Eletrochemical Characteristics of Ozone Generator using Boron-doped Diamond Electrode

붕소가 도핑된 다이아몬드전극을 이용한 오존발생기의 전기화학적 특성

Thin, Boron-doped conducting diamond films are expected to be excellent electrodes for industrial electrolysis. Boron-doped conducting diamond films were used as anode for generating ozone gas by electrolysis of acidic solution. In this work, we have studied ozone generating system using Boron-doped Diamond electrode. Electrochemical cell and ozone generating system were designed for decreasing the temperature of the system, which was elevated during the reaction. by circulation of electrolyte in the system. In order to determine the ozone generation properties of diamond electrode, experimental conditions, electrolyte concentration, temperature, flow rate and reaction time were varied diversely. As a result, we could confirm that ozone gas was generated successfully and the performance of diamond electrode was stable while PbO$_2$ electrode was disintegrated. Actually we are found that ozone amount increased by lowering the temperature of electrolyte.
