Synthetic boron-doped diamond thin film electrodes have been tested for ele
ctroanalytical detection of 2-naphthol. This redox reaction was studied by
cyclic voltammetry in aqueous acidic solution. Well-resolved oxidation wave
s were observed and the voltammetric peaks exhibited naphthol concentration
dependence. Linear calibration curves were obtained after a simple electro
chemical anodic pretreatment. (C) 2000 The Electrochemical Society. S1099-0
