Electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is an on-site method that enables independent distribution applications in many fields due to its small-scale and sustainable features. The crucial point remains developing highly active, selective and cost-effective electrocatalysts. The electrosynthesis of H₂O₂ in acidic media is more practical owing to its stability and no need for further purification. We herein report a phosphorus and selenium tuning Co-based non-precious catalyst (CoPSe) toward two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e^– ORR) to produce H₂O₂ in acidic media. The starting point of using both P and Se is finding a balance between strong ORR activity of CoSe and weak activity of CoP. The results demonstrated that the CoPSe catalyst exhibited the optimized 2e^– ORR activity compared with CoP and CoSe. It disclosed an onset potential of 0.68 V and the H₂O₂ selectivity 76%-85% in a wide potential range (0–0.5 V). Notably, the CoPSe catalyst overcomes a significant challenge of a narrow-range selectivity for transition-metal based 2e^– ORR catalysts. Finally, combining with electro-Fenton reaction, an on-site system was constructed for efficient degradation of organic pollutants. This work provides a promising non-precious Co-based electrocatalyst for the electrosynthesis of H₂O₂ in acidic media.
