The in situ and cleaner electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) through two-electron oxygen reduction reaction has drawn increasing attentions in environmental applications as an alterantive to traditional anthraquinone process. Air cathodes avoid the need of aeration, but face th...
