Abstract
An ozone generator has one or both of the tube type electrodes coated with a dielectric that has high dielectric strength, high dielectric constant, and low piezoelectric activity, and can be applied with a small thickness (less than 0.5 mm). The dielectric has a mixed oxide composition having a dielectric strength of at least about 800 volts/mil, has a dielectric constant that is at least 200, and has low enough piezoelectric activity that it will not ablate, crack, or other otherwise suffer damage as a result of high voltage application over months of use. A metal electrode for use in an ozone generator has a dielectric coating on a surface thereof having a composition comprising: about 30-70% lead oxide, about 2-8% barium oxide, about 2-12% lanthanum oxide, about 3-18% titanium dioxide, about 12-40% zirconium dioxide, and trace materials. A method of coating a metal electrode for use in an ozone generator may include plasma spraying (and the steps leading up to effect of plasma spraying), or dip or spin coating followed by sintering.
