Abstract

Electrochemical behavior of the diamond-based composites: a nanodiamond—pyrocarbon composite and Carbal, as well as vacuum-high-temperature-annealed polycrystalline diamond is studied by the cathodic lithium incorporation from LiPF 6 solution in a (1 : 4) propylene carbonate—diethyl carbonate mixture. The amount of incorporated lithium steadily increases with the nondiamond (graphite-like) carbon content in the composite. The intercalation capacity of Carbal equals ~33 mA-h per g of the graphite-like carbon. It is concluded that the graphite-like carbon distributed in the nano-(or micro-)diamond carcass is the electrochemically active phase in the composites.
