Abstract
Electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) through the selective oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) offers a promising alternative to the energy-intensive anthraquinone method, while its success relies largely on the development of efficient electrocatalyst. Currently, carbon-based materials (CMs) are the most widely studied electrocatalysts for electrosynthesis of H2 O2 via ORR due to their low cost, earth abundance, and tunable catalytic properties. To achieve a high 2e- ORR selectivity, great progress is made in promoting the performance of carbon-based electrocatalysts and unveiling their underlying catalytic mechanisms. Here, a comprehensive review in the field is presented by summarizing the recent advances in CMs for H2 O2 production, focusing on the design, fabrication, and mechanism investigations over the catalytic active moieties, where an enhancement effect of defect engineering or heteroatom doping on H2 O2 selectivity is discussed thoroughly. Particularly, the influence of functional groups on CMs for a 2e- -pathway is highlighted. Further, for commercial perspectives, the significance of reactor design for decentralized H2 O2 production is emphasized, bridging the gap between intrinsic catalytic properties and apparent productivity in electrochemical devices. Finally, major challenges and opportunities for the practical electrosynthesis of H2 O2 and future research directions are proposed.

Abstract
Electrochemical production of H2O2 is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to the anthraquinone-based processes. Metal-doped carbon-based catalysts are commonly used for 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e-ORR) due to their high selectivity. However, the exact roles of metals and carbon defects on ORR catalysts for H2O2 production remain unclear. Herein, by varying the Co loading in the pyrolysis precursor, a Co-N/O-C catalyst with Faradaic efficiency greater than 90% in alkaline electrolyte was obtained. Detailed studies revealed that the active sites in the Co-N/O-C catalysts for 2e-ORR were carbon atoms in C-O-C groups at defect sites. The direct contribution of cobalt single atom sites and metallic Co for the 2e-ORR performance was negligible. However, Co plays an important role in the pyrolytic synthesis of a catalyst by catalyzing carbon graphitization, tuning the formation of defects and oxygen functional groups, and controlling O and N concentrations, thereby indirectly enhancing 2e-ORR performance.

Abstract
A core-shell TS-1@Co-N-C was prepared by thermally pyrolyzing polydopamine and cobalt acetate outside TS-1 crystals. The Co-N-C shell catalyzes the electrochemical oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), while the TS-1 core catalyzes the oxidation of organic reagents. It achieved a H2O2 selectivity higher than 95% without organics, and accomplished an excellent bisphenol selectivity of 99.45% when coupled with phenol oxidation. Moreover, paired oxidation of furfural at both cathodic and anodic sides further led to an overall Faradaic efficiency of 141.09%. This bifunctional catalyst helps to integrate the in situ generation and usage of H2O2 into a single electrode, thus reduces the equipment and operating costs.

Abstract
The two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) has become a hopeful alternative for production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), but its practical feasibility is hindered by the lack of efficient electrocatalysts to achieve high activity and selectivity. Herein, we successfully synthesized outstanding nitrogen doped hollow carbon nanospheres (NHCSs) for electrochemical production of H2O2. In 0.1 M KOH, NHCSs exhibit superior and sustained catalytic activity for the 2e- ORR with an unordinary selectivity of 96.6%. Impressively, such NHCSs manifest an ultrahigh H2O2 yield rate of 7.32 mol gcat.-1 h-1 and a high faradaic efficiency of 96.7% at 0.5 V in an H-cell system. Density functional theory calculations were performed to further reveal the catalytic mechanism involved.

Abstract
Shifting electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) via two-electron pathway becomes increasingly crucial as an alternative/green method for hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) generation. Here, the development of 2e- ORR catalysts in recent years is reviewed, in aspects of reaction mechanism exploration, types of high-performance catalysts, factors to influence catalytic performance, and potential applications of 2e- ORR. Based on the previous theoretical and experimental studies, the underlying 2e- ORR catalytic mechanism is firstly unveiled, in aspect of reaction pathway, thermodynamic free energy diagram, limiting potential, and volcano plots. Then, various types of efficient catalysts for producing H2 O2 via 2e- ORR pathway are summarized. Additionally, the catalytic active sites and factors to influence catalysts' performance, such as electronic structure, carbon defect, functional groups (O, N, B, S, F etc.), synergistic effect, and others (pH, pore structure, steric hindrance effect, etc.) are discussed. The H2 O2 electrogeneration via 2e- ORR also has various potential applications in wastewater treatment, disinfection, organics degradation, and energy storage. Finally, potential future directions and prospects in 2e- ORR catalysts for electrochemically producing H2 O2 are examined. These insights may help develop highly active/selective 2e- ORR catalysts and shape the potential application of this electrochemical H2 O2 producing method.

Abstract
Direct urea fuel cells (DUFCs) have recently drawn increased attention as sustainable power generation devices because of their considerable advantages. Nonetheless, the kinetics of the oxidation-reduction reaction, particularly the electrochemical oxidation and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), in direct urea fuel cells are slow and hence considered to be inefficient. To overcome these disadvantages in DUFCs, Pd nanoparticles loaded onto Co3O4 supported by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Pd/Co3O4@MWCNT) were employed as a promising cathode catalyst for enhancing the electrocatalytic activity and oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode in DUFCs. Co3O4@MWCNT and Pd/Co3O4@MWCNT were synthesized via a facile two-step hydrothermal process. A Pd/MWCNT catalyst was also prepared and evaluated to study the effect of Co3O4 on the performance of the Pd/Co3O4@MWCNT catalyst. A current density of 13.963 mA cm-2 and a maximum power density of 2.792 mW cm-2 at 20 °C were obtained. Pd/Co3O4@MWCNT is a prospectively effective cathode catalyst for DUFCs. The dilution of Pd with non-precious metal oxides in adequate amounts is economically conducive to highly practical catalysts with promising electrocatalytic activity in fuel cell applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical hydrogen peroxide synthesis using two-electron oxygen electrochemistry is an intriguing alternative to currently dominating environmentally unfriendly and potentially hazardous anthraquinone process and noble metals catalysed direct synthesis. Electrocatalytic two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and water oxidation reaction (WOR) are the source of electrochemical hydrogen peroxide generation. Various electrocatalysts have been used for the same and were characterized using several electroanalytical, chemical, spectroscopic and chromatographic tools. Though there have been a few reviews summarizing the recent developments in this field, none of them have unified the approaches in catalysts' design, criticized the ambiguities and flaws in the methods of evaluation, and emphasized the role of electrolyte engineering. Hence, we dedicated this review to discuss the recent trends in the catalysts' design, performance optimization, evaluation perspectives and their appropriateness and opportunities with electrolyte engineering. In addition, particularized discussions on fundamental oxygen electrochemistry, additional methods for precise screening, and the role of solution chemistry of synthesized hydrogen peroxide are also presented. Thus, this review discloses the state-of-the-art in an unpresented view highlighting the challenges, opportunities, and alternative perspectives.

Abstract
To contribute a solution for the global warming problem, the selective electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was studied in the gas phase using a [CO2(g), Co-N-C cathode | Nafion-H | Pt/C anode, H2/water] system without using carbonate solutions. The Co-N-C electrocatalysts were synthesized by partial pyrolysis of precursors in inert gas, which were prepared from various N-bidentate ligands, Co(NO3)2, and Ketjenblack (KB). The most active electrocatalyst was Co-(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine)/KB pyrolyzed at 673 K, denoted Co-4,4'-dmbpy/KB(673K). A high performance of CO formation (331 μmol h-1 cm-2, 217 TOF h-1) at 0.020 A cm-2 with 78% current efficiency was obtained at -0.75 V (SHE) and 273 K under strong acidic conditions of Nafion-H. Characterization studies using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray (TEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and temperature-programmed desorption with mass spectrometry (TPD-MS) indicated the active site as Co coordinated with four N atoms bonding the surface of KB, abbreviated Co-N4-C x structure. A model of the reduction mechanism of CO2 on the active site was proposed.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic conversion of earth-abundant simple molecules into value-added commodity chemicals can transform current chemical production regimes with enormous socioeconomic and environmental benefits. For these applications, 2D electrocatalysts have emerged as a new class of high-performance electrocatalyst with massive forward-looking potential. Recent advances in 2D electrocatalysts are reviewed for emerging applications that utilize naturally existing H2 O, N2 , O2 , Cl- (seawater) and CH4 (natural gas) as reactants for nitrogen reduction (N2 → NH3 ), two-electron oxygen reduction (O2 → H2 O2 ), chlorine evolution (Cl- → Cl2 ), and methane partial oxidation (CH4 → CH3 OH) reactions to generate NH3 , H2 O2 , Cl2 , and CH3 OH. The unique 2D features and effective approaches that take advantage of such features to create high-performance 2D electrocatalysts are articulated with emphasis. To benefit the readers and expedite future progress, the challenges facing the future development of 2D electrocatalysts for each of the above reactions and the related perspectives are provided.

Abstract
On-site peroxide generation via electrochemical reduction is gaining tremendous attention due to its importance in many fields, including water treatment technologies. Oxidized graphitic carbon-based materials have been recently proposed as an alternative to metal-based catalysts in the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and in this work we unravel the role of C=O groups in graphene towards sustainable peroxide formation. We demonstrate a versatile single-step electrochemical exfoliation of graphite to graphene with a controllable degree of oxygen functionalities and thickness, leading to the formation of large quantities of functionalized graphene with tunable rate parameters, such as the rate constant and exchange current density. Higher oxygen-containing exfoliated graphene is known to undergo a two-electron reduction path in ORR having an efficiency of about 80 ± 2% even at high overpotential. Bulk production of H2O2 via electrolysis was also demonstrated at low potential (0.358 mV vs RHE), yielding ≈34 mg/L peroxide with highly functionalized (≈23 atom %) graphene and ≈16 g/L with low functionalized (≈13 atom %) graphene, which is on par with the peroxide production using state-of-the-art precious-metal-based catalysts. Hence this method opens a new scheme for the single-step large-scale production of functionalized carbon-based catalysts (yield ≈45% by weight) that have varying functionalities and can deliver peroxide via the electrochemical ORR process.

Abstract
Carbon materials doped with nitrogen are active catalysts for the electrochemical two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to hydrogen peroxide. Insights into the individual role of the various chemical nitrogen functionalities in the H2 O2 production, however, have remained scarce. Here, we explore a catalytically very active family of nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials, prepared by direct pyrolysis of ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) with polyethylenimine (PEI). Voltammetric rotating ring-disk analysis in combination with chronoamperometric bulk electrolysis measurements in electrolysis cells demonstrate a pronounced effect of the applied potentials, current densities, and electrolyte pH on the H2 O2 selectivity and absolute production rates. H2 O2 selectivity up to 95.3 % was achieved in acidic environment, whereas the largest H2 O2 production rate of 570.1 mmol g-1 catalyst h-1 was observed in neutral solution. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) analysis suggests a key mechanistic role of pyridinic-N in the catalytic process in acid, whereas graphitic-N groups appear to be catalytically active moieties in neutral and alkaline conditions. Our results contribute to the understanding and aid the rational design of efficient carbon-based H2 O2 production catalysts.

Abstract
This review introduces the concept of direct H2O2 fuel cells and discusses the merits of these systems in comparison with other ‘clean-energy’ fuels. Through electrochemical methods, H2O2 fuel can be generated from environmentally benign energy sources such as wind and solar. It also produces only water and oxygen when it is utilised in a direct H2O2 fuel cell, making it a fully reversible system. The electrochemical methods for H2O2 production are discussed here as well as the recent research aimed at increasing the efficiency and power of direct H2O2 fuel cells.
