Preparation of grain size controlled boron-doped diamond thin films and their applications in selective detection of glucose in basic solutions

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) thin films with different crystal grain sizes were prepared by controlling the reacting gas pressure using hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD). The morphologies and structures of the prepared diamond thin films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The electrochemical responses of K₄Fe(CN)₆ on different BDD electrodes were investigated. The results suggested that electron transfer was faster at the boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond (BDND) thin film electrodes in comparison with that at other BDD thin film electrodes. The prepared BDD thin film electrodes without any modification were used to directly detect glucose in the basic solution. The results showed that the as-prepared BDD thin film electrodes exhibited good selectivity for detecting glucose in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). The higher sensitivity was observed on the BDND thin film grown on the boron-doped microcrystalline diamond (BDMD) thin film surface, and the linear response range, sensitivity and the low detection limit were 0.25–10 mM, 189.1 μA mmo^?1 cm^?2 and 25 μM (S/N=3) for glucose in the presence of AA and UA, respectively.     

Electrodes of synthetic diamond: The effects of Ti substrate pretreatment on the electrode properties

The electrode properties of boron-doped diamond thin films grown on Ti substrates by a hot-filament chemical vapor deposition technique are evaluated. The Ti substrate surface modifying conditions are devised, involving the surface roughening, annealing, and etching, which effectively improve the diamond electrode properties. The preetching of the Ti substrate produces the titanium hydride layer that can affect the boron-doped diamond film growth significantly. The substrate roughened surface obviously improved the diamond film adhesion and reduced the inner stress. The electrodes reveal minimal background current and better stability. A wider potential window, up to 3 V, is observed for the boron-doped diamond on the etched/annealed samples. The electrochemical activity of the electrodes in the Fe(CN) ₆ ^3-/4- redox system somewhat increases with increasing surface roughness. The apparent increase in the reversibility of the reaction may be explained by the decrease in the true current density. Suitability of the Ti-based boron-doped diamond electrodes for electroanalytical applications is exemplified by sensing the trace metal ions, such as Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺.__________From Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 4, 2005, pp. 387–396.Original English Text Copyright © 2005 by Pleskov, Evstefeeva, Krotova, Lim, Chu, Ralchenko, Vlasov, Kononenko, Varnin, Teremetskaya, Shi.This article was submitted by the authors in English.     

Recent advances of boron-doped diamond electrochemical sensors toward environmental applications

The electrocatalytic properties of boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes have been considered for a variety of sensing applications. The unusual electrochemical properties of BDD include a large potential window, a small background current, and better resistance to fouling than other carbon-based electrodes. The use of BDD for remediation and environmental sensing applications has recently attracted the interest of the sensor research community. This review focuses on recent developments that involve the use of BDD as an environmentally friendly sensing material for environmental analysis. The electrochemical properties of boron-doped diamond that has undergone surface modification (e.g., with metals or enzymes) will be considered. Recent achievements involving the use of BDD electrodes for detecting pesticides, mycotoxins, peroxides, and phenolic compounds are considered.     

Microwave-enhanced electro-deposition and stripping of palladium at boron-doped diamond electrodes

In situ microwave activation has been applied to the electro-deposition and stripping of palladium metal (which is widely used as a catalyst) at cavitation resistant boron-doped diamond electrodes. Focused microwave radiation leading to heating, boiling, and cavitation is explored as an option to improve the speed and sensitivity of the analytical detection procedure. The deposition and anodic stripping of palladium by linear sweep voltammetry in 0.1 M KCl (pH 2) solution and at boron-doped diamond electrodes is shown to be strongly enhanced by microwave activation due to both (i) the increase in mass transport and (ii) the increase in the kinetic rate of deposition and stripping.The temperature at the electrode surface is calibrated with the reversible redox couple Fe(CN)₆⁴⁻/Fe(CN)₆³⁻ and found to be reach 380 K. In the presence of microwave radiation, the potential of onset of the deposition of palladium is strongly shifted positive from −0.4 to +0.1 V versus SCE. The optimum potential for deposition in the presence of microwaves is −0.4 V versus SCE and the anodic stripping peak current is shown to increase linearly with deposition time. Under these conditions, the stripping peak current varies linearly with the palladium concentration down to ca. 2 μM. At concentration lower than this a logarithmic variation of the stripping peak current with concentration is observed down to ca. 0.1 μM (for 5 min pre-concentration in presence of microwave radiation).     

Fast electrochemical triple-interface processes at boron-doped diamond electrodes

Two important mechanisms for electron transfer processes at boron-doped diamond electrodes involving the oxidation of tetramethylphenylenediamine (TMPD) dissolved in aqueous solution and the oxidation of tetrahexylphenylenediamine (THPD) deposited in the form of microdroplets and immersed into aqueous eletrolyte solution are reported. For TMPD, the first oxidation step in aqueous solution follows the equation: Remarkably slow heterogeneous kinetics at a H-plasma-treated boron-doped diamond electrode are observed, consistent with a process following a pathway more complex than outer-sphere electron transfer. At the same boron-doped diamond electrode surface a deposit of THPD undergoes facile oxidation following the equation: This oxidation and re-reduction of the deposited liquid material occurs at the triple interface organic droplet|diamond|aqueous electrolyte and is therefore an example of a facile high-current-density process at boron-doped diamond electrodes due to good electrical contact between the deposit and the diamond surface.

Reduction of hexavalent chromium at solid electrodes in acidic media: reaction mechanism and analytical applications

The electrochemical detection of hexavalent chromium species was investigated. It was found that Cr(VI) can undergo chemically irreversible reduction in acidic solutions at gold, glassy carbon and boron-doped diamond electrodes. The process was found to be diffusionally controlled at all three electrodes studied. The response obtained at a gold electrode towards the reduction of chromium(VI) produced an electrochemically reversible wave in contrast to those recorded at glassy carbon and boron-doped diamond electrodes. The analytical response of the hexavalent species was studied at gold electrodes in the presence of common environmental interferences: Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cr³⁺ and Triton X-100 (surfactant), with an LoD of 4.3 μM obtained in the presence of 5 mM Cr(III).     

Electrochemical performance of angstrom level flat sputtered carbon film consisting of sp2 and sp3 mixed bonds

We have developed ultra-flat carbon film electrodes with a wide potential window and a low capacitive current by the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) sputtering method. The film consists of sp2 and sp3 bonds (sp3/sp2 ratio = 0.702) and is sufficiently conductive for electrochemical measurements without doping. The film has average roughness of 0.7 A, which is much flatter than that of nanocrystalline diamond film. The potential limit of ECR sputtered carbon (current limit < +/-500 muA/cm2) in the positive direction is 2.0 V vs Ag/AgCl, which is slightly lower than that of boron-doped diamond (2.1 V) and much wider than that of a glassy carbon (GC) electrode (1.7 V). In contrast, a much wider potential window can be obtained in the negative direction. The capacitive current is also much lower than that of a GC electrode due to the ultra-flat surface and the low number of oxygen-containing groups at the film surface. ECR sputtered carbon film can be used to measure each base of oligonucleotides by electrochemical oxidation without any pretreatment. The ultra-flat surface and low surface oxygen concentration suppress fouling with electroactive species, such as oligonucleotides, NADH, and bisphenol A.     

Electroanalytical investigation and determination of pefloxacin in pharmaceuticals and serum at boron-doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes

The anodic behavior and determination of pefloxacin on boron-doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes were investigated using cyclic, linear sweep, differential pulse and square wave voltammetric techniques. In cyclic voltammetry, pefloxacin shows one main irreversible oxidation peak and additional one irreversible ill-defined wave depending on pH values for both electrodes. The results indicate that the process of pefloxacin is irreversible and diffusion controlled on boron-doped diamond electrode and irreversible but adsorption controlled on glassy carbon electrode. The peak current is found to be linear over the range of concentration 2 × 10⁻⁶ to 2 × 10⁻⁴ M in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ at about +1.20 V (versus Ag/AgCl) for differential pulse and square wave voltammetric technique using boron-doped diamond electrode. The repeatability, reproducibility, precision and accuracy of the methods in all media were investigated. Selectivity, precision and accuracy of the developed methods were also checked by recovery studies. The procedures were successfully applied to the determination of the drug in pharmaceutical dosage forms and humans serum samples with good recovery results. No electroactive interferences from the excipients and endogenous substances were found in the pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological samples, respectively.
