Graphical Abstract

Abstract

Electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through two-electron oxygen reduction represents an attractive alternative for on-site H2O2 generation. Here, we develop a facile thermally activated-persulfate approach to obtain oxidized carbon nanotubes (O-CNTs-x, x represents oxidation time) with enhanced H2O2 electrosynthesis performance. Electrochemical studies have demonstrated that the optimized O-CNTs-6 (i.e., oxidation time is 6 h) could deliver a sustained high selectivity of around 92% for H2O2 over a wide voltage window in 0.1 mol/L KOH and a high H2O2 production rate of 296.84 mmol/L g-1 cat h-1. Compared with pristine CNTs, the enhanced catalytic activity primarily stems from the newly-generated oxygen-containing functional groups and some defects created on the surface of O-CNTs-x. Importantly, the proposed oxidation process is proved to be valid for promoting H2O2 electrosynthesis performance of the Ketjen black. This study provides an universal oxidation method to obtain highly active carbon-based catalysts and initiates new opportunities for the exploration of high-performance electrosynthesis H2O2 catalysts.
