Direct insights into the role of epoxy groups on cobalt sites for acidic H2O2 production

The production of hydrogen peroxide by electrochemical oxygen reduction is an attractive alternative to the industrial process, but catalysts should be optimized. Here, the authors enhance hydrogen peroxide production in acidic media with epoxy groups near cobalt centers on carbon nanotubes.
