Scientists report the safe synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an oxidizing agent used in multiple industries including semiconductors, using a new rhodium-based catalyst. The catalyst is based on ...

Photocatalytic production of H2O2 from air and water represents a promising green strategy, yet its efficiency is limited by ...

A chemical product often used to bleach hair in salons across the globe should not be inhaled as a way to treat or prevent COVID-19, experts say. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America is ...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) functions as both a signalling molecule and a potentially damaging oxidant in plants. At controlled concentrations, it orchestrates stress perception and defence activation by ...

Why it works: Hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and breaks down into water, making it safe for most ...

Photocatalysis offers a promising route for using light to produce clean fuels and valuable chemicals. Hydrogen is widely ...

Chinese Journal of Catalysis is co-sponsored by Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Chemical Society, and it is currently published by Elsevier group. This ...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used to disinfect minor cuts at home and for oxidative reactions in industrial manufacturing. The pandemic has further fueled demand for its antiseptic properties, but H2O2 ...

sort has been found in a planetary atmosphere other than the Earth’s. Catalysts control the reactions of the most important chemical cycles in the Earth’s atmosphere. The result shows that scientists’ ...

The reaction of hydrogen peroxide with potassium iodide is demonstrated in a tall cylinder. Saturated potassium iodide is added to a mixture of soap, glycerin, water, and hydrogen peroxide. Oxygen and ...

Upon addition of hydrogen peroxide to Rochelle's salt (sodium potassium tartrate), the hydrogen peroxide decomposes and tartaric acid is oxidized. This reaction proceeds very slowly at room ...
