A promising approach combining renewable solar energy with abundant water and air has been developed for scalable and economically beneficial H2O2 production.
A promising approach to H2O2 production that combines renewable solar energy with earth-abundant water and air could lead to scalable economic benefits. While many breakthroughs have been made in recent years in the research of solar-driven H2O2 production, the solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency (STF) remains unsatisfactory. Here, we demonstrate a bias-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) device for efficient solar-driven overall H2O2 production by coupling a magnesium-doped tantalum nitride (Mg:Ta3N5) photoanode for the water oxidation half-reaction with an ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) loaded carbon cloth (CC) cathode for the oxygen reduction half-reaction. Taking advantage of the wide visible-light absorption range and proper band positions of the Mg:Ta3N5 photoanode for overall H2O2 production and the high activity and selectivity of the CC/CMK-3 cathode, a record STF of 2.33% is achieved with the assembled Mg:Ta3N5||Nafion||CC/CMK-3 PEC device for bias-free H2O2 production. The demonstration of an efficient bias-free PEC device with a simple device structure represents a breakthrough in the production of H2O2 from solar energy.
