Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāAbstract We investigated the effect of a non-doped diamond layer deposition on the active electrode of the dielectric barrier discharge in the air on its electrical characteristics and ozone generation. We found that this new non-traditional application of diamond layers affects electrical parameters of the discharge and increases not only the concentration of ozone produced by the discharge but also ozone production yield by ā¼70%. Considering obtained results together with the high corrosion resistivity and chemical inertness of the diamond layers, the application of these layers on the dielectric barrier discharge electrode can be an interesting alternative to the usage of photocatalysts for the enhancement of ozone generation by electrical discharges.
