Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of electrochemically producing halogen using an oxygen consuming gas diffusion electrode, referred to herein as an oxygen depolarized cathode (ODC). The electrode can include heteroatom-doped carbon nanostructures as catalysts for both halogen evolving anodes and oxygen depolarized cathodes. Examples of halogens that can be produced include chlorine and bromine by oxidation of the respective halide ions.
