Enhanced H2O2 production by selective electrochemical reduction of O2 on fluorine-doped hierarchically porous carbon

Electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via two-electron pathway of oxygen reduction reaction is a promising alternative to the current anthraquinone process. The H2O2 production from O2 is a competing reaction with four-electron O2 reduction to H2O, and the selectivity is related to the adsorption energy of the OOH intermediate on electrocatalysts surface. Generally, the properties for binding of OOH intermediate on catalysts can...
