Polycrystalline Diamond-Based Electrochemical Sensors and Their Applications in Inorganic and Organic Analysis

Abstract

Boron-doped polycrystalline diamond electrodes have been used extensively in the field of electroanalysis. The development of knowledge about the mechanism of diamond film deposition, boron doping, and charge transfer reactions rendered the quality of analytical information. New aspects regarding the design of diamond-based electrodes, and mechanisms of redox reactions at their surface are briefly discussed. Recent applications of the diamond-based sensor in inorganic and organic analysis are presented.
