What is it about?
It is demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide can be produced with a current eciency of 40±70% by the reduction of oxygen at a reticulated vitreous carbon cathode in a divided ¯ow cell using catholytes consisting of aqueous chloride or sulfate media, pH12.

Why is it important?
The application of hydrogen peroxide electrogener-ated directly in the waste water,
Perspectives
The use of a three dimensional electrode fabricated from reticulated vitreous carbon allows hydrogen peroxide to be produced at pH12 at a rate which makes possible, for example, the use of this approach for euent treatment
