New Electrode Revolutionizes Hydrogen Production from Seawater

University of Tsukuba researchers have developed highly durable electrodes without precious metals to enable direct hydrogen production from seawater. Water electrolysis utilizing renewable energy sources is emerging as a promising clean method for hydrogen production. But the water electrolysis method, a promising avenue for hydrogen production, relies on substantial freshwater consumption, thereby limiting the regions available with water resources required for water electrolysis. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a new technology for water…
