Boron diamond Diafilm™ EP

polycrystallineCVD

Our Diafilm™ EP has been specifically engineered as a solid, free standing CVD diamond electrode material, eliminating common problems associated with thin-film diamond coating such as coating delamination. Combined with its extremely wide solvent window, this is the material of choice for demanding electrochemistry applications, delivering longer life, lower process costs and enabling new types of processes to be developed Extremely wide solvent window Diafilm™ EP is a solid, free-standing form of polycrystalline boron doped diamond (BDD). It has been specifically developed to operate at very high current densities (above 10 000 A m-2) and has an extremely wide solvent window that enables the application of ultra high electropotentials in ionic solvents. In water, boron doped diamond electrodes are able to generate shortlived, strongly oxidizing species such as the hydroxyl radical at the anode surface and high concentrations of species in solution such as ozone New opportunities in chemical processing Diafilm™ EP offers the capability to undertake chemical processes that would otherwise be expensive, hazardous or prohibitive by other means. Tangible benefits include the reduction in consumable usage, increasing productivity and driving efficiency gains. Significant environmental benefits include reductions in the volume of hazardous waste and overall disposal costs. Smaller, more compact electrochemical cells In an electrochemical process, the work done is proportional to the total charge flowing through the cell.
