Two key problems arise when using seawater for electrolysis: Unwanted chemical reactions: The chlorine in seawater tends to react faster than the oxygen we aim to produce, creating competition and ...

A recent study by Professor Andrew K Sweetman (leader of the Seafloor Ecology and Biogeochemistry research group at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), published in Nature ...

Ruff said he hoped to collaborate with Sweetman and other scientists involved in the dark oxygen research to understand how the chemical signature of the oxygen produced by seawater electrolysis ...

splitting seawater into oxygen and hydrogen through electrolysis. The unprecedented natural phenomenon challenges the idea that oxygen can only be made from sunlight via photosynthesis.

With £3 million allocated, the initiatives cover diverse areas such as seawater electrolysis, the repurposing of offshore oil and gas assets, and the development of decarbonized steel production ...

In the realm of energy applications, graphdiyne has shown great promise in seawater electrolysis, where it has been integrated with RhO x nanocrystals to create a highly efficient catalytic ...

Researchers have developed carbon cloth electrodes that efficiently remove boron from seawater, potentially replacing costly chemicals in desalination. The electrodes remove boron from desalinated ...

says their new electrode is capable of extracting hydrogen and oxygen from seawater while leaving the salt behind. This is significant because the salt usually produces toxic chlorine gas during ...
