Photocatalytic and Electrocatalytic Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide: Principles, Catalyst Design and Performance.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a high-demand organic chemical reagent and has been widely used in various modern industrial applications. Currently, the prominent method for the preparation of H₂O₂ is the anthraquinone oxidation. Unfortunately, it is not conducive to economic and sustainable development since it is a complex process and involves unfriendly environment and potential hazards. In this context, numerous approaches have been developed to synthesize H₂O₂. Among them, photo/electro-catalytic ones are considered as two of the most promising manners for on-site synthesis of H₂O₂. These alternatives are sustainable in that only water or O₂ is required. Namely, water oxidation (WOR) or oxy
