Electrifying the synthesis of commodity chemicals can play a critical role in achieving carbon neutrality, as well as addressing global 

energy and environmental problems. Among the diverse range of chemicals, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has emerged as a 

promising green oxidant and liquid hydrogen carrier.However, H2O2 is currently produced by the anthraquinone autooxidation 

process under harsh conditions with huge energy consumption. Consequently, researchers have been actively exploring alternative

approaches for the synthesis of H2O2 using renewable resources under milder conditions.

In this regard, extensive studies have focused on the green synthesis of H2O2 using renewable electricity and employing either electro-

catalysts or photocatalysts directly powered by sunlight. Most conventional studies on electrochemical H2O2 production have been 

conducted under alkaline conditions, which are known to facilitate efficient H2O2 production. However, it is important to note that 

H2O2 becomes unstable at high pHs. Moreover, from an environmental standpoint, there is a strong desire to develop electrocatalysts 

that can operate at neutral pH.
