Can Hydrogen Peroxide Make Hydrogen Gas?

How Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposes: Water and Oxygen Sometimes people confuse molecular hydrogen (H2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), thinking they are somehow the same or can create hydrogen water. While hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can indeed decompose, it typically separates into water and oxygen gas, not hydrogen gas. The decomposition reaction looks like this: 2H2O2 → 2H2O…

Hydrogen: An Emerging Medical Gas

INTRODUCTION Molecular hydrogen (i.e. H2 gas) is gaining significant attention from academic researchers, medical doctors, and physicians around the world for its recently reported therapeutic potential [1]. One of the earliest publications on hydrogen as a medical gas was in 1975, by Dole and colleagues from Baylor University and Texas A&M [2]. They reported in the journal Science that…

Hydrogen: Alternative Fuel To Alternative Medicine

(Also published on the Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine website, September 2018) Hydrogen gas (H2) has been extoled for its use in “green energy” as an alternative fuel, but biomedical research over the past decade suggests it also has therapeutic biological benefits.  For example, the preliminary 1000+ preclinical and clinical studies have reported hydrogen to have…
