Boron atoms, with a strong electron-withdrawing capability, are also doped into graphene frameworks forming boron-doped graphene. Due to its particular structure and unique electronic properties, the resultant B-doped graphene exhibits a Pt-like electrocatalytic activity toward ORR in alkaline electrolytes. ...

The use of boron as an electron-deficient atomic component of extended polycyclic aromatic structures has been realized in several unique molecular contexts. These molecular targets have refined new synthetic tactics and provided new scaffolds for applied and fundamental studies spanning physical organic chemistry and solid-state device engineering. The ability to use sophisticated organic chemistry to create atomically precise molecular fragments of boron-doped graphene...

Single atomic layers of graphite, called graphene, make electrodes with a working range similar to that of boron-doped diamond. 

Overall, this chapter will feature about the preparation, most important electrochemical characterization, and application of advanced carbon materials used in SPE electrochemical devices [e.g., graphite, boron-doped diamond, graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon black. 

We have reviewed the state-of-the-art of some important aspects about the use of carbonaceous materials in screen-printing electrochemical platforms. The chapter has attempted to throw some light on the incorporation of a wide variety of carbon materials i.e. graphite, carbon black, carbon nanotubes, graphenes, boron doped diamond and nano-porous carbons) in novel inks formulations and in the manufacturing of screen-printed carbon electrodes for the improvement of sensing performances. 

A working electrode modified with AuNPs, CNTs, and/or graphene, for example, enables the DET between electrode surface and enzyme active site. The latter is an advantage, since some enzymes, eg, metalloproteins, °° ° such as Tyrosinase (lyr) (E.C. 1.14.18.1), are unable to oxidize or reduce at any potential because their redox center is encapsulated in the enzyme s tridimensional structure. Nanomaterials, on the other hand, are capable of redncing the electron tunneling distance and consequently enabling the DET. io Janegitz and co-workers describe a Tyr-based biosensor immobilized on boron-doped diamond electrode modified with AuNPs, in which DET was observed between Tyr and the modified electrode. ... 

CNTs and graphene can also be doped with heteroatoms as a substitute for carbon in the hexagonal lattice, known as substitutional doping. The most common heteroatoms are boron, a p-type dopant in carbon, and nitrogen, a n-type dopant in carbon. " Dopants significantly effect the electronic properties like the DOS near Ep and the band structure. Nitrogen-doped CNTs (N-CNTs) exhibit strong electron donor states on the conduction band near Likewise, boron-doped...
