Catalytic synthesis of H2O2 using novel metal-based functional materials: Materials, mechanisms, techniques, and devices

With the rapid development of global society and economy, the demand for environmentally friendly energy has been constantly increasing. As an eco-friendly new energy source, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a crucial role in various fields, such as chemical engineering, environmental protection, and healthcare. The traditional anthraquinone method for H2O2 generation has problems such as high energy consumption, low efficiency, and transportation risks. In recent years, a series of metal-based functional materials (such as Metal-organic framework, Metallic single-atom catalysts, Nanometer Metal Composite Materials, etc.) have been proven to exhibit excellent performance towards H2O2 synthesis. Consequently, it is particularly important to develop novel and efficient H2O2 production materials or technologies to replace the traditional energy-intensive anthraquinone method. This Special Issue welcomes the submissions of research papers about H2O2 production.

The topics are included, but not limited to the following:

(1) Photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 by metal-based functional materials;

(2) Electrocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 by metal-based functional materials;

(3) Catalytic synthesis of H2O2 by metal-based functional materials at low temperatures;

(4) Catalytic synthesis mechanism of H2O2;

(5) Advanced technology and reaction device for H2O2 catalytic synthesis.
