When water is split electrolytically, the result is typically hydrogen -- and 'useless' oxygen. Instead of oxygen, you can also produce hydrogen peroxide, which is required for many branches of ...

"My previous catalyst for this reaction used platinum, which is too expensive for decentralized water purification," said research engineer Samira Siahrostami. "The beautiful thing about our cheaper ...

Scientists have found a way to make hydrogen peroxide from vibration instead of electricity or light, using motion and water ...

The question of whether water can form hydrogen peroxide should be answered by thermodynamics (see C&EN, June 13, 2022, page 3). If a reaction is possible (spontaneous), then the change in the Gibbs ...

A new study has put a remarkable and unexpected chemical genesis on more solid footing. Back in 2019, Stanford University researchers and colleagues revealed the surprising discovery that hydrogen ...

I read the article on Percy Julian’s house in C&EN (May 9, 2022, page 8), and I had an idea. To really showcase the American Chemical Society’s support for diversity, it would be great if you all ...

Catalysis of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is demonstrated in a foil-covered florence flask or fancy bottle. A packet of manganese dioxide catalyst is suspended by a thread inside the neck of ...
