Redox potentials for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Half‐reaction	Redox couple	Redox potential versus RHE at physiological pH 7.4 [V] a)
O2 + → e− + •O2 −	O2/•O2 −	−0.18
•O2 − + 2H+ + e− → H2O2	•O2 −/H2O2	0.87
H2O2 + H+ + e− → H2O + •OH	H2O2/•OH	0.36
H2O + H+ → 2H+ + •OH	H2O/•OH	2.30
O2 + 2H+ + 2e− → H2O2	O2/H2O2	0.26

^a)Redox potentials were calculated using the method described in reference ^{[ 172 ]} and the Nernst Equation.
