                         were studied on boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode submitted to 
                         hydrogen and oxygen plasma treatments. The modified BDD films were 
                         applied as electrodes for nitrate electroreduction. The results 
                         showed that both treatments have a strong influence on the copper 
                         deposition and dissolution processes. For BDD treated with 
                         hydrogen plasma the copper electrodeposit was homogeneous with 
                         high particle density. This behavior was attributed to the BDD 
                         surface hydrogenation that improved its conductivity. On the other 
                         hand, the treatment with oxygen plasma was important for the 
                         copper nanoparticle consolidation on BDD surface, confirmed by the 
                         result's reproducibility for nitrate reduction. This performance 
                         may be associated with the formation of oxygen groups that can act 
                         as anchor points for Cu-clusters, enhancing the interfacial 
                         adhesion between diamond and the metal coating. The best 
                         electrochemical nitrate reduction response was obtained in acid 
                         media, where occurred the separation of the nitrate reduction 
                         process and the water reduction reaction.",
