Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a strong oxidizing agent. High concentration H2O2 or High Test Peroxide (HTP) has been used extensively in the past in propulsion applications as mono and bipropellant. At low temperature, HTP can be catalytically decomposed to water and oxygen. Drawbacks to this approach include catalyst poisoning due to the presence of stabilizers in HTP, and susceptibility of the ...

The exposure of human cells to oxidative stress leads to the oxidation of biomolecules such as lipids, proteins and nuclei acids. In this study, the oxidation of lipids, proteins and DNA was studied after the addition of hydrogen peroxide and Fenton reagent to cell suspension containing human leukemic monocyte lymphoma cell line U937. EPR spin-trapping data showed that the addition of hydrogen ...

A ternary composite of hemin, gold nanoparticles and graphene is prepared by a two-step process. Firstly, graphene-hemin composite is synthesized through π-π interaction and then hydrogen tetracholoroauric acid is reduced in situ by ascorbic acid. This ternary composite shows a higher catalytic activity for decomposition of hydrogen peroxide than that of three components alone or the mixture of...
