SUMMARY
Hydrogen peroxide is produced through the electrolysis of water, where an electric current is passed through a dilute sulfuric acid solution. This process involves the oxidation of water at the anode and the reduction of oxygen at the cathode, resulting in the formation of hydrogen peroxide. The electrolytic preparation method is efficient and can be optimized by controlling the current density and temperature during the reaction.
