Diamond film energy storage

Can nanodiamonds be used in energy-related fields?

We discussed the promising opportunities and outlooks for nanodiamonds in energy-related fields. Nanodiamonds, an exciting class of carbon materials, with excellent mechanical, chemical, electronic, and optical properties, have great potentials in energy-related applications.

Does boron-doped diamond have a high current capacity?

For example, boron-doped diamond (BDD) with p-type conductivity has a high current capacity. 30 Detailed studies of the morphology and size of the crystals, surface termination, doping level, redox behavior of diamond electrode, electrochemical pretreatment effects, and other electrochemical factors of BDD have been investigated.

Why are NDS used in energy storage devices?

NDs have been used in energy storage devices because of their high surface area, good mechanical properties, high chemical stability, and relatively high conductivity. Appropriate doping or surface modification of NDs could alter their electronic structure, which could facilitate their application into supercapacitors and batteries.

Do semiconducting properties of diamond affect photoelectrochemical behavior?

The effect of the semiconducting properties of diamond on photoelectrochemical behavior has been known for over three decades. 58 After annealing, electrochemical impedance, photocurrent, and photopotential properties of undoped polycrystalline diamond suggest that the photo effects are caused by structural defects.
