abstract = "Nanostructuring boron-doped diamond (BDD) films increases their
sensitivity and performance when used as electrodes in
electrochemical environments. We have developed a method to
produce such nanostructured, porous electrodes by depositing BDD
thin film onto a densely packed {"} forest{"} of vertically
aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs had
previously been exposed to a suspension of nanodiamond in methanol
causing them to clump together into {"} teepee{"} or {"}
honeycomb{"} structures. These nanostructured CNT/BDD composite
electrodes have been extensively characterized by scanning
electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Not only do these
electrodes possess the excellent, well-known characteristics
associated with BDD (large potential window, chemical inertness,
low background levels), but also they have electroactive areas and
double-layer capacitance values <450 times greater than those for
the equivalent flat BDD electrodes.",
