Pulsed Electrolysis of Boron-Doped Carbon Dramatically Improves Impurity Tolerance and Longevity of H2O2 Production

Electrocatalytic water treatment has emerged in the limelight of scientific interest, yet its long-term viability remains largely in the dark. Herein, we present for the first time a comprehensive framework on how to optimize pulsed electrolysis to bolster catalyst impurity tolerance and overall longevity. By examining real wastewater constituents and assessing different catalyst designs, we deconvolute the complexities associated with key pulsing parameters to formulate optimal sequences that maximize operational lifetime. We showcase our approach for cathodic H
