Electrochemical Behavior of Saturated Potassium Nitrate Salts with Boron-Doped Diamond Electrode.

ABSTRACT: Potassium nitrate (KNO₃) is widely utilized in concentrated solar power tower (CSPT) fuels and as an additive to address the issue of lithium dendrite formation in lithium-ion batteries and CSPT systems. This study investigates the influence of boron-doped diamond (BDD) films and their interaction with KNO₃-saturated solutions to enhance these devices' efficiency and energy capacity. One critical factor in achieving higher energy devices is the electrochemical stability window (ESW). Consequently, this research examines various properties of BDD, including grain size, doping level, conductivity, carbon-sp³/sp² ratio, and electrolyte characteristics such as conductivity and pH. The results demonstrate that a BDD film grown at a B/C ratio of 2000 p
