Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) is an important chemical as it is an environmentally friendly oxidant for organic synthesis and environmental remediation as well as a promising candidate for the liquid fuel. Photocatalytic generation of H 2O 2 is sustainable, and many efforts have been put into the development of new catalysts to gain high H 2O 2 yields. In this investigation, Au/ZnO, Ag/ZnO and Au-Ag/ZnO catalysts were prepared by the simultaneous impregnation of HAuCl 4 and AgNO 3 and they were used to generate H 2O 2 from a methanol/O 2 system. It was demonstrated that Au/ZnO had the best performance at generating H 2O 2. The presence of Au on ZnO accelerated the generation of H 2O 2 on ZnO and facilitated H 2O 2 adsorption onto the catalyst surface, which resulted in the reaction kinetics changing from zero-order to first-order. Ag atoms on Ag/ZnO were unstable and would strip from the surface of ZnO during irradiation, decreasing the yield of H 2O 2. The stabilization of Ag on Au-Ag/ZnO depended on the ratio of Au and Ag. Au 0.1Ag 0.2/ZnO was a stable catalyst and it showed that the presence of Ag promoted the formation and decomposition of peroxide, simultaneously.
