Photoelectrochemical properties of semiconductor diamond

New Horizons in Spectroelectrochemical Measurements: Optically Transparent Carbon Electrodes

“…Diamond electrochemical electrodes have advanced in recent years from a scientific curiosity into a viable material for electroanalysis (18)(19)(20)(21). Interest in this new electrode material is driven by its outstanding properties-ruggedness, good electrochemical responsiveness for multiple redox analytes without conventional pretreatment, low and stable background voltammetric current, weak molecular adsorption of polar molecules that leads to a high level of resistance to response deactivation and fouling, morphological and microstructural stability over a wide range of potentials, and optical transparency in the UVvis and IR regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.…”

Amination of diamond film by ammonia microwave plasma treatment

“…The electrochemical detection of bio-molecules requires electrode materials with specific properties such as biocompatibility, stability, reproducibility and sensitivity [1][2][3] . Recently, diamond film has attracted much attention and been recognized as one of the best electrochemical sensor materials due to its unique physical and chemical properties [4,5] .…”

Glucose Oxidase Entrapment in an Electropolymerized Poly(tyramine) Film with Sulfobutylether-β-Cyclodextrin on Platinum Nanoparticle Modified Boron-Doped Diamond Electrode

“…10 However, because of its chemical inertness, it is very difficult to modify the BDD electrode to impart novel electrocatalytic properties. Nevertheless, the BDD electrode can be photochemically modified with appropriate solutions of a terminal alkene to yield monolayer coverage of the surface.…”
