Description
Pengfei Bai and co-authors report a 2026 light-driven method that makes hydrogen peroxide while also upgrading a plant-based alcohol. They joined zinc indium sulfide with carbon dots, forming a junction that splits light-made charges well. Furfuryl alcohol plays three roles at once: electron donor, starting material, and proton source.
In a very dry solvent mix, the system reached a peroxide rate of 24 mmol per gram per hour with high light use. The alcohol turned into furoic acid with 98% conversion and full selectivity for that product in the reported tests. Pairing a useful oxidation with peroxide output could cut waste in green chemical production.
