On the sand-blasting-treated titanium（Ti） substrate, the boron-doped diamond（BDD） electrodes with a wide potential window were prepared by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition（MPCVD）. The electrochemi- cal oxidation ratios of phenol at BDD/Ti electrodes at elevated temperatures（from 20 ℃ to 80 ℃） were examined by the chemical oxygen demand（COD） of phenol electrolyte during electrolysis. The results show that the COD removal was increased at high temperatures and the optimized temperature for enhancing the electrochemical oxidation ratio of phenol is 60 ℃. The mechanism for the temperature-dependent electrochemical oxidation ratios of phenol at the electrodes was investigated. The study would be favorable for further improving the performance of BDD/Ti elec- trodes, especially working at high temperatures.

The paper deals with the influence of anode material on the efficiency of degradation for organic pollutants in water system.The electrochemical performance of fluorine ion doped lead dioxide（F--PbO2） electrode for the degradation of aniline was compared with that of undoped lead dioxide（PbO2） electrode by ultraviolet-visible（UV-Vis） spectroscopy,linear voltammetry and other analytical methods,such as the measurement by chemical oxygen demand analyzer,high performance liquid chromatography and scanning electron micrography.It was shown that both PbO2 electrode and F--PbO2 electrode could make aniline be mineralized completely and have the same degradation course,but F--PbO2 electrode has much higher electrocatalytic activity than undoped PbO2 electrode for the electrochemical degradation of aniline.The experimental results confirm that F--PbO2 electrode has much higher potential for oxygen evolution than undoped PbO2 electrode.
