In this contribution, we demonstrate a simple, controllable, and “template-free” approach to fabricate diamond networks. It combines the deposition of diamond/β-SiC nanocomposite film with a wet-chemical selective etching of the β-SiC phase. The porosity of these networks was tuned from 15 to $68\%,$ determined by the ratio of the β-SiC phase in the composite films. The electrochemical working potential and the reactivity of redox probes on the diamond networks are similar to those of a flat nanocrystalline diamond film, while their surface areas are hundreds of times larger than that of a flat diamond film (e.g., 490-fold enhancement for a 3 μm thick diamond network). The marriage of the unprecedented physical/chemical features of diamond with inherent advantages of the porous structure makes the diamond network a potential candidate for various applications such as water treatment, energy conversion (batteries or fuel cells), and storage (capacitors), as well as electrochemical and biochemical sensing.}, cin = {PGI-5}, ddc = {540}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106}, pnm = {143 - Controlling Configuration-Based Phenomena (POF3-143)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-143}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000350614600043}, doi = {10.1021/am508851r}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/203324}, }
