Estimating the term…
The present invention provides a hydrogen peroxide production method and a hydrogen peroxide production kit that are capable of producing hydrogen peroxide more efficiently and at lower costs than conventional methods. Specifically, the present invention provides a hydrogen peroxide production method comprising: (1) a hydrogen peroxide generation step of generating hydrogen peroxide by irradiating a reaction system containing water, an organic polymer photocatalyst, and O2 with light, wherein (2) the organic polymer photocatalyst comprises an organic polymer having a structure such that a monocyclic or polycyclic aromatic compound and/or a monocyclic or polycyclic heteroaromatic compound is/are linked by a bridging group, and (3) the organic polymer has a band structure such that a conduction band (CB) has a potential lower than the potential of two-electron reduction of O2, and a valance band (VB) has a potential higher than the potential of four-electron oxidation of water.
A hydrogen peroxide production method comprising:
A hydrogen peroxide production kit comprising an organic polymer photocatalyst, wherein
An organic polymer photocatalyst for use in a hydrogen peroxide production method, wherein
An organic polymer photocatalyst production method comprising the step of subjecting a starting material mixture containing resorcinol and formaldehyde to hydrothermal reaction in an aqueous-based solvent in the presence of an acid catalyst or base catalyst to thereby obtain a resorcinol-formaldehyde resin.
