Problems solved by technology

However, forming a network structure with conductive silicon is difficult
In other words, although in the case of titanium or niobium, network-structured substrates can be easily fabricated by horizontally stretching a flat plate with a large number of small pores, this method cannot be applied to conductive silicon, and there are usually only flat plates. conductive silicon substrate
Therefore, porous diamond electrodes using conductive silicon substrates have not yet been obtained

experiment example 1

[0094] By setting the size to 50mm 2 And a conductive silicon substrate (P-type silicon single crystal substrate) with a thickness of 3 mm is processed with a fluoronitric acid solution to form a plurality of holes arranged in a staggered manner from a single surface (having an opening diameter of 2 mm on the processed surface , holes formed in a staggered arrangement with a pitch of 3 mm) to prepare a perforated substrate. In this processing, a region other than a portion having the hole (opening portion) is resin-masked by a resist treatment generally used in a semiconductor manufacturing process. The processed surface treated with fluoronitric acid was considered Surface A, and the other surface processed such that the pores passed through the substrate towards the outer surface was considered Surface B.

[0101] Figure 5The samples of the electrolytic cells shown in were prepared by using the corresponding samples Nos. 1 to 10 prepared in Experimental Example 1 as anodes and cathodes. Pure water was electrolyzed through each electrolytic cell for ozone generation experiments. Use a sulfonic acid based ion exchange membrane as the ion exchange membrane and set the current density to 1A / cm 2 status. A porous graphite plate was used as a current collector. Ozone generation efficiency was measured by the KI method. Table 2 shows the results.

[0107] Diamond electrodes with different pore diameters, taper angles, depth-to-diameter ratios, and opening area ratios were prepared similarly to Experimental Example 1, except that the coating with conductive diamond by hot-wire CVD was performed not only from the surface B of the substrate, but also from the surface A was carried out to cover the entire surface A and surface B of the substrate and the inner wall surface of the hole with the conductive diamond (sample Nos. 11-22). Table 3 shows (on surface A) the corresponding pore diameters, taper angles, depth-to-diameter ratios, and open area ratios. The average thickness of conductive diamond on the inner wall of each sample was measured by observing slices with SEM. Table 3 also shows the results.

Abstract

Disclosed is a diamond electrode (1) comprising a conductive silicon substrate (2) having a plurality of pores (4), and a conductive diamond (3) covering the conductive silicon substrate (2). Also disclosed is a method for producing such a diamond electrode. Further disclosed is an electrolytic bath comprising a cation-exchange membrane, an anode and a cathode respectively arranged in close contact with either side of the cation-exchange membrane, and collectors respectively arranged in contact with the anode and the cathode in an electrically feedable manner. In this electrolytic bath, at least the anode is composed of the diamond electrode and the collectors are composed of a conductive nonmetal through which the electrolyte liquid can be permeated. The electrolytic bath is low in the production cost, free from problems of warping and enables to obtain a high electrolysis efficiency. Namely, the present invention provides a diamond electrode having long life wherein separation between a conductive silicon substrate and a conductive diamond hardly occurs, a method for producing such a diamond electrode, and an electrolytic bath having high electrolysis efficiency and long life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a diamond electrode used for sewage treatment or forming functional water and a manufacturing method thereof. The invention also relates to electrolytic cells using such diamond electrodes, for forming ozone water and the like. Background technique [0002] Electrolysis of water (hereinafter referred to as "electrolysis") is carried out in order to produce electrolyzed water for use in, for example, the fields of medical care and food, or for cleaning electronic components, or for waste water treatment. For example, electrolysis of water is known as a method for producing water in which ozone is dissolved, so-called ozone water. [0003] Ozone water is a functional water that has extremely strong oxidizing ability and is used in various fields such as medical care, cleaning electronic devices, etc. as sterile water or clean water through the oxidizing ability. In order to form ozone water by dissolving ozone gas in water, a d...
