摘要
Hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))is an efficient oxidant with multiple uses ranging from chemical synthesis to wastewater treatment.The in-situ H_(2)O_(2)production via a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)will bring H_(2)O_(2)beyond its current applications.The development of carbon materials offers the hope for obtaining inexpensive and high-performance alternatives to substitute noble-metal catalysts in order to provide a full and comprehensive picture of the current state of the art treatments and inspire new research in this area.Herein,the most up-to-date findings in theoretical predictions,synthetic methodologies,and experimental investigations of carbon-based catalysts are systematically summarized.Various electrode fabrication and modification methods were also introduced and compared,along with our original research on the air-breathing cathode and three-phase interface theory inside a porous electrode.In addition,our current understanding of the challenges,future directions,and suggestions on the carbon-based catalyst designs and electrode fabrication are highlighted.
