Modification of boron-doped diamond electrode and its applications

Abstract

Boron doped diamond (BDD) is a promising electrode material exhibiting exceptional electrochemical properties. Thanks to this, it is widely used in the field of electroanalytical chemistry. Simultaneously, BDDE is an excellent substrate for various surface modifications that allow the improvement of specific properties of electrodes, such as sensitivity and selectivity in particular. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the possibilities of modification of BDDEs. It summarizes the different types of modifications in the individual chapters devoted to modifications with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, carbon materials, such as graphene or carbon nanotubes, and last but not least, organic molecules and biomolecules. It also deals with procedures and specific conditions for electrode modification. Finally, an overview of applications of modified BDDEs is also included.
