Hydrogen peroxide production via cathodic reduction of oxygen on self-made gas diffusion electrode was investigated in an undivided electrochemical system. The effects of mass ratio between graphite and PTFE in cathode, the calcination temperature, current density, pH, and plate distance on hydrogen peroxide generation were discussed. The results showed that the self-made gas diffusion cathode had high catalyze capacity for production of hydrogen peroxide using cathodic oxygen-reducing reaction. The hydrogen peroxide concentration could reach 80.52 mg·L- 1 within 2 h. The optimal conditions for this system are as follows: mass ratio of graphite to PTFE in cathode, 21, calcination temperature, 300 °C, current density,4.69mA/cm2, pH 13.0, and the distance between anode and cathode, 8cm. The high concentration of hydrogen peroxide generated gives a promising application of this novel gas diffusion electrode system in pulp bleaching and waste-water treatment.

In a bioelectrochemical system, the energy content in dissolved organic matter can be used to power the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is a potentially useful chemical at wastewater treatment plants. H2O2 can be produced by the cathodic reduction of oxygen. We investigated four types of gas-diffusion electrodes (GDEs) for this purpose. A GDE made of carbon nanoparticles bound with 30% polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (wt./wt.C) to a carbon fiber paper performed best and catalyzed H2O2 production from oxygen in air with a coulombic efficiency of 95.1%. We coupled the GDE to biological anodes in two bioelectrochemical reactors. When the anodes were fed with synthetic wastewater containing acetate they generated a current of up to ∼0.4 mA/mL total anode compartment volume. H2O2 concentrations of ∼0.2 and ∼0.5% could be produced in 5 mL catholyte in 9 and 21 h, respectively. When the anodes were fed with real wastewater, the generated current was ∼0.1 mA/mL and only 84 mg/L of H2O2 was produced.
