Electrode and electron emission applications for n-type doped nanocrystalline materials

摘要

An electrode having a surface of an electrically conducting ultrananocrystalline diamond having not less than 10¹⁹ atoms/cm³ nitrogen with an electrical conductivity at ambient temperature of not less than about 0.1 (Omega.cm)^-1 is disclosed as is a method of remediating toxic materials with the electrode. An electron emission device incorporating an electrically conducting ultrananocrystalline diamond having not less that 10¹⁹ atoms/cm³ nitrogen with an electrical conductivity at ambient temperature of not less than about 0.1 (Omega.cm)^-1 is disclosed.
