Electrochemical Oxygen Reduction for the Production of Hydrogen Peroxide

In this issue of Chem, Prato and colleagues describe the synthesis of N-doped single-wall carbon nanohorns and their record performance as catalysts for highly selective O-2 reduction to H2O2. They outperform metal-based electrocatalysts and set a new benchmark for the sustainable production of H2O2 through the oxygen reduction reaction.
