Abstract
Electrochemical ozone production (EOP) via oxidation of water has attracted attention as an effective technology for a water treatment alternative to the conventional ozonation. The presence of inert supporting electrolytes (SEs) in EOP is essential to increase the electrical conductivity of water, but little is known about the role of SEs in EOP on BDD electrodes. Also, development of electrodes for hydrogen peroxide production via reduction of oxygen was required for simultaneous production of ozone and hydrogen peroxide. In order to expand the knowledge of the effect of SEs on EOP on a BDD electrode and the development of electrodes for hydrogen peroxide production, the following studies were conducted.
First, an effect of SEs on EOP on a BDD electrode was investigated as the solid polymer electrolyte electrolyzer permitting water oxidation even in the absence of SEs was employed. As major results, SEs caused significant suppression of EOP regardless of their types in comparison with that in deionized water, but did not decrease the production of •OH which is intermediate for ozone production and the overall oxidation current. On the other hand, the production of hydrogen peroxide via the combination of •OH was suppressed by the presence of SE. The suppression of EOP by SE is interpreted to be attributed to SE anions hindering the combination of •O on the electrode surface. Based on this suppression effect of SEs, operating conditions for optimal EOP were investigated.
Second, high-yield hydrogen peroxide generation using a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) with a carbon fiber (CF)-coated mesh substrate was investigated in a solid polymer electrolyte electrolyzer. Current efficiency (52%) and power consumption (0.3 Wh∙g-1) for this MEA were 1.5 times higher and 2 times lower than those of reported values (at -0.1 V vs. Ag/AgCl). These significant improvements were presumed to be attributed to enhanced oxygen mass transfer and reduced charge transfer resistance arising from the CF-coated mesh substrate in the MEA. Based on these findings, commercial carbon cloth electrodes were employed for hydrogen peroxide production.
