The subject of our work is the investigation of boron doped nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) layers functionalized with photosensitive molecules of manganese phthalocyanine. The functionalized NCD sample was used as a working electrode in a three electrode cell and electrochemically studied. The two methods applied were stationary volt-ampere (VA) measurements and cyclic voltammetry (CV) in dark and under illumination. The VA and CV measurements showed that the electrode has a wide potential range and a high photosensitivity. The results obtained are promising for future application of functionalized diamond electrodes in light conversion systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
