Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is highly required in various applications. The development of catalysts exhibiting elevated catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability is essential for H₂O₂ production technology. Metal-based catalysts are widely used for 2e⁻ ORR (oxygen reduction reaction) because of their adjustable structure, chemical stability, and availability. However, due to competition with the 4e⁻ ORR, modifications are often conducted to balance activity and selectivity. Common techniques include altering the surface electronic structure of catalysts and the interaction between active sites and intermediates. This review discusses diverse catalyst types (including precious and transition metals, single-atom catalysts, and MOFs/COFs) along with modification strategies (such as morphological control, electronic structure tuning, conductivity enhancement, and wettability improvement). The objective is to elucidate catalyst design and associated reaction mechanisms, as well as the relationship between catalyst structure and activity, in order to provide an insight for producing H₂O₂ in an efficient, highly selective, and stable manner.

金属基功能材料绿色生产H2O2的最新进展：应用、策略和催化机制

过氧化氢（H2O2）在各种应用中都是非常需要的。开发具有高催化活性、选择性和稳定性的催化剂对H2O2生产技术至关重要。金属基催化剂因其结构可调、化学稳定性好、可用性高等优点，在氧还原反应中得到了广泛的应用。然而，由于与4e - ORR的竞争，经常进行修饰以平衡活性和选择性。常用的技术包括改变催化剂的表面电子结构以及活性位点和中间体之间的相互作用。本文讨论了各种催化剂类型（包括贵金属和过渡金属、单原子催化剂和MOFs/COFs）以及改性策略（如形态控制、电子结构调整、电导率增强和润湿性改善）。目的是阐明催化剂设计和相关反应机理，以及催化剂结构和活性之间的关系，从而为高效、高选择性和稳定地生产H2O2提供见解。图形抽象
