Hydrogen peroxide is known as an essential green chemical oxidant for advanced oxidation processes such as wastewater treatment, sterilization (which includes the pathogenic SARS-CoV-2), decolorization of waste dyes, and as an oxidant in chemical reactions. Besides its oxidizing ability, hydrogen peroxide is considered an emerging green fuel and energy career. Because of these properties, hydrogen peroxide is an ideal green energy carrier comparable to that of compressed hydrogen gas and a medium for energy storage. It is also set to play an important role in energy conversion technologies such as fuel cells and batteries. These emergent energy aspects promise an even higher global demand for this valuable chemical. In this talk, I will discuss our efforts in electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide, as well as the potential applications of hydrogen peroxide in battery technologies, and how computational material design can lead to the design and discovery of novel materials for a revolutionary new application.
