Description

In order to address DoD’s urgent need for decentralized generation of hydrogen peroxide for decontamination on remote sites, ChromoLogic LLC (CL) proposes to develop an aerophilic-electrode-based membrane free electrolyzer (AMeFE) as a light-weight, energy saving, and high efficiency H2O2 generator to support application of SEDS. Electrolyte applied in AMeFE will maintain an optimal solution pH (~3) and will be recycle by a low pressure (<1.2 bar) driven membrane filtration process. Unlike the regular electrolysis reactors, AMeFE will boost H2O2 productivity with deliberately design carbon-based catalytic electrodes for 2e- WOR and 2e- ORR simultaneously. According to the preliminary estimation, the AMeFE is capable of producing 0.2L 40 wt% H2O2 solution per hour without containing any potential hazards.
