Water Oxidation for Anodic Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide by Using Transition Metal Oxide Based Catalyst

Water oxidation could be helpful to have a generation of useful oxidant known as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via electrochemical route. A defined structured of molybdenum oxide based electrode was synthesised by a thermal compression treatment over PV-15 composite coating. The coating was then employed for electrochemical water splitting at constant potential electrolysis while the quantities of peroxide of hydrogen produced was measured in an advanced type of cell assembly. The overall findings showed that the confined values of applied potential for H2O2 production are anodic constant potentials of +0.3 V, +0.4 V and +0.5 V vs. Hg/HgO and synthesised peroxide of hydrogen up to 13 ppm in an advanced type of cell assembly.
