Notes About BDD Electrode for Electrochemical Application
Known for its conductive nature and remarkable electrochemical properties, BDD electrode redefines performance and application ranges of electrode materials. Applications of this electrode material ranges from wastewater treatment to water disinfection, electrochemical analysis, electrochemical surface modification, electrochemical detection.
Amongst a vast range of applications, water treatment is the most promising one as these electrode materials are implemented to treatment various types of bio-refractory waste streams, and complex industrial effluents for a long time, thanks to the high oxygen evolution potential, low background current, and robust nature.
Water disinfection is a critical application of boron doped diamond electrode as it has higher overpotential for oxygen and hydrogen evolutions, which expedite electrochemical ozone production through water electrolysis.
Ozone is one of the most powerful oxidizing agents, disinfection could be done in an eco-friendly manner as there will be no addition of chemicals, and no harmful chemical left.
Boromond team have developed BDD Ozone generator, for application in food sanitization, home appliances, and swimming pool & spa disinfection.
Boron-doped diamond electrode has much larger potential window means there will be no significant undesired side reactions happen on the surface of boron doped diamond electrode once electrical potential applied, lower background current expedites electron transfer rate, enhances sensitivity, and improve detection reliability.

FAQ About BDD Electrode
What is BDD electrode?
BDD electrode or boron-doped diamond electrode, is a kind of electrode catalyst material, coating with a silicon or niobium substrate, with a thin layer made of diamond and doping with boron, those substrates provide the needed mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, while the boron doped diamond coating optimal electrocatalytic activity and also corrosion resistance making it an non-active catalyst material for different applications.
Why are BDD electrodes used instead of other materials like graphite or platinum,Or mmo?
BDD electrodes have some advantages over other electrode materials, as boron doped diamond BDD electrodes have wider potential window, comparatively lower background current, and high chemical and mechanical stability, biocompatible, and unmatched electrochemical oxidation ability. These unique properties enable boron doped diamond electrode to more sensitive and reliable in electrochemical analysis, water and wastewater treatment, especially in harsh environments like corrosive or high-temperature, highly toxic, high sanility conditions, and what is more, bdd electrodes are ready to be customized to different forms to be functionable for different implements.
What are the typical components of a BDD electrode?
BDD electrodes generally consists of two main parts:
Substrate: Usually made of commercially available silicon or niobium, substrates provide the needed mechanical strength, support, and electrical conductivity, these are crticial for electrode materials.
BDD Coating: It’s a thin layer of boron doped diamond, we doping diamond coatings with boron via chemical vapor depositions, to impact electrical conductivity, electorchemical performances, micro structures, and etc. Thickness of BDD coating may differ when it comes to specific application.
What are some common applications for BDD electrodes?
MMO electrodes are used in a wide range of applications, including:
Boron-doped diamond BDD electrodes are highly versatile and widely used in various implements, especially in the fields of wastewater treatment via degrading and eventually removing persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and other hazardous compounds from water through electrochemical oxidation. Environmental monitoring, and biomedical sensing, that is to detect specific substances. BDD electrodes can be adopted for electrochemical synthesis It can be employed for the electrogeneration of ozone for water sanitizations, an alternative way to conventional cholride sanitizations.
What types of wastewater can be treated by BDD electrodes??
BDD electrodes can be adopted to treat a wide range of wastewater, those are considered complex, with high concentration of organic compounds, high COD, and waste streams with toxic or biorefractory organic contaminants, mainly via electrochemical oxidation wastewater treatment processes. BDD electrodes are highly effective in oxidizing and mineralizing organic compounds such as persistent organic pollutants(POPs), active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and other recaltriant pollutants, therefore it can be adopted to treat organic wastewater.
With unmatched oxidation capability of combining direct oxidation with indirect oxidation, BDD electrodes can remove organic matters in a very efficient way, therefore BDD electrodes could be adopted to treat wastewater with high COD levels.
Robust and corrosion resistant BDD electrodes can effectively degrade toxic or organic pollutants that are refractory to conventional treatment methods, which makes it an ideal electrode material for treating complex industrial wastewater.
