Significant boosting effect of single atom Pt towards the ultrasonic generation of H2O2: A two-way catalytic mechanism

Wen Yan et al.

Summary: By anchoring single atom Pt on the surface of SiO2 using ionic liquid, it was found that Pt1(0.1 %)/SiO2 exhibited a significant catalytic effect in generating H2O2, with a concentration 25.2 times and 11.6 times higher than those from pure ultrasound and sonocatalytic processes of Ptn(0.1 %)/SiO2, respectively. This enhancement can be attributed to the dual catalytic processes of Pt1, including sono-splitting of H2O to generate center dot OH as the precursor of H2O2 formation, and the combination of O2 and center dot H to selectively generate center dot OOH.
