Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered a breakthrough in hydrogen peroxide production using modified graphene, which could revolutionize its use as a bleaching agent and disinfectant in various industrial applications.

This innovative production process, utilizing a material with similarities to two-dimensional graphene, demonstrates higher yields, improved cost-effectiveness, and increased environmental sustainability. With hydrogen peroxide playing a vital role in disinfection and chemical processes, this advancement holds significant potential for meeting the growing global demand for electronic-grade hydrogen peroxide.

The research team employed a 3D sponge-like carbon scaffold called Gii, developed by Integrated Graphene, a Scottish firm. Gii possesses the desired properties of graphene without the scalability challenges typically associated with the material. Through the use of Gii-based electrodes, the researchers achieved a four-fold increase in hydrogen peroxide production rate compared to existing methods. This electricity-based process proves to be not only cost-effective but also environmentally sustainable, mitigating the need for hazardous chemicals utilized in traditional production methods.

Currently, over 95% of hydrogen peroxide is manufactured using the anthraquinone process, which involves the use of harmful chemicals and generates toxic waste. While the alternative electrolytic process is more sustainable, it has been hindered by high energy consumption and low yields. The integration of graphene foam and a microporous polymer (PIM-1) within the Gii-based electrodes has the potential to revolutionize the electrolytic process, offering a greener and more efficient method of producing electronic-grade hydrogen peroxide.

The demand for electronic-grade hydrogen peroxide is projected to reach $2.2 billion by 2032, indicating a growing market opportunity. Integrated Graphene’s co-founder and CSO, Dr. Marco Caffio, highlights the industry’s need for a sustainable production method, aligning with the global demand for hydrogen peroxide. By combining Gii technology with PIM-1, this breakthrough paves the way for a more environmentally friendly and effective process, positioning it as a leading contender for future hydrogen peroxide production.

Professor Frank Marken from the University of Bath acknowledges the significance of improved hydrogen peroxide production and expresses a desire to further enhance efficiency. The next step involves combining simultaneous anode and cathode processes to produce hydrogen peroxide, aiming for even higher levels of efficiency. This advancement holds tremendous potential in meeting the evolving demands of various industries relying on hydrogen peroxide for their operations.

The discovery of modified graphene’s potential in hydrogen peroxide production represents a significant step towards a more sustainable and efficient process. By utilizing the Gii-based electrodes and incorporating PIM-1, researchers have demonstrated higher yields and improved cost-effectiveness. This breakthrough not only addresses environmental concerns associated with traditional production methods but also aligns with the growing global demand for electronic-grade hydrogen peroxide. As further developments unfold, this innovative approach holds the promise of transforming hydrogen peroxide production and driving sustainable practices across industries.
