Electro-synthesis of Oxidizing Agents

To save energy, an oxygen diffusion cathode is reported to be used in this process.147 

Because hydrogen peroxide is stable in acidic solution, a three-compartment electrolyzer was reported using cation and anion exchange membranes and an anion exchange membrane. Namely, the dilute sulfuric acid is fed to the anode 

The H02 permeates through the anion exchange membrane to the acidic middle compartment to produce a concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution.148
