Potassium Persulfate (peroxydisulfate)

So oxone aka potassium peroxymonosulfate can be found quite easily is there a way to oxidize it to the peroxydisulfate
Ive tried adding hydrogen peroxide

Oxone unknown solubility

But wikipedia states for potassium peroxydisulfate
1.75 g/100 mL (0 °C)
4.49 g/100 ml (20 °C)

Also could oxidation be performed with electrolysis of Sulfuric acid and oxone if so what are the conditions and the pitfalls with in this

What should the concetration of sulfuric acid be at
Will the formed product dissolve in the strong acid
Or should the acid be dilute
