Abstract

Mesoporous carbon prepared by template synthesis using SBA-15 mesostructured silicate material was tested as an electrocatalyst for electrochemical synthesis of Н2О2 from О2 in a two-layer gas-diffusion electrode. Preparative syntheses of Н2О2 in 0.06 to 2.0 M aqueous solutions of various electrolytes (pH 2–8) were performed at current densities in the interval 0.05–0.19 A cm–2. Solutions with an Н2О2 concentration of 1–2.8 M were prepared with 46–70% current efficiency. Thus, the material tested shows promise as an electrocatalyst of two-electron reduction of oxygen to Н2О2.
