The mechanism and kinetics of ultrasound-enhanced electrochemical oxidation of phenol on boron-doped diamond and Pt electrodes

Chemometric study on the electrochemical incineration of nitrilotriacetic acid using platinum and boron-doped diamond anode

“…It should be noted that the superiority of BDD over Pt in the bulk electrolysis is not a new finding since it has been confirmed by many researchers (Guinea et al, 2008;Zhao et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2013b). In these works, the different capabilities of these two anodes are explained in terms of oxygen over-potential and surface roughness.…”

Improvement of dye electrochemical treatment by combination with ultrasound technique

“…16,17 Lorimer et al 18 determined that the decolourisation of Sandolan Yellow, an acidic dye, did not take place using ultrasound alone but was achieved by the electrolysis of the dye in aqueous saline solution using platinum electrodes. Furthermore, the process was improved significantly by the use of ultrasound in conjunction with electrochemical treatment.…”

“…21 All these researches have made possible an invaluable understanding of cavitation and its promotion of the efficiency of hybrid technologies. 22,23 Recently, Zhao et al 17 found that ultrasound enhances electrochemical oxidation of phenol on boron-doped diamond and Pt electrodes. The enhancement by ultrasound depends on the electrode material, being much greater on boron-doped diamond than on Pt.…”

Sonoelectrochemistry in Environmental Applications

“…BDD electrode performance has been compared with platinum for the electrochemical oxidation of phenol under silent and ultrasonic conditions (30 kHz, 50 W ultrasonic horn), from the viewpoints of both fundamental and applied aspects [38]. Although both anode materials (BBD and Pt) are highly fouled, a much stronger electrode passivation occurs on Pt.…”
