Strontium peroxide is aninorganic compound with the formulaSrO2 that exists in both anhydrous and octahydrate form, both of which are white solids. The anhydrous form adopts a structure similar to that ofcalcium carbide.[4][5]
Strontium peroxide is produced by passing oxygen over heatedstrontium oxide. Upon heating in the absence of O2, it degrades to SrO and O2. It is more thermally labile than BaO2.[6][7]
