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 vaporized hydrogen peroxide. Unlike the regular electrolysis reactors, AMeFE will boost H2O2 productivity with deliberately design carbon-based catalytic electrodes for 2e- WOR and 2e- ORR simultaneously. With assistance of solid electrolyte, contaminant-free H2O2 solution is supposed to be directly generated in AMeFE without application of any post-treatment (e.g. purification or separation process) on the product. According to the preliminary test result and estimation, the AMeFE device is capable of producing 0.2L 35 wt% H2O2 solution per hour without containing any potential hazards.
