Carbon-based electrodes modified with perovskite materials

Abstract

Due to its diversity, performance, high oxidation–reduction characteristics, voltammetric/amperometric detection of biomolecules, electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic activity, perovskite oxides have received increasing attention. In addition, some perovskite materials are demanding because they help to improve electrode performance. Perovskite materials are used in the electrochemical detection of alcohols, glucose, hydrogen peroxide, gases and even emerging pollutants. The purpose of this research study was to characterize and to test modified electrode materials obtained from two commercial carbon based electrodes and two perovskite materials. Commercial boron-doped-diamond modified with LaCoO3 (LaCoO3/BDD) and glassy carbon modified with CdCr2O4 (CdCr2O4/GC) were tested for the detection of docetaxel (DCT) and sodium diclofenac (DCF) in water, which were chosen as target emerging pollutants.
