- Abstract
The production of hydrogen peroxide (H
2 O2 ) by photocatalytic reduction of oxygen (O2 ) has attracted considerable attention as a more efficient and cleaner method than traditional methods for synthesizing H2 O2 . Carbon nitride (C3 N4 ) is a suitable photocatalyst for H2 O2 production under solar light due to its band gap. The objective of this study was to achieve rapid production and high concentration of H2 O2 over a C3 N4 photocatalyst through the strategy of increasing the H2 O2 production rate and decreasing the H2 O2 decomposition rate. The results showed that 34 mM H2 O2 was produced by photocatalytic reactions in an alcohol at slightly elevated temperatures under visible light irradiation. To gain a deeper understanding of the rapid production and high concentration of H2 O2 , various parameters were investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
