Review—2D Graphene and Graphene-Like Materials and Their Promising Applications in the Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide

The in situ formation of hydrogen peroxide, H 2 O 2 , is an attractive alternative to the current energy demanding and complex anthraquinone synthetic process. In this paper 2D materials, including graphene, graphitic carbon nitride (g–C 3 N 4 ) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), are reviewed as electrocatalysts and photocatalysts for the selective two electron reduction of oxygen to give H 2 O 2 . Following an introduction to the complex oxygen...
