Hydrogen peroxide is widely used across industries, including paper bleaching, water treatment, food disinfection, mining, and semiconductor etching. However, the conventional anthraquinone-based production method is both energy-intensive and generates significant waste. In contrast, electrochemical hydrogen peroxide production uses only water, air, and electricity, enabling efficient, on-site, and on-demand generation.
