AbstractDiamond electrodes possess unique chemical stability, a very wide potential window of water stability, and low background currents. These properties give rise to numerous possible applications, for example, electrosynthesis and electrodestruction reactions at extreme potentials and environmental conditions and as a sensor electrode in aggressive environments. Furthermore, the study of semiconducting diamond electrodes promises to lead to greater understanding of the surface chemistry of diamond and of electronic levels and surface states in doped diamond. In this paper the reactivity of diamond electrodes and their use in a molten salt environment, as a sensor element, and for characterizing diamond are discussed.

ABSTRACTPhotoelectrodeposition of copper on boron-doped diamond films (BDD) was investigated. In this work, two different doped films were analyzed. Copper particles were deposited in the potentiostat mode and under UV irradiation. The BDD film as-grown and the BDD film modifed with Cu (Cu/BDD) on the surface were characterized by Raman Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) respectivily. These electrodes were tested as electrocatalysts for nitrate reduction in Britton-Robinson buffer solution (pH=3). Electrochemical measurements showed that the electrode with high doping level displayed the best electrocatalytic activity.

ABSTRACTThe evolution of hydrogen and oxygen from a 0.5 M H2SO4 solution on heavily borondoped diamond electrodes was studied. A very wide potential range without water decomposition, from approximately -1.5 to +2.75 V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode, was observed on high quality diamond. A much smaller range, from -0.7 to 1.7 V, and higher background currents were observed on diamond electrodes with significant sp2 content. The Ce(III)/Ce(IV) redox couple was observable on diamond electrodes, but was highly irreversible.
