Researchers at the S N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences in Kolkata have made a breakthrough in sustainable chemistry by discovering a more efficient and environmentally friendly method for producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Through the development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with high water affinity, the team achieved a significant improvement in photocatalytic H2O2 production. By modifying the hydrazone linkage density in COFs, they created an effective photocatalyst that enhances the water oxidation reaction (WOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) crucial for H2O2 synthesis. This innovation allows for H2O2 production under sunlight, making it a clean and sustainable alternative to current energy-intensive industrial processes. The study also found that using an aqueous benzyl alcohol solution not only increased H2O2 production but also prevented its degradation. The researchers believe this could lead to the development of an industry-friendly continuous flow reactor for large-scale sustainable H2O2 production. This advancement is set to revolutionize industries relying on hydrogen peroxide by offering a greener, cost-effective, and more sustainable solution for the future.
