“…Alternative environmentally friendly electrode materials are therefore required 13 . Several new types of mercury-free electrodes have recently been developed for sensitive metal determinations, including bismuth film electrodes 13,14 , gold-coated electrodes 15,16 , silver electrodes 17,18 , glassy carbon electrodes 19 , carbon paste electrodes [20][21][22] , carbon nanotube electrodes 23 , or screen-printed carbon electrodes 24 . Boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes can be applied in a variety of areas due to their superior properties, including extreme robustness with a low level of background interference, less adsorption of polar molecules, and wide potential window in aqueous media 2,25 .…”
