Abstract

The aim project is evaluate the mechanistic of diamond electrodes with different doping levels using the technique of scanning electrochemical microscopy. From this technique may be related to efficiency of generation of hydroxyl radicals through the process of electrochemical degradation of insecticides. (AU)
