Boron doped diamond as material for electrochemical sensors: challenges and advantages | Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics at the Gdańsk University of Technology

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) is fascinating yet complex material. It has a huge potential to be used as modern electrode material for numerous applications (electroanalysis, wastewater treatment, energy storage, among others). The unique properties of thin BDD films depend primarily on chemical vapor deposition conditions, while ambiguous interdependence between sp²/sp³-carbon content, crystallographic texture, crystal size, dopant density, termination functional groups constitute some
of the primary challenges. The lecture will focus on the possible application of BDD films in electrochemical macromolecular biosensing, including the techniques used for effective analyte detection, functionalization routes to enhance the electron transfer kinetics, modification of BDD’s architecture or handling the electric heterogeneity of this material.
