abstract = "The influence of the boron doped micro and ultra-nanocrystalline
diamond (BDD and BDUND) morphologies in the copper
photoelectrodeposition was investigated. Copper particles were
deposited in the potentiostat mode and under UV irradiation for
both electrodes. For BDD, the copper deposits presented high
density and uniformity all over the crystal faces. This behavior
may be explained by its semiconductor character that promoted
additional photogenerated electrons enhancing the copper reduction
reaction. Otherwise, for BDUND the copper particles were randomly
located with low density. Concerning the nitrate reduction
process, Cu/BDD presented a better response and reproducibility
compared to those for the Cu/BDUND electrode.",
