Abstract
Boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes were used to examine L-cysteine (CySH) oxidation in alkaline media. The results of the voltammetric and polarization measurements showed that at BDD electrodes the overall CySH oxidation reaction is controlled by the initial electrochemical step, i.e., the oxidation of the CyS- electroactive species. The same conclusion was supported by the results of a study of pH effects. Conversely, at glassy carbon (GC) electrodes, the same reaction is controlled by the desorption of the reaction products. These results account for the poor response for CySH determination at GC compared to BDD. It was found that BDD exhibits excellent behavior for CySH determination, clearly outperforming GC. The results demonstrate that measurement of the peak current for CySH oxidation can be used as a basis for simple method for determining CySH in the micromolar concentration range by the use of BDD electrodes.Keywords
