In a Totally Unexpected Finding, Water Has Spontaneously Produced Hydrogen Peroxide

Science Alert  September 1, 2019
According to the researchers at Stanford University the spontaneous production of hydrogen peroxide can occur when water is atomised into microdroplets without any chemical reagent, catalyst, applied electric potential, or radiation. Hydrogen peroxide production yield was inversely proportional to microdroplet size. The discovery could lead to new and more environmentally sustainable ways of manufacturing this common chemical and innovative opportunities including green and inexpensive production of hydrogen peroxide, green chemical synthesis, safe cleaning, and food processing…read more.
