Russian Journal of Electrochemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Because of its extraordinary chemical stability, diamond is a perspective electrode material to be used in electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering. In this review-article, the results of basic studies in the synthetic-diamond electrochemistry are summarized: the electrochemical kinetics, photoelectrochemistry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Relations between the semiconductor nature and crystal structure of diamond and its electrochemical behavior are revealed. Prospects for using diamond electrodes in the electroanalysis, electrosynthesis, and environmentally-oriented industry are outlined.
