Metal Nanoparticles/BDD Hybrid Electrodes for Analytical Detection of Pollutants in Water
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 February 2016
Abstract:
Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) electrodes exhibit excellent properties including a wide potential window in aqueous media, high corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, bio-compatibility and low background current. In order to increase their selectivity for analytical applications, several studies were carried out recently on the possibility to deposit metal nanoparticles such as Pt or Ir on such BDD electrodes1,2,3,4. Indeed these nanoparticles bring interesting electro-catalytic properties to the electrodes, thus offering the possibility to address new analytes. Here an electrode array was developed, based on multiple BDD electrodes casted with various metal nanoparticles. The simultaneous detection of analytes by each electrode composing the array gives potentially a unique fingerprint to the analytes, thus increasing the specificity and the selectivity of the sensor.
