ABSTRACTPhotoelectrodeposition of copper on boron-doped diamond films (BDD) was investigated. In this work, two different doped films were analyzed. Copper particles were deposited in the potentiostat mode and under UV irradiation. The BDD film as-grown and the BDD film modifed with Cu (Cu/BDD) on the surface were characterized by Raman Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) respectivily. These electrodes were tested as electrocatalysts for nitrate reduction in Britton-Robinson buffer solution (pH=3). Electrochemical measurements showed that the electrode with high doping level displayed the best electrocatalytic activity.

The Cu/Pd bimetallic system electrodeposited on boron-doped diamond (BDD) films for application, as electrode material in the electrochemical reduction of nitrate was studied. The electrochemical behavior of Cu, Pd, and Cu/Pd bimetallic system was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. From these results, the formation of the Cu/Pd composite was verified. In addition, Cu with different phases and a Cu/Pd phase in the composite were obtained. Morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a homogeneous distribution of Cu/Pd bimetallic particles with intermediary dimensions compared to those observed in Cu or Pd electrodeposits separately. These composites were tested as electrocatalysts for nitrate reduction in Britton-Robinson buffer solution (pH 9). Electrochemical measurements showed that composites with higher Cu content displayed the best electrocatalytic activity for nitrate reduction, and the Cu/Pd phase in the bimetallic system served to improve the Cu adherence on BDD electrode.

AbstractDiamond electrodes possess unique chemical stability, a very wide potential window of water stability, and low background currents. These properties give rise to numerous possible applications, for example, electrosynthesis and electrodestruction reactions at extreme potentials and environmental conditions and as a sensor electrode in aggressive environments. Furthermore, the study of semiconducting diamond electrodes promises to lead to greater understanding of the surface chemistry of diamond and of electronic levels and surface states in doped diamond. In this paper the reactivity of diamond electrodes and their use in a molten salt environment, as a sensor element, and for characterizing diamond are discussed.
