Building and identifying highly active oxygenated groups in carbon materials for oxygen reduction to H2O2

The identity of catalytic sites for H2O2 generation in carbon-based materials remains controversial with limited experimental evidence to date. Here, the authors decorate various target functional groups on carbon materials and quinone-enriched samples exhibit the highest activity and selectivity.
