This study explores the energy storage properties of electrodes based on bromine and oxygen intercalated graphite, synthesized using a strong oxidizing agent and hydro bromic acid at room temperature. A novel approach was employed by utilizing piranha and hydro bromic acid as an alternative to meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid and hydrogen peroxide (m-CPBA and H2O2) for post-oxidation, significantly enhancing oxygen and bromine simultaneously on the graphite surface. The Br-GO material was extensively characterized using PXRD, XPS, BET, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and FT-IR, confirming the successful intercalation of bromine and different oxygen moieties onto the graphite surface. Electrochemical characteristics of the Br-GO electrode were analysed using CV, EIS, and GCD techniques with 6 M KOH as the electrolytic solution. These results indicated that the Br-GO electrode exhibited quasi-rectangular capacitance behaviour, achieving a high specific capacitance of 371.4 F g<sup>−1</sup> at a current density of 1 A g<sup>−1</sup> and maintaining excellent cycling stability with only 9 % capacitance loss over 5000 cycles. This enhanced performance can be obtained due to improved ionic mobility facilitated by the bromine and oxygen content on the graphite surface.

Therefore, optimizing the crystal quality and minimizing defect density to maximize electronic properties (e.g. conductivity) of BDD is of great importance. This study investigates the influence of different hydrogenated nanodiamond (H-ND) seeding layers on the growth and properties of BDD films. Three types of seeding H-NDs were examined: detonation (H-DND) and top-down high-pressure high-temperature NDs (TD_HPHT H-ND), and boron-doped NDs (H-BND) newly synthesized at high-pressure high-temperature from an organic precursor. Purified and oxidized BND (O-BND) samples yielded clear, blue, and stable colloidal dispersions. Subsequent thermal hydrogenation reversed their zeta potential from – 32 mV to +44 mV and promoted the seeding of negatively charged surfaces. All three H-ND types formed dense seeding layers on SiO<sub>2</sub> and Si/SiO<sub>x</sub> substrates, which enabled the growth of BDD films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Despite variations in initial surface coverage among the seeding layers (13–25 %), all NDs facilitated the growth of fully closed BDD films approximately 1 μm thick. Significant differences in film morphology and electrical properties were observed. H-BND nucleation yielded the BDD films with the largest crystals (up to 1000 nm) and lowest sheet resistance (400 Ω/sq). This superior performance is attributed to the uniform particle shape and monocrystalline character of H-BND, as corroborated by FTIR, TEM, and SAXS measurements. These findings highlight the critical role of seeding layer properties in determining consequent diamond film evolution and establish H-BNDs as promising seeding material for the growth of high-quality BDD films suitable for electronic and electrochemical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11266,"journal":{"name":"Diamond and Related Materials","volume":"154 ","pages":"Article 112127"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
