Abstract: A method of fabricating a plurality of single crystal CVD diamonds. The method includes mounting a plurality of single crystal diamond substrates on a first carrier substrate. The plurality of single crystal diamond substrates is subjected to a first CVD diamond growth process to form a plurality of single crystal CVD diamonds on the plurality of single crystal diamond substrates. The plurality of single crystal CVD diamonds are mounted in a recessed carrier substrate and subjected to a second CVD diamond growth process.

Abstract: An electrode comprising synthetic high-pressure high-temperature diamond material, the diamond material comprising a substitutional boron concentration of between 1×1020 and 5×1021 atoms/cm3 and a nitrogen concentration of no more than 1019 atoms/cm3. The electrode has a ΔE3/4-1/4 as measured with respect to a saturated calomel reference electrode in an aqueous solution containing 0.1 M KNO3 and 1 mM of Ru(NH3)63+ selected any of less than 70 mV, less than 68 mV, less than 66 mV, and less than 64 mV, and/or a peak to peak separation ΔEp as measured with respect to a saturated calomel reference electrode in an aqueous solution containing 0.1 M KNO3 and 1 mM of Ru(NH3)63+ selected any of less than 70 mV, less than 68 mV, less than 66 mV, and less than 64 mV.

Abstract: An electrochemical sensor apparatus and electrochemical sensing method are described, using one or more working electrodes (110) of boron doped diamond (BDD). A cathodic reduction process provides a cathodic measurement and, substantially simultaneously, an anodic oxidation process provides an anodic measurement. A sum of a content of two equilibrium species within an aqueous system is obtained using both the cathodic measurement and the anodic measurement. One example measures total free chlorine by simultaneously measuring hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl-). The BDD working electrode (110) comprises at least one ablated region (115) which introduces non-diamond carbon sp2 material. The ablated region (115) may comprise one or more grooves (114) which are cut into the working surface (112), e.g. by a laser.
