Peroxide is still around...

...the paper concludes that peroxide is still being formed, just not as directly involved with the triboelectric fields of the saltating sand. Apparently the conductivity of the air and sand is too high for fields to build up to the previously imagined high voltages, but that doesn't rule out lower charge levels having some role in atmospheric processes.
