I am trying to detect if my nanoparticles generate oxygen. Is there a way I can use Ru(bpy) and obtain an emission spectra?
(Any other "quick and fast" method I can use to detect oxygen generation?)
HI,
Just a suggestion, a dilute gold cyanide aqueous solution homogeneous catalyst at room temperature will reacts CO + O2 to form carbon dioxide. Then you can detect the CO2 with IR spectroscopy. So any O2 would react with CO producing a well characterized CO2 molecule using a well known spectroscopy technique. Section 2.11. I think as little as 0.001M solution would likely do it.

I suggest you use GCMS it will help you measure oxygen. if you were working in a closed container
