| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The production of hydrogen peroxide was investigated using water as the raw material to effectively utilize oxidative reactions in the photoelectrochemical production of hydrogen by water splitting. The oxidative production and accumulation of hydrogen peroxide were achieved with high photocurrent property and selectivity under irradiation of simulated solar light by combining a composite photoanode using bismuth vanadium oxide and electrolyte of hydrogen carbonate. Design of photoelectrode system specialized to production of hydrogen peroxide was also achieved by introducing reductive production of hydrogen peroxide from oxygen as a cathode reaction.
