9. A method for environmental disinfection comprising:
providing a catalyst for generating hydrogen peroxide induced by a temperature difference, wherein the catalyst comprises:
a plurality of thermoelectric materials being distributed on a substrate, wherein in a top view, the plurality of thermoelectric materials are independently dispersed on the substrate;
placing the catalyst in an environment with the temperature difference; and
causing the catalyst to induce a reaction between water vapor and oxygen contained in air through the temperature difference to generate the hydrogen peroxide without applying power, and serve a sterilization function through the hydrogen peroxide generated.
