Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is a versatile and environmentally friendly oxidant with a wide range of industrial and household applications. In recent years, the decentralization of H 2 O 2 production through the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) has emerged as an attractive alternative t...
