Abstract
The boron-doped diamond (BDD) film is a very attractive material that shows excellent electroanalytical performance and presents itself as a green electrochemical sensor. In the recent years, its application in determining organic and inorganic compounds in complex matrices, mainly in biological and environmental samples, has been increased, due to its property of inertness, weak molecular adsorption, selectivity, and sensitivity in the measurements, with simplified sample preparation. The process of BDD film synthesis is not so convenient, but once obtained, it is a sensor that can be used in numerous applications, without the need of disposing or cleaning/treating its surface after each measurement, minimizing the production of chemical waste. This brief review presents the design, performance, and applications of the bare BDD and screen-printed diamond electrodes, from the last few years (Jan/2017 to June/2022).
