H-terminated polycrystalline boron doped diamond electrode for geochemical sensing into underground components of nuclear repositories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nuclear waste repositories are being installed in deep excavated rock formations in some places in Europe to isolate and store radioactive waste. In France, Callovo-Oxfordian formation (COx) is potential candidate for nuclear waste repository. It is thus necessary to measure in situ the state of a structure's health during its entire life. The monitoring of the near-field rock and the knowledge of the geochemical transformations can be carried out by a set of sensors for a sustainable management of long-term safety, reversibility and retrievability. Among the chemical parameters, the most significant are pH, conductivity and redox potential.

An All-Solid-State pH Sensor Employing Fluorine-Terminated Polycrystalline Boron-Doped Diamond as a pH-Insensitive Solution-Gate Field-Effect Transistor
A fluorine-terminated polycrystalline boron-doped diamond surface is successfully employed as a pH-insensitive SGFET (solution-gate field-effect transistor) for an all-solid-state pH sensor. The fluorinated polycrystalline boron-doped diamond (BDD) channel possesses a pH-insensitivity of less than 3mV/pH compared with a pH-sensitive oxygenated channel. With differential FET (field-effect transi...

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) thin films have recently come to be considered as being among the most ideal electrode materials for electroanalysis and electrolysis. For BDD films prepared by use of the microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) method, the as-deposited surfaces are hydrogen-terminated. These surfaces, however, can be oxidized while being used as anodes, i.e., at re...
متن کاملDetection of the Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal (PQS) by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry using a boron doped diamond electrode.
2-Heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone, known as the Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal, is a key regulator of bacterial cooperative behaviour known as quorum sensing. A simple electrochemical strategy was employed for its sensitive detection using a bare boron-doped diamond electrode by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. PQS (and potentially other quinolones) was then detected in cultures of P. aeruginosa ...

This study highlights the effects of the electrochemical surface pre-treatment of polished polycrystalline boron-doped diamond electrodes in ethanol on electron transfer to organic redox systems. A novel ‘‘activation’’ procedure based on cathodic polarisation in ethanol (0.01 M NBu4PF6) is proposed and shown to be highly effective in promoting electron transfer to the aqueous FeðCNÞ =4 6 redox ...
