Overview

Review evaluates catalyst platforms and reaction mechanisms in solar hydrogen peroxide synthesis, highlighting pathways for decentralized chemical production.

Key Points

  • This review assesses mechanistic pathways, catalyst design strategies, and standardized evaluation protocols for decentralized solar-driven hydrogen peroxide synthesis.
  • Analyzed photocatalyst material classes including inorganic semiconductors, graphitic carbon nitride, covalent organic frameworks, and heterojunctions.
  • Evaluated reaction mechanisms including the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction, two-electron water oxidation reaction, and dual-channel photosynthesis under varied operational conditions.
  • Photocatalytic efficiency and selectivity are primarily dictated by active-site electronic structures that govern oxygen adsorption, intermediate stabilization, and proton-coupled electron transfer.
  • Unintended hydrogen peroxide decomposition and mass transfer limitations remain primary hurdles requiring transparent benchmarking protocols and multiscale reactor engineering.
