Abstract

New graphitized carbon materials: technical carbon N220, С140, and СН85 (Omsktekhuglerod) were studied as catalysts of electrosynthesis of alkaline solutions of hydrogen peroxide from oxygen in gasdiffusion electrodes (GDEs). The kinetic parameters of oxygen reduction in alkaline solution and the capacity of gas-diffusion electrodes based on technical carbon N220, С140, and СН85 were determined. Data on the kinetics of hydrogen peroxide accumulation were obtained at different current densities. The fraction of current γ spent on the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide was determined. The rate constants of hydrogen peroxide decomposition under the given conditions were calculated.
