The anthraquinone process is currently the predominant method for large-scale H2O2 production, but the reaction’s high energy consumption and hazardous waste generation spur the search for alternatives. Here, the authors investigate the two-electron oxygen reduction reactivities of metal-free non-porous, micro-, and mesoporous carbon catalysts to elucidate the impacts of porous structures, finding mesoporous structures show the highest H2O2 production selectivity.
