Fred,
Recombination of 2 OH to form HOOH is 2.2 eV per bond (213
kJ/mole) is lost energy ...
But it isn't "lost" if it supplies the energy (recycling the
catalyst) needed to dissociate the O from the M-O, for instance.
Or, from you original post about your experience with Manganese
reactio
Some numbers to ponder, Jones.
It takes less than 2.5 eV to electrolyze water as opposed to the 498 kJ/mole
(5.17 eV) H-OH bond energy.
OTOH, the Ag-O bond energy is 2.38 eV and the Ag-H bond energy
is 2.23 eV.
It has been experimentally verified that water dissociates to
adsorbed H and OH o

If you want to convince us that there is free energy here, then
I
think you need to show a complete closed cycle of net exothermic
chemical reactions.
It's not that simple. And I am not saying that there is a net
free-energy exotherm for the complete biological process -
