title: Electrochemical characterization of boron-doped polycrystalline diamond thin-film electrodes.
abstract: The electrochemical characterization of boron-doped polycrystalline diamond thin-film (BDF) electrodes was studied using the anodic scan after concentrating lead in 0.1 mol/L KCl - 41 micromol/L Hg(NO(3))(2) and 0.1 mol/L KNO(3) - 0.01 mol/L HNO(3) - 41 micromol/L Hg(NO(3))(2); accumulation voltage was -0.90 V. The results obtained were compared with those given by glassy carbon (GC) electrodes and proved that the BDF electrodes offered high sensitivity, good precision and extreme stability over a 2-month period. These electrodes provided good resolving power for the determination of lead and cadmium and gave satisfactory results in the analysis of a pure water sample.
