usually acts as an oxidizing agent, but there are many reactions where it acts as a reducing agent, releasing oxygen as a by-product. It also readily forms both inorganic and organic peroxides. Decomposition (Disproportionation) Hydrogen peroxide often decomposes exothermically into water and oxygen...
The oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide (ORHP) performance of the synthesized samples with different oxygen groups was evaluated using a rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE). Since H2O2can upshift the potential of the reference electrode because of its strong oxidizing nature (Supplementary Fig.9),...
[38] have stated that H2O2 is poorly reactive because of its weaker oxidizing and reducing capabilities. Hence, biologically it can be a cytotoxic agent by converting itself into hydroxyl radical in the presence of metal ions and superoxide anion and produces singlet oxygen through reaction with ...
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a universal oxidizing agent which can be utilized either alone or in combination with other reagents for various purposes, such as pulp and textile bleaching [1], chemical synthesis [2], and wastewater treatment [3]. In the environmental field, H2O2 is used in man...
A process is provided for the destruction of nitrogen oxides in sulfuric acid by adding a reducing agent, such as hydrazine, sulfamic acid or urea, and an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or persulfates, into the nitrogen oxides contaminated sulfuric acid. The nitrogen oxides ...

Hydrogen peroxide produced by electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction provides a potentially cost effective and energy efficient alternative to the industrial anthraquinone process. In this study, we demonstrate that by modulating the oxygen functional
Hydrogen peroxide, unlike chlorine, does not produce harmful organic compounds when used for removing and destroying molds and mildews, and its high oxidizing power ensures it will destroy the mold or mildew completely when applied correctly. ...
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an environmentally friendly oxidizing agent, and demand for it as an eco-friendly alternative to chlorine in the pulp/paper industries and wastewater treatment has been increasing day-by-day [1]. Also, there is a trend for using H2O2 as a green oxidant in the la...
It is known that H2O2 is a strong oxidizing agent, and that citrate is a stabilizing agent that can contribute to the shape–direction growth of AgNPs. Citrate acts as a co-coating agent and selectively attaches itself to the {111} facets, blocking the growth along that direction and ...
