Diamond electrodes: Diversity and maturity

Boron-doped diamond electrodes have attracted increasing interest from researchers due to their outstanding properties for electroanalysis and other electrochemical applications. Material quality and availability have come a long way since the initial reports on the basic electrochemical properties back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In this review, we highlight how diamond electrochemistry has diversified and matured in recent years in terms of the understanding of structure-property relationships and the development of new applications of materials in electroanalytical chemistry.
