Abstract

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) microelectrodes were prepared to investigate the correlation of hydrazine oxidation current responses with Pt nanoparticle (Pt NP) size distribution. The BDD film was grown on the surface of a tungsten needle with a diameter of 25 µm. An average particle size of around 5 µm BDD crystalline was successfully synthesized using a microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition technique. The Raman spectrum confirmed the presence of diamond formation as indicated by peaks corresponding to C-C sp3 bonds, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectrum showed the presence of C-H and C-OH bonds on the surface of the BDD microelectrode. Meanwhile the Pt nanoparticles was synthesized through reduction reaction of  PtCl62- solution using NaBH4 with citric acid as the capping agent. Particles size between 4.46 to 4.78 nm were observed by using TEM measurements. The BDD microelectrodes were utilized to investigate the relationship between Pt nanoparticle size distribution and the current generated from the oxidation reaction of 15 mM hydrazine in a 50 mM phosphate buffer solution pH 7.4 in the presence of 1.0 mL nanoparticle solutions. A current range of 5 and 6 nA with a noise level of 0.15 nA was observed showing a good correlation with the particle sizes of Pt NPs. Comparison was also performed with the measurements using Au microelectrodes, indicated that the prepared BDD microelectrodes is promising for the measurements of nanoparticle sizes distribution, especially Pt NPs.

Abstract

Modification of surface of boron-doped diamond (BDD) film with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was carried out to increase its catalytic activity for an application as an oxygen sensor. Allicin was isolated from garlic by salting out extraction technique, and then used as the capping agent to synthesize AuNPs as it has a double bond structure that could be reacted to attach the BDD surface under UV light radiation. An average size of AuNPs at around 46,00 ± 9,06 nm was obtained, while the modification of the BDD surface by the synthesized AuNPs indicated that the surface of BDD could be covered by gold at around 0.6 % (w/w). Investigation of the AuNPs-modified BDD as a working electrode for the oxygen reduction by using cyclic voltammograms in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution pH 7 observed a current peak at around -0.45 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The current of this peak linearly increased proportionally to the dissolved oxygen concentrations (R2=0.9986). Moreover, a limit of detection of the dissolved oxygen of 0.12 ppm and limit of quantity 0.41 ppm could be achieved with excellent stability at 6.86% RSD with 6 repetitions and sensitivity at 19.086 μA/ppm indicated that the modified BDD is promising for applications as an oxygen sensor.

Abstract

Background: Arsenic is known as one of the carcinogenic metalloids and can cause various health issues when ingested or inhaled over prolonged periods of time. Methods: In this work, boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode was altered with gold particles (Au) arranged by seeding continued with electrodeposition of HAuCl4 solutions at the electrode surface, will be used as electrode to detect As3+ and As5+ in lake water. The deposited gold particles on the BDD surface were studied with scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Detections of As3+, As5+, and mixture solutions of As3+ and As5+, carried out with anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). Findings: The, pre-treatment using NaBH4 carried out for reduction from As5+ to As3+, indicate an improvement at the sensitivity of As3+ and As5+ detection with a good linear responses for each solution in range concentrations of 0.02-0.2 ppm for As3+ and As5+, with R2=0.9759 and R2= 0.9876, respectively. Conclusion: Furthermore, limit of detections of 0.0335 ppm and 0.0239 ppm can be attained for As3+ and As5+ displayed high linearity, revealing that detection of each species of As3+ and As5+ can be conducted in mixture of As3+ and As5+. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study involves the modification of BDD electrodes with gold (Au) using a combined seeding and electrodeposition technique, which enhances stability and sensitivity for detecting arsenic (As³⁺ and As⁵⁺) at low concentrations. Additionally, the research introduces a pretreatment method using NaBH₄ to facilitate the detection of As⁵⁺ by reducing it to As³⁺, thereby improving the detection limits with anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV).
