|
Title: Diamond Electrodes Produced by HF CVD Method for
Electrochemical Applications The problem the
inventor(s) wanted to solve: In this work we showed the
applicability of diamond layer and nanocrystalline diamond as a working
electrode for cyclic voltammetry applications. Description: In
many cases the direct oxidation of organic species in aqueous solutions using
simple metal or carbon electrode is not possible because the high potentials
required usually result in the oxidation of water. CVD diamond electrodes
exhibit a wide potential window of water stability, low background currents
and stability under strongly oxidizing conditions. It will be possible to
conduct investigations of previously inaccessible chemistries. Presentation: The special electrodes arrangement is proposed for cyclic voltammeter measurements. POSTER Advantages: Synthetic,
polycrystalline diamond is a new material for electrodes, exhibiting a high
oxygen overpotential and exceptional stability in comparison to traditional
electrodes. These electrodes are candidates for the production of oxidants
such as peroxodisulfic acid, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and hypochloric acid.
They will also allow to develop the electro-chemical oxidation/reduction of
organic and inorganic compounds for wastewater treatment. Stage of development: Text only, poster or design. Documentation
