“…Due to its high secondary electron emission coefficient, large thermal conductivity, good chemical inertness, and high durability, the thin-film diamond has been widely investigated as a cathode for PD. − The electrically insulating nature of diamond limits its use, so it is significant to look for highly electrically conductive diamond films for PD. On the other hand, the fabrication of 1D nanostructures in diamonds has the potential to improve their electrical properties . Nanostructuring of diamonds can be achieved using a top–down approach such as wet chemical route, , template-assisted etching, template-free etching, − and random mask-less etching, to achieve nanostructures in the form of nanocones, nanopillars, and nanowires.…”
