Boron doped diamond has been recognized as outstanding electrode for electrochemical applications ranging from analysis to redox triggered chemistry.  
Diamond shows the widest electrochemical potential window (about 3.5 V), is chemically inert, biocompatible and can be tuned from hydrophobic to hydrophilic with negative (- 0.7eV) to positive (+2.4 eV) electron-affinities. Diamond can be grown with metallic to semiconducting conductivities at 300 K by boron doping in combination with optical transparency for photo-electrochemistry. The surface of diamond can be enlarged by bottom-up growth by a factor of 100 (see figures) if diamond wires or hollows are grown.

These properties make diamond a perfect material for applications in electrochemistry, photo-electrochemistry, as super-capacitors (energy storage), as bio-sensors, as bio-labels (NV-doped nano-diamond particles) and as electron emitters for solvated electron chemistry.
