A catalyst adapted for generating hydrogen peroxide induced by a temperature difference and a method for environmental disinfection using the same are provided. The catalyst includes a thermoelectric material distributed on a substrate. The thermoelectric material induces a reaction between water vapor and oxygen contained in the air through a temperature difference to generate hydrogen peroxide, to serve a sterilization function through the hydrogen peroxide generated. The method for environmental disinfection using the catalyst includes the following. The catalyst is placed in an environment with a temperature difference. The catalyst is caused to induce a reaction between water vapor and oxygen contained in air through the temperature difference to generate hydrogen peroxide without applying power, and serve a sterilization function through the hydrogen peroxide generated.

A catalytic membrane composite that includes porous supported catalyst particles durably enmeshed in a porous fibrillated polymer membrane is provided. The porous fibrillated polymer membrane may be manipulated to take the form of a tube, disc, or diced tape and used in multiphase reaction systems. The supported catalyst particles are composed of at least one finely divided metal catalyst dispersed on a porous support substrate. High catalytic activity is gained by the effective fine dispersion of the finely divided metal catalyst such that the metal catalyst covers the support substrate and/or is interspersed in the pores of the support substrate. In some embodiments, the catalytic membrane composite may be introduced to a stirred tank autoclave reactor system, a continuous flow reactor system, or a Parr Shaker reaction system and used to effect the catalytic reaction.

An aftertreatment component for use in an exhaust aftertreatment system. The aftertreatment component comprises an aftertreatment substrate and a compressible material. The compressible material may be formed from a plastic thermoset, a rubberized material, or a metal foil which permits for the selective expansion of the substrate within the compressible material, while also reducing cost and manufacturing complexity. In various embodiments, the aftertreatment substrate and the compressible materials may be formed separately and coupled to each other, or they may be formed concurrently via coextrusion.
