Article Description

We describe a very simple and efficient route to functionalize boron-doped-diamond (BDD) electrodes with a chelating nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) ligand. The BDD electrode surface was first functionalized with a carboxylic acid group via electrochemical grafting of 4-aminophenylcarboxylic acid in aqueous solution and subsequently linked to NTA ligand via a coupling reaction with amine terminated NTA ligand in PBS solution (pH 7.5). Modified BBD surfaces were characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The present study has demonstrated that NTA functionalized BDD surfaces can successfully be used for reversible 241 Am sequestration in aqueous solution.
