Diamond coated electrodes have been investigated worldwide over the past number of years with notable results. It is possible to vary electrical properties of diamond from semiconductor (very wide band gap) to close to metallically conductive by varying the boron doping level (10 19 -10 21 cm −3 ). The most important electrochemical properties are the very high corrosion stability in electrochemical applications and the extremely high overvoltage for water electrolysis.
