Recent Advances in Hybrid Seawater Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production
Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory · International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory
Abstract
Seawater electrolysis (SWE) is a promising and potentially cost-effective approach to hydrogen production, considering that seawater is vastly abundant and SWE is able to combine with offshore renewables producing green hydrogen. However, SWE has long been suffering from technical challenges including the high energy demand and interference of chlorine chemistry, leading electrolyzers to a low efficiency and short lifespan. In this context, hybrid SWE, operated by replacing the energy-demanding oxygen evolution reaction and interfering chlorine evolution reaction (CER) with a thermodynamically more favorable anodic oxidation reaction (AOR) or by designing innovative electrolyzer cells, has recently emerged as…
