Rethinking hydrogen peroxide production

Hydro-Oxy and Addible both aim to transform how industry produces and uses a ubiquitous oxidant.

Industrially produced hydrogen peroxide is concentrated for transport (introducing handling hazards) and then re-diluted in water for use. A more efficient process would be to generate it in-situ. Many chemical processes are also incompatible with water, so an organic, water-free version could expand the utility of an oxidant with low environmental impact.
