Electrolysis of H2O2
« on: September 11, 2005, 05:21:41 PM »
I'm trying to perform Electrolysis of H2O2 and looking for nice Hydrogen results (gas of course). What's the best electrode type to use without contamination and h2o2 decomposition? Thank you all.

Some people have used carbon electrodes that they have gotten from used disposable batteries. There are certain batteries when disassembled have carbon electrodes that are washed of electrolyte. Buried in the URL page below is an example

Great, I'll try that. What would the benifit (hydrogen) of using H2O2 Vs H2O? I'm trying to get the most I can without lot's of chemicals and is the amount of Brown's gas better (volume) using HP Vs water?

Read the URL article I posted thoroughly to understand what you are dealing with.

When I have seen electrolysis done it has been with distilled water with a little bit of sulfuric acid added. I would assume that if you have brown gas that there is some impurity in the processes since hydrogen is colorless. I do not know what electrolysis of hydrogen peroxide would be like, but I can guess it would be similar to water.

Ok, Thanks. Brown's gas (it's not the color) but it's the so called inventor (named after him) of when you seporate water and leave the gasses together rather than seporate them. Thank you.
