Boosting the electrochemical properties of diamond electrodes using carbon nanotube scaffolds

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) with high surface areas as a template onto which boron doped diamond is grown, and the resulting composite was found to exhibit a double layer capacitance as high as 0.58mF cm−2 and very low impedance when compared to planar diamond electrodes in phosphate buffer saline solution.

Porous diamond with high electrochemical performance

TL;DR: In this paper, a very novel material based on boron-doped diamond grown on a highly porous polypyrrole scaffold prepared by chemical vapour deposition was introduced, which exhibited remarkable properties, including a large double layer capacitance with values reaching up to 3mF cm −2 in aqueous LiClO 4 and a low electrochemical impedance, thus highly competitive with respect to other nanostructured diamond materials as recently reported.

Etching mechanism of diamond by Ni nanoparticles for fabrication of nanopores

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple, fast and cost-effective etching technique to create nanopores in diamond membrane by self-assembled Ni nanoparticles is proposed, in which a diamond film is annealed with thin Ni layers at 800-850 degrees C in hydrogen atmosphere.

Formation of oriented nanostructures in diamond using metallic nanoparticles.

TL;DR: With this technique, nanopores with lateral sizes in the range of 10-100 nm, and as deep as about 600 nm, in diamond membranes were produced without any need for a lithography process, which opens the opportunities for fabricating porous diamond membranes for chemical sensing applications.

A diamond nanowire single-photon source

TL;DR: A single-photon source composed of a nitrogen-vacancy centre in a diamond nanowire, which produces ten times greater flux than bulk diamond devices, while using ten times less power, enables a new class of devices for photonic and quantum information processing based on nanostructured diamond.

Fabrication of diamond nanowires for quantum information processing applications

TL;DR: In this article, a design and a top-down fabrication method for realizing diamond nanowires in both bulk single crystal and poly-crystalline diamond is presented, where inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactive ion etching (RIE) with oxygen is used to fabricate the nanowire.

Smooth and high-rate reactive ion etching of diamond

TL;DR: In this article, a reactive ion etching (RIE) system was used to etch diamond surfaces with patterned Al masks under conditions that the RF power was 100-280 W, the CF 4 /O 2 ratio was 0-12.5% and the gas pressure 2-40 Pa.

Composite optical microcavity of diamond nanopillar and silica microsphere.

TL;DR: The composite nanopillar-microsphere system overcomes the poor controllability of a nanocrystal-based microcavity system and takes full advantage of the exceptional spin properties of NV centers and the ultrahigh quality factor of silica microspheres.
