Surface Processes Control the Fate of Reactive Oxidants Generated by Electrochemical Activation of Hydrogen Peroxide on Stainless-Steel Electrodes

Yanghua Duan et al.

Summary: Low-cost stainless-steel electrodes can efficiently activate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by producing hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and other oxidants. These electrodes demonstrate significantly higher •OH yield compared to iron oxide catalysts under circumneutral pH conditions. The stainless-steel electrodes effectively remove trace organic contaminants from water without leaching significant amounts of Fe and Cr. With further development, they could become a cost-effective alternative to other H2O2 activation processes like ultraviolet light.
