Boron Doped Diamond Structure. The first such material was boron-doped synthetic diamond grown by the high-pressure high-temperature method. Boron-doped diamond BDD Synthetic diamond is doped with Boron to raise its conductivity making it feasible as electrochemical electrode.
Nanoporous boron-doped diamond films with highly ordered pore structures and various pore dimensions. Showed that heavily boron-doped diamond h-BDD was superconducting. Boron-doped diamond BDD is a new type of diamond formed by adding boron in the process of diamond growth.
Once doped BDD electrodes show high chemical and electrochemical stability good conductivity great resistance to corrosion even in harsh environment and a remarkable wide potential window 23 V vs SHE.
The morphology microstructure chemistry electronic properties and electrochemical behavior of a boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond BDD thin film grown on quartz were evaluated. Fabricated by oxygen plasma etching of polished polycrystalline diamond films. The valence and conduction band electronic structure of boron-doped diamond has been measured using soft x-ray emission and absorption spectroscopy. Additional morphological and structural characterization revealed that ripple formation on heavily boron-doped diamond 28 atom B occurs at much lower accumulated fluences than the 2 kJcm 2 typically reported for lower doping levels and that the process involves stronger graphitization of the BDD surface.
