Hi guys

Are there ways you know to synthesize K2O
without resorting to extreme heat/peroxides/Na?

I guess it would mean you need to make metallic potassium.
1. Melt KOH and do electrolysis.
2. Check out Nurdrage's channel. There is a non electrolysis method. It requires KOH and also Mg and a couple of compounds.

Looks like someone tried it (AllChemystery)

For sodium, from NurdRage. This one requires reacting NaOH and Mg and it will generate high temperatures by itself.

We must attach the electrodes of knowledge to the nipples of ignorance and give a few good jolts.
Yes my evolutionary friends. We are all homos here.
