This driver marks a considerable action in sustainable chemical synthesis.Scientists from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have actually synthesized an oxygen-coordinated Fe single atoms and atom clusters driver, manifesting superior electrocatalytic efficiency toward H2O2 production and biomass upgrading.The Significance of H2O2 and ElectrocatalysisHydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a commonly used chemical with applications in varied fields such as environment, energy, and healthcare. Further H-cell experiments validated the accumulation of H2O2 in the electrolyte.Innovations in Biomass UpgradingResearchers successfully combined the in situ created H2O2 with the electro-Fenton process utilizing ethylene glycol as the reactant and acidified 0.1 M Na2SO4 as the electrolyte. These drivers are vital for high-efficiency 2e– ORR to H2O2 and biomass upgrading.Reference: “Atomically Dispersed Iron Regulating Electronic Structure of Iron Atom Clusters for Electrocatalytic H2O2 Production and Biomass Upgrading” by Hui Xu, Shengbo Zhang, Xinyuan Zhang, Min Xu, Miaomiao Han, Li Rong Zheng, Yunxia Zhang, Guozhong Wang, Haimin Zhang and Huijun Zhao, 09 November 2023, Angewandte Chemie International Edition.DOI: 10.1002/ anie.202314414.
