Boron doped diamond films have been deposited on Ti substrates by CVD.
Raman spectroscopy reveals the presence of small amounts of nondiamon
d carbon. According to SEM;ind XRD, the diamond Rims polycrystalline w
ith preferential [112] crystallite orientation. Electrochemical measur
ements show that Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-) couple behaves in a quasi-reversible
manner at the Ti/Diamond electrode. The main reason of the successful
preparation of the Ti/Diamond electrode is the formation of an conduc
tive TIC interlayer between the Ti substrate and the diamond coating.
