| Research Abstract |
An efficient and direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) form hydrogen and oxygen has been desired. The fuel cell method, which was able to synthesize hydrogen peroxide, was dramatically improved. A new electrocatalyst of cobalt-nitrogen-carbon compound has been found and the highest hydrogen concentration of 21% and current efficiency of 95% were achieved. A new membrane catalyst utilizing electron and proton mixed conduction material was developed. A direct synthesis of neutral hydrogen peroxide was succeeded by the membrane catalyst.
