Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) Electrode VS Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) Electrode
Key Differences Between Boron Doped Diamond(BDD)Electrode and Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) Electrode
In this section, we run a comparison of boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode and mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrode in a vast variety of aspects, ranges cover psychical and chemical properties such as potential windows, background current, and then stability, treatment efficiency, cost of electrode fabrication, followed by application ranges.
Electrochemical Potential Window Comparison Between Boron Doped Diamond(BDD)Electrode and Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) Electrode
According to the chart from the left section, boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode has larger potential window than mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrode, boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode has a potential window at 3-4V according to previous tests, while mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrode has a potential window of 1.6-2V, electrochemical potential window is critical for wastewater electrolysis processes, as wider electrochemical window expedite electrogeneration of oxidizing agents within the water discharge processes, which means once immersed within electrolyte/solution, wastewater for water treatment niche, and electric applied between the anode and cathode, boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode allows wider operating conditions and this electrode maximum its ability to generate powerful oxidizing agents.
A Comparison of Background Current Between Boron Doped Diamond(BDD)Electrode and Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) Electrode
According to the chart within the left section of this content, boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode has significantly lower background current than mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrode thanks to its unique Sp2 structures on the surface, which generates less electrical noises during electrochemical reactions, for instance, electrochemical analysis for its better sensitivity, this makes boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode better material for sensitive measurement, even in low concentration. Mixed metal oxide electrode, however, has a higher background current than boron doped diamond BDD electrode, which makes boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode an ideal electrode material for specific electrochemical applications.
Comparison of Stability Between Boron Doped Diamond(BDD)Electrode and Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) Electrode
Compared to a mixed metal oxide electrode, a boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode is generally considered to be significantly more stable, exhibiting unmatched resistance to corrosion and fouling for its unique diamond structure, resulting in a longer lifespan and consistent performance in harsh electrochemical environments.
Unlike mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrode, boron doped diamond (BDD) has an unique SP3 hybridized carbon bonds which eventually create a low adsorption capacity, reduce reactions with various chemicals and less chance of fouling, and it’s chemically inert, BDD electrode is resistant to chemical attack, which means you can use BDD electrode in strong acids, and what is more, boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode is mechanically durable, which makes it an electrode material for long term electrochemical performances in different applications.
Boron doped diamond (BDD) electrodes are fabricated via chemical vapor deposition, which is a controlled synthesis process, however mechanical and performance stability of mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrodes generally count on the exact type of metal oxides applied while preparing these electrode materials.
A Brief Comparison of Oxidation Capbility Between Boron Doped Diamond(BDD)Electrode and Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) Electrode
This section is to compare oxidation capability of boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode with mixed metal oxide electrode, as you may have noticed the charts within the left part, boron doped diamond electrodes performed a way better oxidation power over COD according to different temperatures and current density, and reaction time, thanks to its wide potential window, and expedited its unmatched capability of massive electrogeneration of a vast variety of strong oxidizing agents, here for instance, hydroxyl radicals, which is the second strongest oxidizing agents that is available for removing refractory organic compounds, these properties makes boron doped diamond BDD electrode an ideal electrode material for electro oxidation of refractory organic compounds lead to advanced oxidation processes water treatment application. However, mixed metal oxide MMO electrodes such as titanium dioxide ruthenium, and iridium electrodes, are less corrsion resistant, increased more chance of fouling, shorter lifespan than boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode, and less efficient in applications such as wastewater treatment.
