Overview
About the project
Recent reports on the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in water microdroplets produced via pneumatic spraying [1] or capillary condensation [2] have garnered significant attention. How covalent bonds in water could break under such mild conditions challenges our textbook understanding of physical chemistry and the water substance. 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. We are carrying out a comprehensive experimental investigation of H2O2 formation in
- water microdroplets sprayed over a range of liquid flow-rates, the (shearing) air flow rates, and the air composition
- water microdroplets condensed on hydrophobic substrates formed via hot water or humidifier under controlled air composition.
The Formation of Hydrogen Peroxide in Water Microdroplet (Internship) project is offered at King Abdullah University Of Science and Technology (KAUST)

- The intern will conduct a comprehensive experimental investigation of H2O2 formation in (i) water microdroplets sprayed over a range of liquid flow-rates, the (shearing) air flow rates, and the air composition (ii) water microdroplets condensed on hydrophobic substrates formed via hot water or humidifier under controlled air composition. This will also entail a comparative assessment of the various H2O2 detection kits/assays available.
- Glovebox experiments will be deployed to quantify H2O2 formation in water microdroplets as a function of the air-borne ozone (O3) concentration. • Effects of atmospherically relevant O3(g) concentrations (10–100 ppb) on the formation of H2O2(aq) will be evaluated.
- Effects of the gas–liquid surface area, mixing, and contact duration will be quantified.

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
