In collaboration with Professor Cao Thang Dinh and Grafoid Inc., we investigated making hydrogen peroxide for wastewater treatment with an electrochemical process. Here, the presence of surfactants, as we find them in grey water (from sink, laundry machine, shower etc) inhibits the hydrogen peroxide production. In our paper, we show that hydrophobization of the electrode surface leads to increased surfactant tolerance and to high and stable hydrogen peroxide production rates
