Stanford researchers develop new electrolysis system to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen

Green Car Congress

Electrolysis of water to generate hydrogen fuel is an attractive renewable energy storage technology. Theoretically, to power cities and cars, you need so much hydrogen it is not conceivable to use purified water, said Hongjie Dai, J.G. Image credit: Courtesy of H.
