注：BDD电极使用化学气相沉积技术，附着到生长衬底最常用生长。它们离开生长室氢终止（疏水的）。如果种植足够厚的BDD可以从基底被删除，被称为独立。自由站立的BDD生长表面通常抛光以显著减少表面粗糙度。清洗BDD中酸的结果在氧（O）封端的表面。 1.酸洗BDD <ol><li>放置浓硫酸的烧杯中（H 2 SO 4;约2ml或足够深，以覆盖金刚石）在热板上在RT并插入BDD。 </li><li>添加硝酸?...

带有O形端的表面开始提倡，因为氢终止表面是电化学不稳定的，尤其是在高的阳极电位7,40,41。改变表面终止可能影响范围内的夫妇，如电解水（这里用来改变当地溶液的pH值）的电子转移反应动力学。此外，如果包含的BDD显著NDC在晶界也有可能是在施加极端阳极的/阴极电位主张本文用于pH代，蚀刻可能发生在这些弱点。这将导致该膜腐蚀和薄膜，最终剥离，这表现在一种不稳定的PH值产?...

电极材料的选择是非常重要在进行任何电化学研究时。在最近几年，sp 3键碳（金刚石）掺杂有足够硼呈现材料“金属样”已成为广泛的电分析应用的流行的选择由于其优异的电化学（和热和机械）性能1,2- 3。这些包括极端的解决方案，温度和压力条件4超宽溶剂窗户，低背景电流下的耐腐蚀性，并降低了结垢，相较于其他常用的电极材料5-7,3。但是，增加的非金刚石碳（NDC：藻2）的含量会导致降低的窗口溶剂，增加背景电流7,8，改变在两个不同的朝向内球的氧化还原物质的结构完整性和灵敏度，例如。氧气9-12。 请注意这样我的应用程序，NDC的存在被认为是有利的13。此外，如果材料不含有足够的硼它将表现为p型半导体，并显示氧化还原物种中的还原电位窗口，其中该材料被最耗尽电荷载体7的敏感性降低。最后，掺硼金刚石的表面化学（BDD）也可以起到在所观察到的电化学应答的作用。这是内球物种是敏感的表面化学和降低掺杂金刚石，其中氢（H - ） -尤其如此终止的表面可以使半导电BDD电极出现“金属状”7。 要利用的BDD的优异性能，它往往是必要的材料被充分掺杂且包含尽可能少的NDC越好。依赖于通过中生长的BDD的方法中，属性可以变化14,15。本文首先提出了一种材料和选rochemical表征协议指导，以评估在使用前BDD电极适用性（ 即充足的硼，最小的NDC），然后描述了基于局部改变pH值电化学使用的协议验证电极一个应用程序。这个过程需要NDC - 自由的BDD朝在施加施加极端电位（或电流），用于长时间腐蚀或溶解的表面韧性的优点。特别是使用一个BDD电极，以产生稳定的质子（H +）或氢氧化物（OH - ）通量由于水在靠近第二（传感器）电解（分别氧化或还原）16,17在这里被描述。 以这种方式，可以控制传感器的pH值环境中以系统的方式，例如，用于pH滴定实验，或以固定pH值在一个值，其中该电化学过程是最敏感的。后者为特别有用应用中的传感器被放置在源， 如河流，湖泊，海洋和体系的pH不是最佳为感兴趣的电化学测量。两个最近的例子包括：（i）产生的局部低pH，在pH值为中性溶液，用于电沉积和汞17的汽提;注意BDD是金属电沉积青睐的材料，由于扩展阴极窗口9,18,19。 （二）的硫化氢，本在高pH值，所述电化学检测形式的定量通过从中立到强碱性16局部增加的pH值。
