The current yield of hydrogen peroxide during cathodic readuction of oxygen in porous electrodes from various carbonaceous materials is the lower the higher is the number of paramagnetic centers in these materials. A substantial decrease in the concentration of paramagnetic centers by heating to 900 °C in vacuum is only temporary, whereas by heating with alkali metal sulphides it is practically permanent.

The influence of the temperature and pressure applied in preparation of porous electrodes from Teflon-bonded carbon black on the hydrogen peroxide current yield and the current density was investigated. The porous structure, the wetted surface area of carbon black, and the electric resistance of the electrode mass were examined in order to establish the factors responsible for the varying electrode activity.

With porous electrodes prepared by pressing a mixture of carbon black and polyethylene powder, the influence of the content of the binder on their electric resistance, wettability, current density, and current yield of peroxide during reduction of oxygen was studied.
