摘要

Abstract

In this article

a series of highly boron-doped diamond ([B

]

−3

) electrodes with small gradient variations in boron concentration were prepared by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HF-CVD). Reactive blue 19 (RB-19) dye solution was used as a prototype wastewater. Interestingly

we found that the electrochemical properties (electrochemically active surface area and oxygen evolution potential) and the electrochemical degradation performance did not deteriorate linearly with increasing boron concentration. Specifically

the electrochemically active surface area of the electrode at [B

]

/[C

]

= 50

000 ppm was the highest of 9.366 cm

the chromaticity removal rate of RB-19 dye wastewater reached 100% after 90 min

and the TOC removal rate reached 74.48% after 180 min with the lowest energy consumption.
