Abstract

In the present study, we introduce various technological approaches for fabrication of structured boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes, i.e., nanocones and nanorods which are used as working electrodes for electrochemical measurements. Structured BDD were realized either by reactive ion etching employing gold nanoclusters as the mask or by thermo-catalytically induced modification of the diamond surface.

All samples were characterized in terms of surface morphology (scanning electron microscopy images), chemical composition (Raman spectroscopy) and electrochemical properties (anodic stripping voltammetry)
