  • Boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode has an extremely wide potential window in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes, very low and stable background current and high resistance to surface fouling due to weak adsorption. These features endow the BDD electrode with potentially wide electrochemical applications, in such areas as wastewater treatment, electrosynthesis and electrochemical sensors. In this study, the characteristics of the BDD electrode were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and evaluated by accelerated life test. The effects of manufacturing conditions on the BDD electrode were determined and remedies for negative effects were noted in order to improve the electrode lifetime in wastewater treatment. The lifetime of the BDD electrode was influenced by manufacturing conditions, such as surface roughness, seeding method and rate of introduction of gases into the reaction chamber. The results of this study showed that BDD electrodes manufactured using sanding media of different sizes resulted in the most effective electrode lifetime when the particle size of alumina used was from $75{\sim}106{\mu}m$ (#150). Ultrasonic treatment was found to be more effective than polishing treatment in the test of seeding processes. In addition to this, BDD electrodes manufactured by introducing gases at different rates resulted in the most effective electrode lifetime when the introduced gas had a composition of hydrogen gas 94.5 vol.% carbon source gas 1.6 vol.% and boron source gas 3.9 vol.%.

  • Ozonic use of sterilization and heat treatment of raw material to extend the conservation period of food recently is increased by hard vegetable or microorganism sterilization purpose of fruit. If ozone can create as is easy comparatively because do air or oxygen by raw material and schedule period passes, there is advantage that do not leave the second contaminant because being gotten restored by oxygen. Also, because the effect is big to decolorization beside sterilization effect about microorganism, deodorization, disjointing of venomousness hazardous substance, food save, indoor air purge, good hand processing, hydrospace agricultural chemicals processing etc. the use extent is wide. This research ran parallel a sterilization experiment of E.coli colitis germs by ozone that manufacture ozonizer that use doped diamond maund electrode (BDD) by boron and searched special quality electrochemistry enemy of the ozonizer and is created. E.coli. After cultivate E.coli colitis germs during 37C 1 day is LB ship, after do ozonation, was sterilized more than 90% by ozone as result that examine sterilizing power by substance microscope and could confirm excellency of diamond electrode.

  • A boron-doped diamond(BDD) electrode is attractive for many electrochemical applications due to its distinctive properties: an extremely wide potential window in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes, a very low and stable background current and a high resistance to surface fouling. An Ar gas mixture of $H_2$, $CH_4$ and trimethylboron (TMB, 0.1 % $C_3H_9B$ in $H_2$) is used in a hot filament chemical vapor deposition(HFCVD) reactor. The effect of argon addition on quality, structure and electrochemical property is investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and cyclic voltammetry(CV). In this study, BDD electrodes are manufactured using different $Ar/CH_4$ ratios ($Ar/CH_4$ = 0, 1, 2 and 4). The results of this study show that the diamond grain size decreases with increasing $Ar/CH_4$ ratios. On the other hand, the samples with an $Ar/CH_4$ ratio above 5 fail to produce a BDD electrode. In addition, the BDD electrodes manufactured by introducing different $Ar/CH_4$ ratios result in the most inclined to (111) preferential growth when the $Ar/CH_4$ ratio is 2. It is also noted that the electrochemical properties of the BDD electrode improve with the process of adding argon.

  • An unconventional fabrication technique of nanoelectrode was developed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and hydrogel. Until now, the precise control of electroactive area down to a few nm2 has always been an obstacle, which limits the wide application of nanoelectrodes. Here, the nanometer-sized contact between the boron-doped diamond (BDD) as conductive AFM tip and the agarose hydrogel as solid electrolyte was well governed by the feedback amplitude of oscillation in the non-contact mode of AFM. Consequently, this low-cost and feasible approach gives rise to new possibilities for the fabrication of nanoelectrodes. The electroactive area controlled by the set point of AFM was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the ferrocenmethanol (FcMeOH) combined with quasi-solid agarose hydrogel as an electrolyte. Single copper (Cu) nanoparticle was deposited at the apex of the AFM tip using this platform whose electrocatalytic activity for nitrate reduction was then investigated by CV and Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively.

  • BDD(Boron Doped Diamond) 전극은 전위창이 넓고, 다른 불용성 전극에 비해 산소발생과전압이 높아 물을 전기화학적인 방법으로 처리하는 영역에 있어 매우 효과적일 뿐만 아니라, 전통적인 불용성 전극에 비해 전극 표면에서 수산화 라디칼(-OH)과 오존(O3)의 발생량이 월등히 높아 수처리용 전극으로서의 유용성이 매우 높다. 따라서 BDD 전극을 수처리용 전극에 사용하는 경우 수산화 라디칼(-OH)과 오존(O3), 과산화수소(H2O2) 등과 같은 산화제의 생성은 물론이고, 염소(Cl2)가 포함되어 있는 전해액에서는 차아염소산(HOCl)이나 차아염소산이온(OCl-)과 같은 강력한 산화제가 발생되어 전기화학적 폐수처리, 전기화학적 정수처리, 선박평형수 처리 등의 분야에 널리 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상온 및 상압에서 운전이 가능하고 난분해성 오염물질 제거 효과가 뛰어난 전기화학적 고도산화공정(Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Process, EAOP)에 적합한 대면적의 BDD 전극을 개발하고 자 하였다. 이러한 BDD 전극의 성막 방법으로는 필라멘트 가열 CVD, 마이크로파 플라즈마 CVD, DC 플라즈마 CVD 등이 널리 알려져 있는데 최근에는 설비의 투자비가 비교적 저렴하고, 대면적의 기판처리가 용의한 필라멘트 가열 화학기상증착법(Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition, HFCVD)이 상업적으로 각광을 받고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 HFCVD 방법을 이용하여 반응 가스의 투입비율, BDD 박막의 두께, 기판의 재질 등에 따른 여러 가지 성막 조건들을 검토하여 $100{\times}100mm$ 이상의 대면적 BDD 전극을 개발하였다. Fig. 1은 본 연구를 통하여 얻어진 BDD 전극의 표면 및 단면 SEM이다.

  • Phosphorus is one of the interesting impurities in diamond, because it produces n-type semiconducting character. The character has been studied with spectroscopic methods as well as electric method, but most of the diamond used for these studies are conducted by the CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamond. In this study, we synthesized the phosphorus doped HPHT (High Pressure and High Temperature) diamond and investigated the characterization using CL spectroscopy to determine how phosphorus incorporated. As a result, the undocumented peaks of 248 and 603 nm as well as the reported peaks (239 nm, 240 ~ 270 nm) at the previous studies were observed. These luminescence peaks may be due to the complex defect of phosphorus with other impurities such as boron and nitrogen.
