An oxygen generator has a composition for generating oxygen and a basic compound. The composition for generating oxygen includes an oxygen source, an ionic liquid, a metal salt, and an optional basic compound. The oxygen source is a peroxide compound, the ionic liquid is in the liquid state at least in a temperature range from −10° C. to +50° C., the metal salt has one single metal or two or more different metals, and an organic and/or an inorganic anion. There is also described a method for starting or accelerating the oxygen production of an oxygen generating composition, and a device for generating oxygen in a controlled manner. |
