US Patent:

45334439, Aug 6, 1985

Filed:

Oct 19, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/543574

Inventors:

Mark S. Wrighton - Winchester MA
Robert M. Buchanan - Louisville KY
Gary S. Calabrese - Reading MA

Assignee:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

C25B 130

US Classification:

204 84

Abstract:

Methods, materials and apparatus for production of hydrogen peroxide are disclosed. In one preferred embodiment, high surface area circulating elements derivatized with a quinone catalyst are reduced in an electrolytic cell where the cathode may also be derivatized with a quinone catalyst and a solution quinone at low concentration is used as a mediator. Once reduced, the circulating elements are separated and used to form hydrogen peroxide from molecular oxygen in an aqueous, electrolyte-free, environment. The circulating elements can be cycled repeatedly. Particular, novel naphthoquinone compounds are also disclosed.
