Sluggish Electron Transfer of Oxygen-Terminated Moderately Boron-Doped Diamond Electrode Induced by Large Interfacial Capacitance between a Diamond and Silicon Interface.

ABSTRACT: Boron-doped diamond (BDD) has tremendous potential for use as an electrode material with outstanding characteristics. The substrate material of BDD can affect the electrochemical properties of BDD electrodes due to the different junction structures of BDD and the substrate materials. However, the BDD/substrate interfacial properties have not been clarified. In this study, the electrochemical behavior of BDD electrodes with different boron-doping levels (0.1% and 1.0% B/C ratios) synthesized on Si, W, Nb, and Mo substrates was investigated. Potential band diagrams of the BDD/substrate interface were proposed to explain different junction structures and electrochemical behaviors. Oxygen-terminated BDD with moderate boron-doping levels exhibited sluggish electron transfer induced by the large
