Non-explosive route to gren reagent

摘要

Hydrogen peroxide can be efficiently synthesised form hydrogen and oxygen without the need for strong acids or therisk of explosion,according to a team of Spanish researchers.Common routes to this useful oxidant aregenerally expensive and hazardous but a team of chemists led byJose Fierro,based at instituto deCatalisis y petroleoquimica in Madrid,have developed a catalyst which enables the hydrogen peroxide to be prepared directly from hydrogne and oxygen in a solvent.
