Abstract
The development of efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment technologies is vital to resolve environmental concerns. Finding an effective catalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater is challenging. In this study, boron-doped diamond (BDD) particles were synthesized using a high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) industrial diamond synthesis technology. BDD was investigated as an efficient electrode catalyst to convert organic pollutants into biodegradable substances. BDD self-supporting electrodes exhibited excellent properties with a relative density of 93.07%, an electrical resistivity of 2.71 × 10−4 Ω·m. Furthermore, BDD particles showed superior electrochemical characteristics such as a rapid electron transfer coefficient of about 0.5, good reversibility and redox properties. The BDD self-supporting electrode achieved a methylene blue degradation rate of 98.72% within 60 min. Our research provides valuable insights into using BDD as an effective electrochemical catalyst for wastewater treatment, which can help promote the development of environmentally friendly and economically viable technologies.
