  • Patent number: 8734626
    Abstract: An anode (3) and a cathode (5), interposing a solid polymer film (7), are disposed. While supplying purified water from a supply port (13a) of an anode chamber (13), wherein the anode (3) is disposed, and a supply port (15a) of a cathode chamber (15), wherein the cathode (5) is disposed, direct electric current is applied between the anode (3) and the cathode (5). As a result, ozone-water is discharged from an outlet port (13b) of the anode chamber (13). In such an electrolysis cell (1), a free-standing conductive diamond plate, formed by microwave plasma assisted CVD so as to have a thickness of 0.8 mm, is used as the anode (3). The diamond plate is provided with holes, having a diameter of 1 mm and disposed such that a center distance therebetween becomes 2 mm. Therefore, the electrolysis cell (1) can stably produce ozone without causing exfoliation of the anode (3), even when high voltage and large current are applied between the anode (3) and the cathode (5).

  • Patent number: 8431006
    Abstract: A method for producing ozone-water includes steps of providing a cathode and an anode so as to interpose a solid polymer film therebetween, and electrolyzing water. A conductive diamond having one of a porous structure and a mesh structure is used as the anode. Ozone-water of an intermediate to high temperature is produced by electrolyzing water of an intermediate to high temperature.

  • Publication number: 20090258255
    Abstract: A method for producing a diamond having an acicular projection array structure on a surface thereof comprises the step of forming the acicular projection array structure on a surface of a diamond base material by treating the surface of the diamond base material by dry etching using oxygen gas. At least one dopant selected among boron (B), nitrogen (N), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), molybdenum (Mo), platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) is doped with a concentration of 1×1019 atoms/cm3 and more at least in a region near the surface of the diamond base material.
