Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an oxidizing agent commonly used for various applications and is available in aqueous solution in a wide range of concentrations. This work describes the H2O2 electrogeneration process in alkaline medium (KOH 1.0 mol L−1), using an unmodified gas diffusion electrode (GDE) manufactured with Printex 6L carbon. The experiments were performed in a single‐compartment electrochemical cell equipped with a GDE as the working electrode, which was fed with N2 or O2 at a pressure of 0.2 bar. Electrolysis experiments were performed at a constant potential (−0.5≤E≤−1.4 V) for 90 min. The H2O2 concentration reached a maximum value of 3370 mg L−1 at −1.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), and H2O2 electrogeneration followed pseudo‐zero‐order kinetics with an apparent rate constant kapp=59.7 mg L−1 min−1. A low energy consumption of 8.0 kWh kg−1 was calculated for these electrogeneration conditions.
