New year, new #technology!
Researchers in China have developed a seawater electrolysis system (SES) for the direct electrolysis of seawater, without side reactions or corrosion.
The new method works via self-driven water migration to sidestep the need for a separate desalination process.
Obviously still early stages, but this could potentially drive up efficiency rates in #greenhydrogen production if scaled. Another key observation is that this could potentially also be used to extract key elements such as #lithium from water as well.
Could this be a new #energy turning point?
New electrolyzer to split saltwater into hydrogen
Chinese scientists have developed a new way to split seawater into hydrogen without using a separate desalination process. They incorporated a self-breathable waterproof membrane and a self-dampening electrolyte (SDE) into the electrolyzer, so water migrates from the seawater across the membrane to the SDE, without extra energy consumption.

This is great for green desalination plants which would bring drinking water and crop irrigation to drought stricken areas.
