ABSTRACT

This review article is based on a literature review, including our own work on the production of peroxide compounds. The chemical production of these compounds is a multi-stage and technologically complex process. Electrochemical synthesis of peroxide compounds requires studying the stabilization conditions for the anion-radical species formed in this process. Analysis of literature data revealed that the formation of peroxide compounds during electrolysis is significantly influenced by the composition of the electrolyte used, the electrolysis temperature, the nature of the electrodes (anodes), the pH of the medium, and other factors. Previous assumptions regarding the stabilization of radical species at low electrolysis temperatures are confirmed. The degree of stabilization of unstable anion-radical species formed during electrolysis is significantly affected by the nature of the anions. It has been shown that the probability of mutual scavenging reactions between radicals formed during low-temperature electrolysis, resulting in the formation of peroxo compounds, is determined by the ratio of the rates of surface secondary reactions of radical species formed during anion discharge.
