At present, hydrogen peroxide is mainly prepared by an anthraquinone method with complex and high energy consumption, but an expensive palladium catalyst is needed, and a large amount of organic waste is generated. Thus, the formation of hydrogen peroxide (ORHP) by electrocatalytic oxygen reduction is a cost effective process that can be used to replace the traditional anthraquinone process. For ORHP, unlike conventional four electron transfer oxygen reduction (4 e-ORR) to water, H is directly produced by the two electron transfer pathway (2 e-ORR) 2 O 2 . Platinum, palladium and their alloys have high ORHP activity due to unique electronic structures. However, the cost for preparing the catalyst is too high to be practically applied on a large scale.
