Diamond electrodes for electrochemical analysis

We have reported not only the above examples but also several additional examples of sensitive detection by BDD electrodes, such as uric acid [25], NADH [26], acids [27], toxic gases [28], etc. In fact, some of the examples are now in progress for the development of practical electrochemical sensor applications. Furthermore, in order to add other functions and improve the electrochemical properties, BDD electrodes with surfaces chemically modified by functional organic molecules are also actively being developed [29, 30]. Thus, it appears likely that, in the near future, electrochemical sensors using BDD can be applied for environmental analysis and medical analysis. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
