WFBR advances high-purity H2O2 production with non-noble metal catalysts

Authors: Roel Bisselink, Jolanda van Medevoort, Sotiri Mavrikis, Rajeesh Purushothaman (Wageningen Research)

WFBR is focused on the development of an optimal design of the cathodic half-cell for the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction to produce pure and concentrated H2O2.

Wageningen Food & Biobased Research (WFBR) is developing an eco-friendly electrochemical process to produce high-purity hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as part of the Power2Hype project. Focusing on efficient non-noble metal catalysts, WFBR has achieved high output H2O2 concentration with over extreme high purity and is currently engaged in further optimising the process. This research offers a sustainable and energy-efficient method for producing high-quality H2O2 using renewable electricity. In this approach, a dual membrane system incorporating a porous solid polymer electrolyte is employed to electrochemically produce pure and concentrated H2O2

A carbon-based catalyst combined with a gas diffusion layer serves as the cathode for the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e– ORR). Various reaction conditions and reactor adjustments are explored to assess their impact on key performance indicators for H2O2 production. 

Within the Power2Hype project, WFBR is developing non-noble metal carbon catalysts and advancing the cathodic half-cell for H2O2 production.
