Application of boron doped diamond electrodes to electrochemical gas sensor

Abstract

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes have been attracting attention as superior electrode materials for electrochemical sensing applications. Here, we focused on applications of the BDD electrodes to electrochemical gas sensing especially dissolved gas in aqueous solution. This article discusses arsine, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide gas for environmental sensing, and oxygen in the blood for biomedical sensing. The analytical performances suggest that BDD electrodes are more than adequate for determining the concentration of these gas species.
