In order to produce polycrystalline oxygen-terminated boron-doped diamond (BDD)
electrodes suitable for electroanalysis (ie, widest solvent window, lowest capacitive currents …

Abstract According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 2 billion people each
year are infected worldwide with flu-like pathogens including influenza. This is a contagious …

The present paper provides first a state of art on hydrogenation treatments performed either
by plasma or by annealing. To compare with other surface terminations, specific assets of …

Hydrogen terminations (C–H) confer to diamond layers specific surface properties such as a
negative electron affinity and a superficial conductive layer, opening the way to specific …

Branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI) and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid
(HEPES) were used collaboratively to reduce silver nitrate under UV irradiation for the …

Diamond is well known to possess many favourable qualities for implantation into living
tissue including biocompatibility, biostability, and for some applications hardness. However …

Nanodiamonds (NDs) emerge as excellent candidates for biological applications but their
functionalization is still an issue. By analogy with hydrogenated diamond layers, an efficient …

Anodic oxidation is a popular way to modify termination bonds at boron doped diamond
electrodes altering their electrochemical and physicochemical properties. Our studies …

One of the most attractive features of diamond is its robust p-type surface conductivity that
develops under atmospheric conditions on hydrogen-terminated samples. The as-grown …

In this work, we have used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to investigate the nature
of surface adsorbed species and their sensitivity to the boron concentration [B] in two sets of …
