In industry, propylene oxide is generally produced by a chlorohydrin method and an oxidation method, and although the propylene oxide has the advantages of low product cost and the like, the propylene oxide still has the environmental risks of more byproducts, complicated process flows and the generation of a large amount of waste water and waste residues. In recent years, attention has been paid to a hydrogen peroxide direct oxidation method (HPPO method) using hydrogen peroxide (H) 2 O 2 ) The titanium silicalite TS-1 is used as an oxidant and used as a catalyst to catalyze epoxidation of propylene to prepare propylene oxide, only propylene oxide and water are generated in the production process, the process flow is simple, the propylene oxide yield is high, and the environment-friendly effect is achieved.

Therefore, in order to avoid or solve the above problems, the HPPO method needs further development.
In recent years, electrocatalytic oxygen reduction (ORR) synthesis of H via a two electron transfer process 2 O 2 Has attracted a great deal of attention in both academic and industrial circles. Compared with the traditional anthraquinone process, the method has the advantages of mild reaction conditionsRenewable electric power driven CO emission free 2 And air and water are used as reaction raw materials, so that the method is more in line with the requirements of green chemical industry. In electrocatalytic ORR, electrocatalysts are the key to the reaction. Currently, noble metals are electrocatalytic ORR producing H 2 O 2 Electrocatalysts of optimal performance, but the expensive price, scarcity and poor tolerance of noble metals to acidic and basic environments limit the possibilities for their practical application. However, carbon materials have received increasing attention due to their large specific surface area, abundant resources, acid and alkali resistance, and high electrical conductivity, and are considered as promising and potential precious metal substitutes. However, the electrocatalytic activity of pure carbon-based catalysts is generally low, and modification of the carbon material is required to increase the catalytic activity. ORR Activity and H of carbon-based catalysts in the prior art 2 O 2 The selectivity is yet to be further improved.
