Cement manufacture is a huge carbon emitter. A by-product of splitting seawater might make the process more environmentally friendly.

While hydrogen production technologies are gaining attraction for a sustainable energy transition, traditional water ...

Electrolysis can be used to extract the ... and form oxygen molecules The oxygen reacts with the carbon in the electrodes, forming carbon dioxide which bubbles off. Carbon is therefore lost ...

Carbon electrodes are chosen because they have a high melting point and are inert (they will not react with the reactants and products during electrolysis). The observations are summarised in the ...

Decreasing the dependence on expensive platinum-group metals like iridium is vital for the expansion of “green” hydrogen ...
