Abstract: electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a decentralized production method with excellent application prospects. Coupling anodes with cathodes can achieve highly efficient electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide. In this study, we prepared an anode for H2O2 electrosynthesis via the two-electron water oxidation reaction (2e-WOR) by modifying carbon fiber paper with self-assembling monolayers. In addition, a natural air-diffused cathode loaded with polytetrafluoroethylene/carbon black using carbon cloth as substrate was prepared to combine with the modified anode to produce H2O2 simultaneously. The total current efficiency of the anode and cathode reached 152.9%, and the H2O2 production rate was as high as 38 µmol/min at 2.8 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrodes (RHE) in a Nafion 117 membrane-separated electrolyzer. This work reported a novel carbon-based 2e-WOR catalyst and laid a theoretical foundation for the simultaneous electrosynthesis of H2O2 with an anode and cathode.
