Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) emerges as an environmentally sustainable oxidant with great potential in diverse fields. However, the efficiency of H2O2 generation via photocatalysis remains suboptimal. Fundamentally, this inefficiency stems from the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, limited surface or interface activity, restricted solar light absorption, and poor selectivity. Here, we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of photocatalytic H2O2 generation over the key material systems and highlight the most effective design strategies to address the unmet challenges faced by these systems. This review not only discusses fundamental insights into the mechanisms of photocatalytic H2O2 generation but also provides perspectives on future directions for the development of photocatalytic materials with high-efficiency and stability in generating H2O2.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Catalysis publishes topical collections in all fields of catalysis which are composed only of invited articles from leading authors. The journal documents today’s emerging and critical trends in all branches of catalysis. Each themed issue is organized by renowned Guest Editors in collaboration with the Editors-in-Chief. Proposals for new topics are welcome and should be submitted directly to the Editors-in-Chief.
The publication of individual uninvited original research articles can be sent to our sister journal Catalysis Letters. This journal aims for rapid publication of high-impact original research articles in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
