Background
Hydrogen peroxide (H)2O2Hydrogen peroxide) is an important chemical product, and is widely applied to various fields such as bleaching, spinning, wastewater treatment, disinfection, semiconductor preparation and the like as a green and pollution-free inorganic compound. Hydrogen peroxide is defined as a green chemical product, its strong oxidizing property and its reduction product (H)2O) non-toxic and harmless properties make it a chemical agent widely used in industrial disinfection and medical aid. The traditional hydrogen peroxide preparation process is an indirect anthraquinone process, large-scale equipment and a large amount of energy input are needed in the method, raw materials are hazardous to a certain extent, a large amount of waste materials are produced in the production process, and the method is not environment-friendly. Therefore, the method for producing the hydrogen peroxide by using the simple equipment is urgent.
The development of electrochemical Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) to generate hydrogen peroxide at present makes the site production and equipment miniaturization of hydrogen peroxide have a new route, and the scheme of the selective oxygen reduction reaction to generate hydrogen peroxide electrochemistry can effectively solve the problems existing in the indirect anthraquinone method. In ORR, processes involving multiple electron transfer are involved, in which O2Can be converted into H in a four-electron process2Conversion of O or two electrons to H2O2. There is a need for efficient and inexpensive electrocatalysts that undergo two-electron reactions. The characterization of the electrocatalysts properties is not well-established for convenient and practical purpose-built electrolytic cells, the electrolytic cells currently used in such electrochemical processes are generally simple three-electrode single cell electrochemicalThe reactions of the cathode and the anode of the chemical cell interfere with each other, the electrode cannot be reasonably fixed, the controllability of ventilation and gas discharge is not high, the ventilation effect is not good, and the instant taking out and detection of the hydrogen peroxide product are inconvenient. The small-scale rationalization of the equipment can achieve the purpose of small-scale in-situ hydrogen peroxide production.
