A Nanometer-Sized Graphite/Boron-Doped Diamond Electrochemical Sensor for Sensitive Detection of Acetaminophen.

ABSTRACT: A boron-doped diamond (BDD) has been widely used as an outstanding electrode for constructing high-performance electrochemical biosensors. In this paper, we fabricated a novel electrode combined of nanometer-sized graphite-BDD film (NG-BDD) by chemical vapor deposition. The nanometer-sized graphite (NG) is formed on the (111) facet of BDD via converting an sp³ diamond structure to an sp² graphitic phase at high temperature in boron-rich ambient. The electrode was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This NG-BDD was performed as an electrode of electrochemical biosensor to detect trace acetaminophen (APAP) accurately. Cyclic voltammetry and differential normal pulse voltammetry are used to investigate the overall performance of the electrochemical device. The sensor has a linear electrochemical response to APAP in the concentration range of 0.02-50 ?M, and the detection limit is estimated to be as low as 5 nM. The research has resulted in a solution of constructing a reusable NG-BDD sensor to detect APAP with stability and show potential in extensive application.

Project description:Fabrication of patterned boron-doped diamond (BDD) in an inexpensive and straightforward way is required for a variety of practical applications, including the development of BDD-based electrochemical sensors. This work describes a simplified and novel bottom-up fabrication approach for BDD-based three-electrode sensor chips utilizing direct inkjet printing of diamond nanoparticles on silicon-based substrates. The whole seeding process, accomplished by a commercial research inkjet printer with piezo-driven drop-on-demand printheads, was systematically examined. Optimized and continuous inkjet-printed features were obtained with glycerol-based diamond ink (0.4% vol/wt), silicon substrates pretreated by exposure to oxygen plasma and subsequently to air, and applying a dot density of 750 drops (volume 9 pL) per inch. Next, the dried micropatterned substrate was subjected to a chemical vapor deposition step to grow uniform thin-film BDD, which satisfied the function of both working and counter electrodes. Silver was inkjet-printed to complete the sensor chip with a reference electrode. Scanning electron micrographs showed a closed BDD layer with a typical polycrystalline structure and sharp and well-defined edges. Very good homogeneity in diamond layer composition and a high boron content (∼2 × 1021 atoms cm-3) was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Important electrochemical characteristics, including the width of the potential window (2.5 V) and double-layer capacitance (27 μF cm-2), were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. Fast electron transfer kinetics was recognized for the [Ru(NH3)6]3+/2+ redox marker due to the high doping level, while somewhat hindered kinetics was observed for the surface-sensitive [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- probe. Furthermore, the ability to electrochemically detect organic compounds of different structural motifs, such as glucose, ascorbic acid, uric acid, tyrosine, and dopamine, was successfully verified and compared with commercially available screen-printed BDD electrodes. The newly developed chip-based manufacture method enables the rapid prototyping of different small-scale electrode designs and BDD microstructures, which can lead to enhanced sensor performance with capability of repeated use.
