The anodic co-production of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) during alkaline water electrolysis has gained interest as a sustainable alternative for anthraquinone oxidation. However, electrochemical H₂O₂ production is often studied with idealized laboratory setups to determine the H₂O₂ formation kinetics. In this work, we perform the reaction with industrially relevant operating principles using a flow cell with separately recirculating anolyte and catholyte. We then fit the data to an analytical model that we derive based on mole balances that accounts for anodic generation, anodic oxidation, and bulk disproportionation of H₂O₂, as well as electrolyte volumes and electrode surface area. We performed experiments at 100, 200, and 300 mA cm^-2 to derive values for the reaction system. At 200 mA cm^-2, we found a generation rate of 0.037 mmol min^-1 cm^-2 (FE_H2O2 = 59%) and an anodic decomposition rate constant of 0.304 cm min^-1, with a bulk disproportionation rate constant of 1.85 × 10^-3 min^-1. We successfully applied our model to two sources in literature to derive values for their systems as well. In all cases, the contribution of anodic oxidation of H₂O₂ was found to be the larger loss mechanism in comparison to bulk disproportionation. Using the analytical model, we show that decreasing the reservoir volume is a simple way to increase the H₂O₂ concentration over time. Further refinement of the model can be achieved through the use of mass transfer relationships based on electrolyzer geometries to describe the anodic oxidation of H₂O₂ in the mole balance equations.

Suitable optoelectronic properties of lead halide perovskites make these materials interesting semiconductors for many applications. Toxic lead can be substituted by combining monovalent and trivalent cations, such as in Cs₂AgBiBr₆. However, efficiencies of Cs₂AgBiBr₆-based photovoltaics are still modest. To elucidate the loss mechanisms, in this report, we investigate charge dynamics in Cs₂AgBiBr₆ films by double-pulse excitation time-resolved microwave conductivity (DPE-TRMC). By exciting the sample with two laser pulses with identical wavelengths, we found a clear photoconductance enhancement induced by the second pulse even 30 μs after the first laser pulse. Modeling the DPE-TRMC results, complemented by photoluminescence and transient absorption, we reveal the presence of deep emissive electron traps, while shallow hole trapping is responsible for the long-lived transient absorption signals. These long-lived carriers offer interesting possibilities for X-ray detectors or photocatalysis. The DPE-TRMC methodology offers unique insight into the times involved in charge trapping and depopulation in Cs₂AgBiBr₆.
