研究目的
Understanding the influence of pore size of titanium (Ti) substrate on the capacitive properties of boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode.
研究成果
The pore size of Ti substrate can significantly influence the surface structure and capacitive properties of Ti/BDD electrodes. The Ti30.0/BDD electrode exhibited superior capacitive properties due to its higher sp2-C bonds content, sp3-C bond with doped boron atom, more closely interlaced grains, and larger specific surface area. The study provides a mechanism for how pore size affects the capacitance properties of the Ti/BDD electrode.
研究不足
The study focuses on the influence of pore size on the capacitive properties of Ti/BDD electrodes, but does not explore the effects of other substrate materials or deposition conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
BDD films were deposited on Ti substrates with five different pore sizes using hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD). The influence of the pore size on capacitive properties was assessed.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Five different Ti substrates were chosen, all of them having dimensions of 10 x 10 mm2 but differing porosities - 2.5, 5.0, 20.0, 30.0, 50.0 mm.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Seven tungsten filaments with a uniform size of 0.4 mm (diameter) and 180 mm (length) were arranged in an interval of 8 mm. The main deposition parameters of Ti/BDD film were: voltage of 39 V, electric current of 104 A, substrate temperature of 700 °C and gas pressure of 3 KPa, C/H ratio of 1% and B/C ratio of 400 ppm.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The deposition process comprised two steps: (i) nucleating period of 0.5 h, during which, CH4 acted as the carbon source for nucleation. The deposition parameter for this was: CH4:H2 = 10:1000 (sccm); (ii) growing period of 7.5 h, during which ethanol replaced with CH4 as the carbon source for growing. The deposition parameter was: H2(bubble):B2O3/H2/C2H5OH: H2 = 25: 50:1000 (sccm).
5:Data Analysis Methods
The capacitive characteristics were assessed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). These tests were conducted in a 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution using the CHI660B electrochemical workstation.
