Abstract

Electroreduction of hydrogen peroxide in acidic medium is reported onto carbon-supported iron tetramethoxy phenyl porphyrin (FeTMPP/C) as well as carbon-supported lead sulphate (PbSO4/C) electrodes. Both the catalytic electrodes can sustain electroreduction of hydrogen peroxide in direct borohydride fuel cells using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant but PbSO4/C electrode shows catalytic activity.
