Widest potential window and high chemical stability, electrogeneration efficiency of oxidizing agents such as hydroxyl radicals and etc.
BDD electrode on niobium and silicon substrates could be suitable for high efficient electrolytic treatment of industrial effluent treatment with bio-refractory organic compounds. Even if the effluents are high concentration, high salinity and toxic. What is more, boron-doped diamond electrodes have demonstrated great removing rates over ammonium, and heavy metal ions.
Besides the electrochemical water treatment application which conducted in water treatment industry, there are different electrochemical application of boron-doped diamond electrode: water disinfection, electrochemical synthesis, electrochemical analysis, electrochemical hydrogen generation, surface modification, electrochemical detection and treatment.
