On the concept of metal–hydrogen peroxide batteries: improvement over metal–air batteries?
Kai S. Exner
Abstract
While peroxide formation can be steered toward the desired product without loss in activity, a trade-off between activity and selectivity is encountered for the 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode in metal–hydrogen peroxide batteries.
