This study focuses on the development and application of an electrochemical flow reactor (EFR) based on a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) for in situ hydrogen peroxide production via the oxygen reduction reaction. Existing literature lacks comprehensive investigations into GDE-based EFR hydrodynamics and their correlation with electrochemical effects. To help fill this gap in the literature, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed in the present study in order to analyze the hydrodynamic behavior of a GDE-based EFR. The study used the flow rate and interelectrode gap as RSM variables for the analysis of hydrodynamic behavior. Residence time distribution (RTD) was used to assess hydraulic effects, and the results were compared with H 2 O 2 kinetics, where relevant insights were obtained relative to hydraulic and electrochemical effects in the system. The findings of the study point to the importance of hydrodynamic residence time in the EFR and its impact on H 2 O 2 production. Through RSM analysis, the electrochemical conditions (energy consumption, applied current, and oxygen efficiency) of the EFR were evaluated using variables such as current density, O 2 flow rate, and conductivity. The resulting regression equation accurately predicted in situ H 2 O 2 production cost, which was found to align well with the experimental results. The study compared a single-pass system with a common recirculating system in EFRs, where the former exhibited a 32.4% increase in H 2 O 2 electrogeneration efficiency compared to the latter. In summary, this study provides valuable insights into GDE-based EFR hydrodynamics through RSM-based modulation of the operating conditions. The findings of this study help in the scaling of EFR technology and the improvement of H 2 O 2 production efficiency.
