This book focuses on new research fields of diamond, from its growth to applications. It covers growth of atomically flat diamond films, properties and applications of diamond nanoparticles, diamond nanoparticles based electrodes and their applications for energy storage and conversion (supercapacitors, CO2 conversion etc.). Diamond for biomimetic interface, all electrochemical devices for in vivo detections and photo-electrochemical degradation of environmental hazards are highlighted.

Provides a multidiscipline summary of novel aspects of diamond Contains nanotechnology applications of diamond films Blends both fundamental research and potential industrial applications Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
