Scientists from Tohoku University have made significant progress in improving the effectiveness of an electrochemical reaction that generates hydrogen peroxide, a key chemical used in industrial ...

Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) packs so much chemical energy into a small space that it is powerful enough to fuel rockets. But this same ability to concentrate energy also makes hydrogen peroxide useful ...

Fukuoka, Japan—Hydrogen peroxide is a ubiquitous chemical found in most homes and used in everything from dying hair to treating wounds. It is also an invaluable agent for many industries from food, ...

Ensuring that water is safe to use and consume can be a real chore, especially for those who live in impoverished areas without access to safe drinking water. Here is where researchers at Stanford ...

A photoelectrochemical device uses sunlight, water, and oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide efficiently, stably, and at scalable rates without grid electricity. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Hydrogen peroxide ...

A sprinkling of magnetic nanoparticles is just enough to power up catalysts, so they can make hydrogen peroxide production more efficient. Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in improving the ...

Photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide harnesses solar energy to convert water and dioxygen into H₂O₂ via sequential light-driven redox reactions. Central to this process are two ...

The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen represents a paradigm shift away from the centralised anthraquinone process towards decentralised, on-demand oxidant production. By ...

Hydrogen peroxide, a versatile chemical used in a wide range of applications—from medical disinfectants to semiconductor manufacturing and water treatment—is an essential substance with global annual ...

I was fascinated by the idea of jet packs when I was a kid. They were sci-fi magic, and the idea that you could strap into an oversized backpack wrapped in tinfoil and fly around was very enticing.

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction. The catalyst is not used up or chemically changed during the reaction. Enzymes are catalysts that work inside the cells of living ...
