A photocatalyst that can produce hydrogen peroxide from oxygen and water

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a colorless liquid compound with strong oxidizing properties that can have numerous industrial and medical applications. This compound is generally synthesized through the anthraquinone process, through which the compound anthraquinone combined with palladium-based materials catalyzes the oxidation of dihydrogen (H2) to H2O2 with O2 from air.
