Dongfang Electric reports successful test of direct seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Indirect seawater splitting by using a pre-desalination process can avoid side-reaction and corrosion problems, but it requires additional energy input, making it economically less attractive. The floating hydrogen production platform Dongfu One is sited in an offshore wind farm in East China’s Fujian province. Resources Xie, H.,

New photocatalytic system converts carbon dioxide to valuable fuel more efficiently than natural photosynthesis

Green Car Congress

A joint research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and collaborators have developed a stable artificial photocatalytic system that is more efficient than natural photosynthesis. The new system mimics a natural chloroplast to convert carbon dioxide in water into methane, very efficiently using light.
