The synthesis of hydrogen peroxide through artificial photosynthesis is a green and promising technology with advantages in sustainability, economy and safety. However, superoxide radical (⋅O2 -), an important intermediate in photocatalytic oxygen reduction to H2O2 production, has strong oxidizing p...
