Abstract

Sacrificial electron donors are frequently used in photocatalytic reactions to enhance the performance of the reaction, typically short-chain alcohols as well as their respective aldehydes and acids are used. This study focuses on the differences between the individual electron donors regarding their oxidation rates, mechanistic pathways, the influence of the intermediates and their direct impact on the H 2O 2 generation. The individual H 2O 2 formation rates of 16 different electron donors, photonic and faradaic efficiencies for H 2O 2 production are carefully discussed. Furthermore, a new multi-reaction pathway for t-butanol oxidation is postulated and critically examined.
