Chemists and engineers writing in the journal Science reports a breakthrough in the decades-long effort to produce H2O2 directly from oxygen and hydrogen and to limit its decomposition after production. A gold-palladium catalyst, placed on a carbon support pretreated with nitric acid, will make it possible to produce H2O2 on-site, eliminating the need for storage and transport, which can be hazardous.
