Despite the fact that increased interest in these topics can be traced
in the last seven years, in many studies the boron doping level is
given only as a B/C ratio in the gas phase without stating concen-
tration [B] in the deposited films because its precise determination
demands sophisticated, not commonly available instrumentation
(secondary ion mass spectrometry or boron nuclear reaction
analysis). Rough estimation can be made also by measurement of
resistivity using four-point probe; nevertheless, overestimation of
[B] cannot be excluded due to contribution of non-diamond im-
purities to the overall conductivity. Mott-Schottky plots are appli-
cable for the determination of charge carriers in semiconductive
BDD films [5,7].
Importantly, once the CVD reactor is used for BDD deposition, it
is rather complicated to cleanse off the boron, and thus films
deposited without addition of the boron source may still exhibit
conductivity sufficient for electrochemical measurements. For
example, increase of signal height and shift to less positive poten-
tials by about 0.2 V was documented for oxidation of uric acid with
increasing added boron content of 0e2000 ppm, with well-
developed signals for the “0 ppm” BDD electrode [164].
Only few studies address the influence of boron doping level on
properties important for electroanalysis such as the width of the
potential windows [165e168], or voltammetric responses of
organic analytes. Predominantly, it has been found that the po-
tential window is narrowing with increasing [B], more significantly
at the negative potentials. In aqueous media the overall potential
window widths reported in Refs. [158,168,169] vary between ca
2e3.5 V. Obviously, the HER and OER are connected with boron-
rich places on the BDD surface, representing active sites for
adsorption of reactants/intermediates (Hþ or H2O/H for HER; H2O/
HO radicals for OER) and for efficient electron transfer. Depending
on the boron doping level, difference in the potential window
width can reach up to more than 1 V as proved for a set of semi-
