Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is an extensively used flame retardant in printed circuit boards. It is toxic and widely spread in the environment, which needs sensitive detection. Cationic surfactants were utilized to enhance the response of TBBPA on boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode. Among four kinds of surfactants, stearyltrimethylammonium bromide (STAB) showed the greatest enhancement to the electrochemical signal. TBBPA got better response on BDD electrode with doping level of 1000 ppm. The linear range of the system was from 10μg/L to 500 μg/L, and the limit of detection reduced from 27 nM to 2.5 nM (1.34 μg/L) owing to the enhancement of STAB.
