Un-doped polycrystalline diamond thin films have been grown on tungsten substrates by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HF CVD) using a hydrogen and methanol vapor mixture. Diamond films have been analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cyclic voltammetric behavior of diamond films of different quality and morphology has been studied in acetonitryle with (n-Bu)4NClO4 and in 0.1 M KCl aqueous solutions. Preliminary cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements showed that our electrodes have a wide potential range over which negligible background response current is observed. The potential windows depend on the type of solvent. In the case of water solution the decomposition of water occurs electrochemically and evolves O2 during positive (anodic) polarization and H2evolution during negative (cathodic) polarization. The electrochemical properties of diamond electrodes have been evaluated by performing cyclic voltammetry measurements in [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- with 0.1 M KCl. The electrode demonstrates reversible kinetics during electrochemical analysis.

Purpose: The main purpose of these studies was to show the applicability of CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) diamond layer in electrochemistry and to work out the technology of manufacturing diamond electrodes. Design/methodology/approach: The diamond films were deposited on tungsten substrate by HF CVD technique, and then, their quality was checked by Raman spectroscopy. It was shown, using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) measurements, that un-doped diamond films are chemically stable in aqueous solutions. Findings: The results of cyclic voltammetry measurements show that diamond electrode on tungsten substrate is electrochemically stable in aqueous solutions over a wide potential range (-3000 mV to 2000 mV). The Raman spectra confirmed the good quality of obtained diamond layer. Research limitations/implications: In particular, it was shown that diamond electrode showed a wide potential window, very low background current, chemical and physical stability. Practical implications: Presented results showed that CVD diamond films can find application in production of diamond electrodes for electrochemical application. The sensitivity of CVD diamond layers to the electroactive species indicates on possibility of application of this material for construction of chemical and biological sensors. Originality/value: The characteristics of diamond electrodes and the resistivity of this material to the chemical attack indicate that it can be employed in a number of electrochemical applications and additionally it can work in harsh environment. The HF CVD diamond layer seems to be the new, promising and versatile material for electrochemical applications.
