Abstract

Conductive boron-doped chemically vapour-deposited diamond thin film and honeycomb electrodes were examined for various possible applications in electroanalysis and electric double layer capacitor applications, respectively. The possibility of voltammetric study of electrochemical reactions occurring at high oxidation and high reduction potentials was demonstrated at diamond electrodes, taking histamine and carbon tetrachloride as respective examples. High sensitivity and high stability of this electrode were demonstrated for the determination of histamine and sulfadiazine by flow injection analysis method. Nanostructured honeycomb diamond electrodes, prepared by oxygen plasma etching, exhibited a wide potential window similar to that of as-grown film but a capacitance 200 times higher than that of the as-grown film. These results indicate the usefulness of diamond electrode for electroanalysis and double layer capacitor applications.
