Scientists Find New Way To Make Hydrogen Directly From Seawater

RMIT University researchers have developed a cheaper and more energy-efficient way to make hydrogen directly from seawater. In a critical step towards a truly viable green hydrogen industry the new method splits the seawater directly into hydrogen and oxygen. The new process skips the need for desalination and its associated cost, energy consumption and carbon emissions.

The new method has been detailed in a lab-scale study published in the Wiley journal, Small. Hydrogen has long been touted as a clean future fuel and a potential…
