ADJUSTING PORE SIZE AND SHAPE TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED CAPACITANCE OF BORON-DOPED DIAMOND ELECTRODES.

Tailoring pore-creating method to fit the various demands of different researchers is the frontier issue in the research of electrode capacitance of boron-doped diamond (BDD). Two critical factors in achieving the desired capacitance are the pore size and shape. This work compares the characteristics and applicability of various pore-creating methods, and reveals the influence mechanism of factors such as surface area, size and shape of the pore, on the capacitance of BDD electrodes. Obtained results could facilitate researchers to develop a personalized pore-creating method to achieve the desired capacitance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
