Abstract—The diamond electrodes-compacts with extreme high boron-doping level, and those added with platinum, were prepared at a pressure of 8–9 GPa and temperature ~2500 К from В–С, Pt–C, and Pt–C–B growth mixtures. They are highly electroactive in the reaction of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid electrooxidation. The oxidation current is a linear function of the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid concentration over the 0.001–0.05 g-eq/L range. This system can be basic to an electroanalytical method for the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid determination.
