Direct, safe, and continuous synthesis of neutral H 2 O 2 solutions with concentrations of up to 8 wt % from O 2 and water has been accomplished by an improved electrolysis method involving a solid‐polymer electrolyte (SPE). The formation and accumulation of neutral H 2 O 2 were strongly enhanced by exposing the cathode to a stream of O 2 .
