Abstract

Electrocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) production has attracted considerable interest in recent years as an eco‐friendly and sustainable oxidizing agent. Its versatile applications span environmental protection, energy conversion, and chemical synthesis. Traditional industrial methods for H 2 O 2 production, primarily based on the anthraquinone process, are highly complex and energy‐demanding. In contrast, electrocatalysis provides a simpler and more environmentally friendly alternative. This review summarizes recent advancements in electrocatalytic H 2 O 2 production, focusing on catalyst material selection and optimization, reaction mechanisms, operating conditions, and related progress. Initially,…
