Research of hot-filament CVD technology constantly continues to provide new scientific developments that are transferred into economically functioning products. This business model enabled the establishment of the worldwide largest experimental CVD facility with following development details:
The addition of Titanium or Vanadium during the CVD diamond coating process is expected to enable new electrical states in diamond crystal structures. The effect of alloying on the mechanical properties is also being investigated. Current research topics are:
Boron doped diamond (BDD) electrodes have a very broad application potential. This is due to the high over potential at the cathode (hydrogen formation at -1,2 V) and anodic (oxygen formation at 2.5 V) water electrolysis. This makes BDD electrodes suitable for applications, like: Efficient disinfection by killing bacteria, water treatment via direct chemical oxidation of all carbon types and cathodic reduction of CO2 in hydrocarbons. We offer different electrochemical reactors with diamond electrodes for research partners and industries:
