Abstract

The study of electrode materials applied to the generation of H2O2 from the oxygen reduction reaction is important for the development of new materials with specific electrochemical activity. In this sense, the understanding of the porous microclayer structure in electrochemical studies is essential for the adaptation of the electrochemical behavior of each material to its structure and composition.
