Advanced Development Strategy of Nano Catalyst and DFT Calculations for Direct Synthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide

Geun-Ho Han et al.

Summary: Hydrogen peroxide is a simple oxidizing agent with growing use due to its environmental friendliness. The traditional method of manufacturing H2O2 through anthraquinone autoxidation (AO process) releases large amounts of organic solvents and requires significant energy. Direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (DSHP) offers a more sustainable solution, but faces challenges such as mass-transfer limitations and side reactions, requiring advanced technologies for catalyst development.

Mechanistic analysis of multiple processes controlling solar-driven H2O2 synthesis using engineered polymeric carbon nitride

Yubao Zhao et al.

Summary: The use of sodium cyanaminate moiety in polymeric carbon nitride frameworks enhances solar-driven H2O2 production by promoting photon absorption, altering the energy landscape, improving charge separation efficiency, enhancing surface adsorption, and creating selective oxygen reduction reaction surface-active sites. An electronic coupling interaction between O-2 and the surface is experimentally substantiated to boost the population and prolong the lifetime of active shallow-trapped electrons. This renewable approach to chemical synthesis provides a sustainable and environmentally friendly method for H2O2 production.
