Abstract
Electrolytic cell and method of use thereof is provided for the production of ozone. The cell comprises at least one inert glassy carbon, lead dioxide or platinum anode, and at least one air cathode for reducing oxygen and electrolyte comprising tetrafluoroborate anions.
Claims8
An electrolytic cell for the production of ozone comprising:
- at least one anode comprising a material selected from glassy carbon, lead dioxide and platinum;
- at least one air cathode for reduction of oxygen;
- and aqueous electrolyte comprising tetrafluoroborate anions wherein said anode and said cathode are in contact with said electrolyte, and air is in contact with said cathode whereby during operation of said cell ozone is formed by oxidation of water at the surface of said anode and water is formed by reduction of oxygen at the surface of said cathode.
