H₂O₂ is an environmentally friendly oxidizing agent with minimal secondary pollution; however, its application has always been constrained by factors such as storage and transportation. In this study, we propose an innovative method for storing and releasing H₂O₂ using hydrogels. Commercial hydrogels (sodium polyacrylate) can undergo swelling and absorb H₂O₂ in aqueous solutions, and the swollen hydrogel can continuously release H₂O₂ under osmotic pressure. And the characteristics of osmotic pressure drive ensure the recyclability of hydrogel for H₂O₂ storage. Experimental results demonstrate that H₂O₂ can stably exist within the hydrogel for an extended period, and this strategy helps to avoid explosion the risk and potential environmental hazards during the transportation of H₂O₂. Finally, experiments confirm that the hydrogel controlled sustained release of H₂O₂ is effective in both Fenton reactions and the process of bacterial inactivation. This work introduces new ideas for the storage of H₂O₂, and the sustained release of H₂O₂ may have significant implications in the fields of healthcare, environmental science, catalysis, and beyond.
