The effect of the surface termination was the same for both the nanostructured B-UNCD film with sp2-bonded carbon atoms in the grain boundaries and the well faceted B-MCD film with micron-sized grains and largely devoid of sp2 carbon.
Effects of surface topography and earth curvature on surface deformation.
The effects of film morphology and surface termination on the direct electron transfer of horse heart cytochrome c on boron-doped ultrananocrystalline (B-UNCD) and microcrystalline (B-MCD) diamond thin-film electrodes were investigated.
The results of the patterning of the surface termination were visualized by scanning electron microscopy revealing different contrasts of the areas with different terminations.
TEM images provided further insights into the nature of the surface termination.
The proper tuning of the Pd loading on a foreign metal along with the surface termination effects of the BDD electrode plays a crucial role in achieving a high mass (4.26 × 106 mA/g) and specific (12.37 mA/cm2) electrocatalytic activity of Pd towards ethanol electrooxidation.
Effect of surface finishing.
The surface termination of both ND types was normalized after the etching using oxidative mixture of mineral acids.
This limits the possibilities for surface termination of the diamond particle.
