Laser direct overall water splitting for H₂ and H₂O₂ production.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen (H₂) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) play crucial roles as energy carriers and raw materials for industrial production. However, the current techniques for H₂ and H₂O₂ production rely on complex catalysts and involve multiple intermediate steps. In this study, we present a straightforward, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient laser-induced conversion method for overall water splitting to simultaneously generate H₂ and H₂O₂ at ambient conditions without any catalysts. The laser direct overall water splitting approach achieves an impressive light-to-hydrogen energy conversion efficiency of 2.1%, with H₂ production rates of 2.2 mmol/h and H₂O₂ pro
