Abstract

Abstract: A quantitative and gentle oxidation (combustion) of hydrogen in the presence of oxygen in a variety of solvents was achieved under palladium on carbon (Pd/C)-catalyzed conditions at ordinary pressures and temperatures. A quantitative generation of water accountable for the consumed oxygen was observed. While hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which would form as an intermediate, was extremely unstable under the Pd/C-catalyzed ...
