Electrochemical reactors with diamond electrodes for aqueous electrolytes

Boron doped diamond (BDD) electrodes have a very broad application potential. This is due to the high over potential at the cathode (hydrogen formation at -1,2 V) and anodic (oxygen formation at 2.5 V) water electrolysis. This makes BDD electrodes suitable for applications, like: Efficient disinfection by killing bacteria, water treatment via direct chemical oxidation of all carbon types and cathodic reduction of CO₂ in hydrocarbons.

We offer different electrochemical reactors with diamond electrodes for research partners and industries.

Electrochemical reactors with diamond electrodes:

• Batch systems with CVD-diamond for expanded metals or plate-like electrodes for water treatment up to 1m³ water volume.
• Experimental flow reactors.
• Mini water disinfection systems on USB-basis.
