Recent reports on the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in water microdroplets produced via pneumatic spraying or capillary condensation have garnered significant attention. How covalent bonds in water could break under such mild conditions challenges our textbook understanding of physical chemistry and water. While there is no definitive answer, it has been speculated that ultrahigh electric fields at the air–water interface are responsible for this chemical transformation. Here, we report…

It is shown that pure water microdroplets directly generate H2O2 without help from O2 either in air surrounding the droplet or dissolved in water, and suggests that hydroxyl radical (OH) recombination is the most likely source.

It is reported that H2O2 is spontaneously produced in water microdroplets formed by dropwise condensation of water vapor on low-temperature substrates, suggesting that spontaneous water oxidation to form H1O2 from water micro droplets is a general phenomenon.
