Seawater electrolysis for sustainable hydrogen generation (2024)

Abstract:
This project aims to produce green hydrogen from seawater with the development of stable and effective electrocatalyst. It is expected to develop electrocatalysts with strong tolerance to chloride ion corrosion while maintain efficient hydrogen generation in seawater. The success of this project will strengthen our understanding on improving the electrocatalysts robustness to electrolyte impurity and achieve cost-effective hydrogen production with the abundant saline water. It will largely boost Australia¿s hydrogen sector with advanced hydrogen production technology. Meanwhile, it will expand my research spectrum from fundamental materials science to applied research and provide me an opportunity to nucleate potential industry collaborations.
