Abstract
Abstract This work is focused on the role of porous titanium (Ti) substrate on the electrochemical performance of boron-doped diamond (BDD) films. BDD film deposited on porous Ti substrate combines the excellent property of porous Ti and BDD film, porous Ti endows the film three-dimensional (3D) porous performance and enhances the surface area of BDD electrode. The effective electrochemical surface area of 3D-Ti/BDD electrode is 8.37 cm 2 cm − 2 , 3.2 times as much as that of conventional plate BDD electrode while smaller electron transfer resistance (31.3 Ω cm 2 ) for Fe(CN) 6 3 − /Fe(CN) 6 4 − redox couple on 3D-Ti/BDD electrode is obtained compared to 128.3 Ω cm 2 . 3D-Ti/BDD electrode presents higher response current and the degradation of aspirin reveals that corresponding kinetic constant for plate and 3D-Ti/BDD electrode is 0.185 h − 1 and 0.367 h − 1 , respectively. Moreover, porous BDD electrode owns higher stability analyzing by accelerated life tests, 25% higher than plate BDD electrode. The enhancement of electrocatalytic activity and stability is essentially attributed to porous structure of Ti substrate.
