When water is split electrolytically, the result is typically hydrogen -- and 'useless' oxygen. Instead of oxygen, you can also produce hydrogen peroxide, which is required for many branches of ...

The question of whether water can form hydrogen peroxide should be answered by thermodynamics (see C&EN, June 13, 2022, page 3). If a reaction is possible (spontaneous), then the change in the Gibbs ...

I read the article on Percy Julian’s house in C&EN (May 9, 2022, page 8), and I had an idea. To really showcase the American Chemical Society’s support for diversity, it would be great if you all ...

A new study has put a remarkable and unexpected chemical genesis on more solid footing. Back in 2019, Stanford University researchers and colleagues revealed the surprising discovery that hydrogen ...

First produced by French chemist Louis Jacques Thénard in 1818, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) has many uses. The chemical industry produces over 5 million tonnes of H 2 O 2 per year, for products such ...
