A membrane-based seawater electrolyser for hydrogen generation (2022)
Here we propose a direct seawater electrolysis method for hydrogen production that radically addresses the side-reaction and corrosion problems.
A demonstration system was stably operated at a current density of 250 milliamperes per square centimetre for over 3,200 hours under practical application conditions without failure.
This strategy realizes efficient, size-flexible and scalable direct seawater electrolysis in a way similar to freshwater splitting without a notable increase in operation cost, and has high potential for practical application.
The issue is you’re going to need distilled water in order to create hydrogen particles.
