresponding ECL emission mechanism was investigated in detail, which was ascribed to the thinner 2D Yb-MOF with larger specific surface area, provided more luminophores, better electronic conductivity and superior fluorescence quantum yield, which yielded a higher ECL intensity. Considering the excellent ECL performances above, the ultrathin 2D Yb-MOF-1 was selected as new ECL emitter so that a sensor could be fabricated to realize the "on-off-on" detection of picric acid (PA) and berberine chloride form (BCF). The proposed sensor strategy exhibited a good analytical performance, where the linear range for PA detection was from 0.1 μM to 1 μM with a limit of 81.3 nM, and that for BCF detection from 0.05 μM to 1 μM with a limit of 36.5 nM. This study carves out a novel avenue for exploiting excellent ECL materials. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
