Using batteries to produce hydrogen peroxide from air for industrial applications

"This method is very sustainable, low-cost, and highly energy-efficient"

12-Mar-2025 - Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is widely used as a bleach, disinfectant, and oxidising agent, among other things. However, industrial production ofH2O2is expensive and uses a lot of energy owing to the rare and precious metal catalysts used in its production. Researchers at the Indian Institute of ...

A new catalyst can turn methane into something useful

MIT chemical engineers have devised a way to capture methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and convert it into polymers

09-Dec-2024 - Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to its molecular structure. MIT chemical engineers have now designed a new catalyst that can convert methane into ...

Maximizing Hydrogen Peroxide Formation during Water Electrolysis

Killing two birds with one stone

23-Jul-2024 - When water is split electrolytically, the result is typically hydrogen – and useless oxygen. Instead of oxygen, you can also produce a useful product. If you know how. Due to its high availability, water is considered the most useful starting material for hydrogen production. Ideally, the ...
