Abstract

This paper reports on green chemical functionalization of hydrogen-terminated boron-doped diamond (BDD) surfaces with aryldiazonium salts in the presence of ionic liquids. The reaction takes place at room temperature in air without any external bias in either hydrophobic (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate) or hydrophilic (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate) ionic liquids. The resulting surfaces were characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements.
