Abstract

The design of a safe and sustainable process for the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is a very important subject from the viewpoint of green chemistry. Photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production with earth-abundant water and molecular oxygen (O 2 ) as resources is an ideal process. A successful system based on an organic semiconductor has been proposed; however, it suffers from poor photostability. Here we report an inorganic photocatalyst for H 2 O 2 synthesis. Visible light irradiation (λ >420 nm) of the semiconductor BiVO 4 loaded with Au nanoparticles (Au/BiVO 4 ) in pure water with O 2 successfully produces H 2 O 2 . The bottom of the BiVO 4 conduction band (0.02 V vs NHE, pH 0) is more positive than the one-electron reduction potential of O 2 (−0.13 V) while more negative than the two-electron reduction potential of O 2 (0.68 V). This thus suppresses one-electron reduction of O 2 and selectively promotes two-electron reduction of O 2, resulting in efficient H 2 O 2 formation.

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.
