Abstract

The subject of our work is the investigation of boron doped nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) layers functionalized with photosensitive molecules of manganese phthalocyanine. The functionalized NCD sample was used as a working electrode in a three electrode cell and electrochemically studied. The two methods applied were stationary volt-ampere (VA) measurements and cyclic voltammetry (CV) in dark and under illumination. The VA and CV measurements showed that the electrode has a wide potential range and a high photosensitivity. The results obtained are promising for future application of functionalized diamond electrodes in light conversion systems.
