Overlooked Formation of H2O2 during the Hydroxyl Radical-Scavenging Process When Using Alcohols as Scavengers
Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (•OH) is an active species widely reported in studies across many scientific fields, and hence, its reliable analysis is vitally important. Currently, alcohols are commonly used as scavengers for •OH determination. However, the impacts of alcohols on the reliability of •OH detection remain unknown. In this study, we found that adding different types and different amounts of alcohols in water samples treated with ultraviolet irradiation undesirably produced substantial amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), which is a known •OH precursor. This means that the conventional •OH determination method using alcohols is likely unreliable or even misleading. Through careful investigation, we revealed an overlooked reaction pathway during H 2 O 2 and •OH transformations. Varying oxygen concentrations, pHs, alcohol dosages, and types altered H 2 O 2 formation, which can affect •OH determination accuracy. Among alcohols, n -butanol is the best scavenger because it quenches •OH rapidly but re-forms little H 2 O 2 .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
